I’d like to process RAW photos on Linux without spending a long time editing every image individually. Is there software that lets me adjust one photo—such as white balance—and then apply those settings to a whole batch? Ideally I want a workflow that only needs a few clicks per photo when needed.

Yes. Batch RAW processing on Linux is possible, and you don’t necessarily have to edit every photo from scratch.
From the answers provided:
- RawStudio supports the kind of batch workflow you want and is designed to simplify RAW post-processing.
- UFRaw can also do this: edit one image, save the settings to a .ufraw ID file, then use ufraw-batch to apply those settings to other images.
- dcraw is a widely used foundational RAW conversion tool on Linux, though it’s more of a low-level converter than a streamlined interactive batch workflow app.
So if your goal is to correct something like white balance once and reuse it across a set of similar shots, RAW can absolutely be worth it. The most practical choices mentioned here are RawStudio for an easier workflow-oriented interface, or UFRaw + ufraw-batch if you’re comfortable saving settings and applying them in batch.
