On the iPhone and iPad versions of Photoroom, there is an Apply to all feature. It allows you to make edits once, on the last design in the batch, and then have Photoroom automatically apply the same changes to the other designs.
It is important to understand how Apply to all works, as it can save you a lot of time and effort. But it can also cause you to lose edits made to individual images if you use it incorrectly.
Here, we explain how Apply to all works so that you can understand when and how to use it.
Note: Apply to all is not available on the Web App or Android versions of Photoroom.
What does Apply to all do?
Apply to all applies the edits made to the last image in a batch to all of the other images in the same batch. Importantly, it overwrites any edits that have been made in the other images.
To show you how it works, we will work through an example.
The batch:
Let's say you have 3 images in your batch and you import them into the same template.
The edit:
You edit the last image in the batch and add text for "30% Off".
Apply to all result:
You select Done on the last image in the batch and then select Apply to all. Photoroom adds the edits from the last image to all of the other images in the batch, and so they all get the "30% Off" text.
Apply to all overwrites any edits that you have made to the other images in a batch. Only the edits to the last image are kept, all of the other edits are lost.
If you need to keep edits that you've made to the other images, DO NOT select Apply to all. Instead, let its timer run out so that Photoroom keeps the individual edits for each design in the batch.
When to use Apply to all
Use Apply to all if:
You want to make the same edits to every design in a batch. Make the edits on the last design in the batch, select Done and then select Apply to all before the timer runs out.
Do not use Apply to all if:
You want to make different edits to one or more designs in the batch. For example, if you wanted one design to have "20% off" text but another design should have "35% off" text. In this scenario, do not select Apply to all. Let its timer run out and then continue. Photoroom will then keep the individual edits you have made to each design in the batch.
When is Apply to all available?
The Apply to all option becomes available when you follow these steps:
Edit a design that is part of a batch.
Select Next to progress to the next design, until you eventually reach the last design in the batch.
Select Done.
When you select Done on the last design in a batch, the Apply to all option appears and its timer begins. The timer is shown as a purple loading bar at the top of the dialog.
Why has Apply to all lost all my changes?
If you select Apply to all, Photoroom does this:
Copies the changes that were made to the last design in the batch.
Removes any edits that have been made to the other designs in the batch.
Pastes the changes from the last design into the other designs.
So if you made edits to the other designs in the batch, those edits are lost if you select Apply to all. This is the expected behavior.
If you want to keep any edits you have made to individual images in a batch, DO NOT select Apply to all. Instead, let its timer run down. When the timer expires, Photoroom keeps the edits made to each design.
