If you have a series of images shot under the same conditions, then you can take advantage of Aperture's ability to apply a set of image adjustments to another image or group of images simultaneously. You can choose to copy some or all of your changes. In Aperture, this process is called lift and stamp.

2. | Click the close button to close the Adjustments and Spot & Patch HUDs. |
3. | Click the Lift tool located on the toolbar above the Viewer (second button from right). |
4. | Click directly in the image in the Viewer.
