Can’t export multiple images in Capture One

If you can export only one image at a time in Capture One, turn on Edit All Selected. This setting controls whether Capture One applies actions — like adjustments, metadata, and exports—to just the primary variant or to all selected images.

Note: To apply edits like Exposure or HDR to multiple images, you may want to use Speed Edit keys.

How to fix it

1. In the menu bar, pick Image.

   

2. Click Edit All Selected or use Shift+Cmd+E keyboard shortcut.
3. Export again. All selected images should now export together.

Troubleshooting

• Confirm selection: Make sure more than one thumbnail is highlighted before you export. Highlighted variants will have a thin grey border around them. 
• Check the primary variant: If only one thumbnail shows a thick white border and the others aren’t highlighted, you’re exporting the primary variant only.
• Toggle the setting: Click the Edit Selected icon off and on once to reset the state, then try exporting again.
