I have edited an image in Apple PHOTO. I want to copy these edits and apply them to another photo or group of photos. This was a simple keystroke in iPhoto. is there a Keystroke in Photo?

Yes, there are keyboard shortcuts, but it is a bit clumsy in Photos. You can do it only in Edit mode, and not as batch processing.

While in Edit mode use the shortcut ⇧⌘C to copy the adjustments from the currently edited photo, then paste them onto another photo with ⇧⌘V. The commands are in the Image menu in Photos and only available in Edit mode. Only the adjustments done from the Adjustment pane can be copied and pasted, not the cropping.

If you want to apply the same adjustments to a batch of images, you can do it relatively quickly if they are next to each other in the libray - or if you put them into an album, and open the first in editing mode from the album.


You can then make the edits, copy them, then use the right arrow button to switch to each image in turn and past using the keyboard shortcut, then right arrow again to go to the next image.
