Next, paste the development parameters or image properties recorded in the paste buffer to a single or multiple selected images.
Pasting methods are different for "Development parameters" and "Image properties". The following explains how to paste.
7.1.1. Paste development parameters
This is the method for pasting overall "Development parameters" as a batch.(*1)
By the menu command [Parameters (P)]-[Paste development parameters (P)] or the shortcut key [Ctrl]+V, you can paste the entire development parameter from the paste buffer to the selected images.
By the menu command [Parameters (P)]-[Paste development parameters (P)] or the shortcut key [Ctrl]+V, you can paste the entire development parameter from the paste buffer to the selected images.
| *1 | The "Crop tool" is treated as special parameters not included in the whole, and are not copied. Please copy this parameters using the "Partial paste of development parameters" function. |
7.1.2. Partial paste of development parameters Use when pasting partial development parameters and parameters that are not development parameters (crop tool) that are recorded in the paste buffer.
The menu command [Parameters (P)]-[Partial paste of development parameters] displays the "Partial paste of development parameters" dialog. Clicking [Paste] button pastes the selected part of the parameters to the target images.
7.1.3. Partial paste of image properties The menu command [Parameters (P)]-[Partial paste of development parameters] displays the "Partial paste of development parameters" dialog. Clicking [Paste] button pastes the selected part of the parameters to the target images.
Use this when copying the editing contents of "Image properties" to other images.
Information from an image with no edited "Image properties" cannot be copied to other images.
The "Partial paste of image properties" function is turned off when "Image properties" edited contents are not recorded in the paste buffer.
First, copy development parameters and image properties into the paste buffer from "Copy development parameters".
Next, display the "Partial paste of image properties" dialog with [Parameters (P)]-[Partial paste of image properties] from the menu.
Edit items in "Image properties" will be displayed in the "Partial paste of image properties" dialog.
Check the items from "Image properties" for pasting and click the "Start" button.
7.1.4. Special handling of pasted development parameters Information from an image with no edited "Image properties" cannot be copied to other images.
The "Partial paste of image properties" function is turned off when "Image properties" edited contents are not recorded in the paste buffer.
First, copy development parameters and image properties into the paste buffer from "Copy development parameters".
Next, display the "Partial paste of image properties" dialog with [Parameters (P)]-[Partial paste of image properties] from the menu.
Edit items in "Image properties" will be displayed in the "Partial paste of image properties" dialog.
Check the items from "Image properties" for pasting and click the "Start" button.
| * | Please note that if you paste "DateTime" of photograph taken, the edited contents for "DateTime" will be a different date and time. Please refer to "4.14.8. DateTime" for details. |
When copying development parameters through pasting development parameters or partial paste, some development parameters are processed through a special conversion.
Furthermore, development parameters that have settings for "On" and "Off" are specially handled.
7.1.4.1. Paste Cropping Area
Furthermore, development parameters that have settings for "On" and "Off" are specially handled.
7.1.4.1. Paste Cropping Area
When pasting the "Crop tool" by the "Partial paste of development parameters" function, "Crop tool" is appropriately converted according to the image orientation or the development parameter.
When the orientation of the image is different, "cropping area" is turned 90 degrees.
When the image is transformed by "Rotation/Shift lens effect" function, the "cropping area" is relocated to become identical the relative position in the default valid area.
This conversion adjust only a position and an orientation, but the size of the cropping area is not changed. The extension area settings are pasted just as it is.
When pasting the parameter which does not specify a cropping area, the "cropping area" of the target image will be initialized.
7.1.4.2. Pasting Shift lens effect When the orientation of the image is different, "cropping area" is turned 90 degrees.
When the image is transformed by "Rotation/Shift lens effect" function, the "cropping area" is relocated to become identical the relative position in the default valid area.
This conversion adjust only a position and an orientation, but the size of the cropping area is not changed. The extension area settings are pasted just as it is.
When pasting the parameter which does not specify a cropping area, the "cropping area" of the target image will be initialized.
Top-bottom and left-right shifts in the shift lens effect parameters of the "Rotation/Shift lens effect" category are parameters that depend on the aspect of the image. Whether the image is horizontal or vertical is one criterion.
Therefore, if the shift lens effect parameter set on a horizontal image is pasted on a vertical image, "Top-bottom shift" and "Left-right shift" parameters will appropriately convert them.
This conversion is performed when images are rotated in 90degree units.
Therefore, if the shift lens effect parameter set on a horizontal image is pasted on a vertical image, "Top-bottom shift" and "Left-right shift" parameters will appropriately convert them.
This conversion is performed when images are rotated in 90degree units.
7.2. Save Development Parameters You can record and save development parameters of a selected image as a file.
Click on
in the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, or use [Parameters (P)]-[Save development parameters] in the menu to begin processing.
SILKYPIX automatically records and saves the latest status of edited development parameters, but please use this if you want to save the status of development parameters at will.

