Batch Convert, Image Manager

Batchconvert

There’s no ‘batch convert option’ in Lightroom menu. But you can save develop settings and apply them to another single image or a whole group of images with a synchronize option that allows to copy only the settings specified by you.

Image manager

Lightroom has its whole image managing system and not only files and folders window with ratings.
First of all you should import the images to Lightroom in order to work with them. The imported images can be moved, copied, or referenced to the Lightroom Library by different means (including direct transfer from a CD or DVD). There’s a number of things you can do during the process of import – the images can be set to be renamed, or certain presets can be applied.
The program may be set to automatically import photos from a certain - watched - folder.
The organization of imported photos in Lightroom Library also has several levels. All info on the photos is contained in a catalog (the familiarity of library terminology helps here). For the particular purposes the photos can be formed into collections, with the possibility of one photo being in several collections simultaneously. And, finally, within a collection or a catalog similar photos can be put in stalks – a convenient way of finding them quickly and keeping together.

stacking

It’s obvious that images can be rated, color labeled, have metadata keywords added too them – all that to make the sorting easier.
