Renaming formats

Corel AfterShot Pro includes powerful renaming formats for photos. You can use renaming formats, also called renaming

variables, to generate descriptive names for your photos. The photo name can include dates, times, image data, job

sequence data, and other information.

There are four categories of renaming formats:

 Date/Time — specifies variables that use the date and time data from your camera.

 EXIF — specifies tags that use shooting data applied to the raw image from the camera.

 Original File — specifies tags that use the original image naming data applied to the image by the camera.

 Special/Sequences — specifies custom job naming and image numbering tags that can be based on user input at the

time the image is processed.

Basic Naming Formats

A basic renaming format might include the original name that was applied to the photos by the camera. For example, one

default renaming formats looks like this:

[oname][ext]

 [oname]— represents the original file name (from the camera)

 [ext] — applies the file extension for the file type you want to output to. For example, if you are outputting JPEGs,

this variable applies a .jpg extension to the file name.

In addition, you can use constants to add information to the name. For example, a renaming format that uses constants

might look like this:

MyPics[oname][ext]

In this case, the prefix "MyPics" is added to the beginning of each image name. While adding information to a renaming

format in this way can be helpful, Corel AfterShot Pro provides more powerful ways to apply specific names to processed

images.

Job Name and Numbering Sequences

The job sequence renaming variables let you specify a job name and a counting sequence associated with a particular job.

Since the value of the job name variable is input by you as you process images, it is possible to use one Output Batch to

process images for several jobs simultaneously. For example, suppose you are processing images for the following two

jobs: SmithWedding and JonesWedding. You can use these renaming variables to process images for both jobs:

[jobname]-[jobseq][ext]

In this case, the [jobname] variable prompts you for a job name. If you are processing images from the Smith wedding,

when Corel AfterShot Pro prompts you for a job name, you can enter SmithWedding, and the image processes using that

name. The [jobseq] number is a counter that counts the processed images associated with the job name. The counter

starts at 0. So, the name of the first image processed for the Smith wedding job will look like this:

SmithWedding-0.jpb

The name of the second processed image for the Smith wedding will look like this:

SmithWedding-1.jpg
