Sometimes I have a whole bunch of nearly identical images which I will likely crop in the same way. I know it’s kind of a risky move. But is there a way for me to apply one crop to a series of images? And in general is there a standard way to do a batch operation on a series of images?
Yes. The app has copy and paste of adjustments. It is described in the user manual. For best results, I suggest copying adjustments from an image, leaving Edit, and the selecting other images and using Paste outside of Edit. Crop is an adjustment.