7.3. Load Development Parameters
You can load the development parameters from the saved parameter file (.spd) by the "Save development parameter" function, or from the developed image file (.jpg/.tif) by SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6.Click on
in the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, or use [Parameters (P)]-[Load development parameters (L)] in the menu to begin processing.If you select multiple images in the "Thumbnail" mode or the "Combination" mode, you can load the development parameter to all selected images.
* By SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6 , the development parameter is embedded into the developed image file (.jpg/.tif). And you can load the development parameter from this developed image file.
For example, how to operate and use the features are noted below.
| (1) | You must save the developed image file (.jpg/.tif) with Exif information to embed the development parameter into the file. |
| (2) | Please select the target images to load. * If you select multiple images, you can load the development parameter to all selected images. |
| (3) | Display "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control by clicking the [Tastes/Parameters] button. |
| (4) | Click the [Load development parameters] button on the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control. |
| (5) | The "Load development parameters" dialog will be displayed. Designate the location in which JPEG / TIFF image files were saved in (1) above in the "File name" field. |
| (6) | Change the "File type" field as needed. |
| (7) | Select the source JPEG/TIFF file and then Click the [Open(O)] button. |
| (8) | The development parameter will be loaded to all selected images. |
7.4. Initialize Development Parameters Return development parameters of one or multiple selected images to initial status. If default parameters are set, default parameters will be applied.
Click on
in the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, or use [Parameters (P)]-[Initialize development parameters (I)] in the menu to begin processing.

7.5. Copy Development Parameters to Storerooms In the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, you can save the development parameter in the storerooms temporarily, and you can also restore the development parameter from the storerooms.
You can utilize this feature to save the development parameter temporarily during operating one image, or to copy the development parameter from one image to other images.
The Storerooms has four rooms (ROOM) that you can freely utilize, and a special room (Latest) that automatically stores the latest editing parameters.
Click the 
button at the left side of the storerooms to save the development parameter of the selected image. Then a subscription time is displayed at the storerooms and it becomes active.
Click the active storerooms to paste the development parameter to the selected images.
This feature can be utilized for the comparison of two development parameters, too.
7.5.1. Paste the latest editing development parameters
You can utilize this feature to save the development parameter temporarily during operating one image, or to copy the development parameter from one image to other images.
The Storerooms has four rooms (ROOM) that you can freely utilize, and a special room (Latest) that automatically stores the latest editing parameters.

7.5.1. Paste the latest editing development parameters
The latest status of edited development parameters is always stored in a room for temporary registrations, shown as "Latest" at the bottom.
By pasting image parameters stored in this room to other images, you can continue working on other successive images under the editing status of other images being operated on up to that point.
Editing results of one image can be applied to other images as is, if images were taken under roughly the same photographic conditions or are successive, such as when photographed in a studio or when photographed in successive mode. This can also efficiently adjust the development parameters of multiple photographs by starting editing from that point, even if not kept exactly the same.
