Modifying properties for multiple files
• When multiple files are selected, check boxes appear for slider settings that do not match across all selected files. When you
drag the slider or type a new value, the check box is automatically selected, and the new value is applied to all selected files
when you click OK. Clear the check box to leave the setting unchanged for the selected files.
• If values already match for a slider setting, no check box is displayed, and any changes made to the setting are applied to all
selected files.
• If values do not match for a drop-down setting, the setting is blank. If you choose a value for a blank drop-down setting, that
value is applied to all selected files.
