Make & keep
Apply one Photos edit to several iPhone strip frames
Copy a light or colour adjustment from one frame, then paste it across selected images while checking each result.
A four-frame strip photographed under one lamp may need a consistent exposure or colour adjustment. Photos on iPhone can copy edits to a selection of other photos. This keeps the adjustment workflow together, but it does not make every frame identical: review skin tones and shadows after pasting.
Choose a reference frame
Start with the most representative frame. In Photos, open it, tap Edit and make the light or colour changes. Tap More, choose Copy Edits, review the listed adjustments, turn off anything you do not want to transfer, then tap Copy. Crop and retouch settings are not appropriate to copy as a shared look; frame composition differs from frame to frame.

Paste to the other frames
Return to the library, tap Select, and choose the other frames from the same session. Tap More and choose Paste Edits. Photos applies the selected settings to the batch. Compare each result against its own original by tapping the image while editing.

Review the batch
Treat this as a first pass, not a locked preset. White balance and exposure may be adjusted automatically to make the selected images closer, and expressions or clothing can still change how a setting reads. If a frame loses detail, edit it separately or undo the batch; keep the originals in Photos, which retains the source image for later reversion.
