Hi again, Robert... I'm really sorry to still not be getting it, but in my case, I'm unable to carry any settings over from one image to the next. I don't have something called "Toolbox" either...in my version (1.1.1) there is a window with a tab labeled "Tools" and "Batch" and "Open." Is that what you mean?
If so...how are you able to copy and paste the settings? I just see sliders -- without any field to type in a number. For example, I can adjust the slider until the "Exposure" reads "1.18" but I can't copy that number or type "1.18" in manually...each time I have to use the slider (Perhaps this could be a possible suggestion for the future? It would be great to be able to type these numbers in rather than always sliding them). As soon as I select a different raw image from the list above, all the settings are back to the original defaults. Do I first need to click "Add to Batch Queue" to have the settings apply to all the selected photos? Is that one link that I am missing? I'm also wondering what the use of the "A", "B", and "C" is. Are these for creating different versions of the same image? For example, a color, b&w, and sepia version of the same selected file? Also, what is the "Iconbox" that you mentioned. I don't see anything in my version with that label. Is that the thumbnail strip across the top with the "Priorities" tab next to it? Many thanks! I've really been impressed by the quality of the pictures that Rawstudio produces from the raws -- it's much superior to the auto-jpgs my camera makes. I'm just very unfamiliar with the terms and tools, and haven't found any clear information or guides explaining them. This forum has been very helpful!
