Rename automaticallyThis option makes it possible for you to rename all your photos to something better in no time.You can either select one predefined pattern or write one yourself. Everything that you write between the characters % will be interpreted as a tag value. Everything else will be reproduced as is. Examples: If you write '%name%.%ext%', the %name% tag will be replaced by the original filename. If you write 'holiday%counter%.%ext%', the filenames will look like 'holiday1.jpg', 'holiday2.jpg', ... There is a long list of possible tag to choose from that will take a value if the photo contains metadata about it. The possibilities are endless. |
Organize in sub-folders automaticallyThis option makes it possible for you to group your photos into relevant subfolders automatically. The pattern is defined in pretty much the same way as for renaming, but the character / will stand as a directory separator to introduce a new sub-folder.Examples: If you write %y%, the photos will be grouped in the subfolders '2008', '2007', ... If you write %y%%m%, the photos will be grouped in the subfolders '200810', '200709', ... There is a long list of possible tag to choose from that will take a value if the photo contains metadata about it. The possibilities are endless. |

RAW processingThe RAW processing panel will let you develop your digital negatives in batch. You can choose a brightness level. If it is inferior to 1, your photos will be darker and if it is superior to 1 they will be brighter.The white balance gives a particular color temperature to your photos. It refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light. You can choose to select the white balanced stored in your digital camera or let it be automatically optimized. You can choose to use denoising. A stronger denoising level will have stronger effect but might remove interesting details. For all these settings you can use the quality preview in order to check the result of your choice of parameters. |
