operations by default. If you don’t want to lift and stamp RAW Fine Tuning adjustments,
you must deselect them in the Lift & Stamp HUD.

The pointer changes from the Selection tool to the Lift tool.

The Lift & Stamp HUD appears, showing the RAW Fine Tuning parameter values,
adjustments, IPTC metadata, and keywords applied to the image.

Fine Tuning parameter values from one image to another.

In the toolbar, select the Stamp tool, then click the Stamp Selected Images button in
the Lift & Stamp HUD.
