Copying and pasting color adjustments

The Copy and Paste Adjustments feature in Photomator lets you copy a combination of color adjustments from one photo to another. It offers a quick and easy way to apply the same look and feel to your photos.

Important: The Copy and Paste Adjustments feature is currently designed to work with the color adjustments applied to base photo. If your photo only has selective adjustments applied but has no adjustments on the base layer, the Color Adjustments Not Found message will appear when trying to copy the adjustments.


On Mac

    • Press Shift ⇧ + Command ⌘ + C on your keyboard.
    • In photo editing mode, click in the Photomator toolbar, then choose Copy Adjustments.
    • Control ⌃ — click the photo in the filmstrip and choose Copy Adjustments.
