When you're editing several photos at once (in Batch), you can use Apply to all to copy the edits you make on one image to all of the others in that batch.
For example, let's say you open one of the images in the editor and change its background. When you exit the editor, you can use Apply to all to add that same background to all the other images in the batch.

Important: If you use Next to edit images in sequence, Apply to all will only copy the edits from the last image you edited. Any different edits made to earlier images in the sequence will be lost.
Using "Apply to all" when editing a single image
If you edit a single image in a batch and then exit the editor, Photoroom will display the Apply to all message.
You can either:
Select Apply to all to give every image in your batch the edits you have just made.
Do nothing and wait for the message to close automatically (it is time-sensitive). When the message closes, Photoroom will apply the changes to the individual image you edited. The other images are not changed.
Using "Apply to all" when editing a sequence of images
When you have a batch of images, you can open any of the images in the editor. You can then use the editor to make changes to the selected image. When you have finished, you can either:
Exit the editor and choose whether you want the changes to apply to all of the other images in the batch.
Select Next to load the next batch image in the editor. You can then edit that image and use Next again to progress to the next batch image in sequence.
Using the Next option can be a time-saver when editing batch images, but it changes how Apply to all works — Apply to all will only use the edits from the last image you edited.
When you use Next and edit images in sequence, you edit each image individually. After editing the last image, you exit the editor and Photoroom asks if you want to apply to all:
If you select Apply to all, Photoroom will:
Only keep the changes you made to the last batch image that you edited
Apply those changes to all images in the batch
Discard any different changes that you made to earlier images in the sequence.
If you don't select Apply to all, Photoroom will:
Keep the different changes you made for each batch image in the sequence.
Example:
Let's say you have 3 images in your batch.
You open the first image in the editor and give it a background and add a logo.
You select Next to display the second image in the editor. You give the second image a different background and add a different logo.
You select Next to display the third image. You give the third image a logo and add a different background.
You select the checkmark to complete the edit (you could also select X).
Photoroom asks you if you want to apply the changes to all.
If you select Apply to all, the changes you made to the last image you edited will apply to all of the images in the batch. Any other edits you made in the sequence will be lost.
If you do not select Apply to all, Photoroom will keep the changes you made to each image in the sequence.
In short: When using Next, Apply to all copies the edits from the final image only. It does not preserve or combine edits made earlier in the sequence.
Why has "Apply to all" lost some of my changes?
If you have selected Apply to all and it has caused some of your edits to be lost, it is usually because you did all of the following:
Used the Next feature.
Edited the images differently
Exited the editor and chose to Apply to all.
As a result, Photoroom took only the set of changes from the last image in the sequence and applied them to all images. Edits to other images in the sequence were discarded.
To learn about why this happens, scroll up and read the Using "Apply to all" when editing a sequence of images section.
If you didn't use the Next feature and have lost changes while editing a batch, contact support for assistance.
