Apply the warm film look to every keeper in this folder and export JPEGs at quality 92.
Batch editing is where most RAW workflows get clumsy: either you copy and paste develop settings and hope, or you sit through a sync dialog per group.
Because imagic exposes editing as tools rather than only as a user interface, an agent can run the whole loop: read the available looks, apply one to a named set, nudge individual sliders where a frame needs it, and export the result.
What happens, step by step
See what looks exist
list_presets returns the scene presets and colour grades available, so the agent picks a real one rather than inventing a name.
Apply it across a set
apply_preset takes a list of photo ids and a preset name. Ask for it by description and the agent resolves it.
Fix the outliers
apply_adjustments sets slider values on a single photo when one frame needs different treatment from the rest.
Export
export_photos renders everything with its stored edits into a folder you name, in the format and quality you asked for.
Why it is worth doing this way
The agent is not guessing at pixels. It calls the same editing engine the desktop app uses, so you get batch editing you can talk to, with every result still open in imagic afterwards.
The tools behind it
Nothing here is a black box. This workflow is these tools, in this order, and you can read exactly what each one does:
Getting set up
You need imagic Max and an MCP client. The free 7-day trial includes Max with no card, and connecting a client takes about three minutes:
Questions
Which RAW formats work?
The same ones imagic supports in the desktop app, including CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF and DNG.
Can I see what it did?
get_photo_edits reads back the adjustments on any photo, and every frame stays open in imagic for inspection.
Does it overwrite originals?
No. Edits are stored per photo and applied when you export. Originals are never rewritten.

- Find duplicate and near-duplicate photos
- Score and rank photos automatically
