But thanks to the folks over at Feroxsoft, you can now batch enhance your photos in iPhoto 5 or 6, applying "built in effects (enhance, black-white and sepia plus even more in iPhoto 6) as well the adjustment-palette with a few mouse clicks to your selection of photos." 

I just tried it, and man...it's sweet. I often take several shots of same subject usually from different angles, and if I do nothing more than apply the batch enhancement tool to each one of them, then iPhoto Batch Enhancer 2 is a huge time saver. 

This application ought to win some type of award. It also allows you to take a snapshot of the various adjustments you made for one photo and apply them to one or more other photos. Now you don't have to pull up ten photos with the same basic lighting conditions and apply the same adjustments over and over again.

Dang, Apple, why wasn't this batch enhancer included in iPhoto 6? We all can't afford Aperture. 

The developers of  Feroxsoft are too nice. iPhoto Btach Enhancer 2 is a donationware application, but it's worth ten to twenty bucks, especially from those of us who take lots of photos. I can't say enough about how useful this application will be to my work in iPhoto. Even though Photoshop CS 2 has batch change functions, I don't always like hauling it out for regular everyday shots I take for my photo blog or for my personal enjoyment.

Head of over to Feroxsoft and download copy of iPhoto Batch Enhancer 2. You won't be disappointed.
