Enhancing Images

4 Choose a destination for the processed images

In the Destination section, choose options for saving the processed images.

Use source folder: When this option is selected, processed images will be saved to the same folder as the original.

Use source file name: When this option is selected, processed images will be saved under the same name and in the same location as the original images, although the file exten- sion will change if the chosen file format differs from the original. A warning will be dis- played if the file name already exists. This option can not be selected at the same time as Delete files from this folder after they are processed.

Save to: This text box shows the folder to which the images will be saved after process- ing. To choose a new folder, click the Browse... button to the right of the text box and navigate to the desired location. This option is not available when Use source folder is selected. A folder with the same name will be created in the destination folder.

Next file name: This text box shows a sample of the file names that will be used when sav- ing the images after processing. Click Edit... to modify file naming rules ( 113).

Save as type: Choose the file format that will be used to save the processed images. The

following formats are available: Use source file type, NEF (Nikon Electronic Format), TIFF Format (RGB), TIFF Format (CMYK), and JPEG Format. When NEF or TIFF (RGB) is selected, compression can be chosen from a pull-down menu. When JPEG is selected, the compression ratio can be chosen from “Highest Compression Ratio,” “Good Compression Ratio,” “Good Balance,” “Good Quality,” and “Excellent Quality.” For more information on the options available, see “Saving Images” ( 83).

Bit Depth: The bit depth (the number of bits of color information per channel for each pixel in the image) at which the image will be saved. Bit depth can only be selected if the selected file type is TIFF (RGB) and the original image has a bit depth of over eight bits.

Embed ICC Profile: Select this option to embed an ICC profile in each image.

File Naming Conventions

Windows: In environments that do not support long file names, the maximum length is eight char-

acters; file names may not contain spaces, quotes, or any of the following characters: “\\” “/” “:” “.” “;” “*” “?” “<“ “>” and “”.

Where long file names are supported, file names may not contain quotes or any of the following charac- ters: “\\” “/” “:” “.” “;” “*” “?” “<“ “>” and “”.

Macintosh: The maximum length for Macintosh file names is thirty-one characters. Colons (“:”) are not allowed.

Size/Resolution

If Keep the crop is selected, all images will be rescaled before they are saved. Otherwise images will be saved at the selected size. If the height : width ratio of the original is larger than that of the selected out- put dimensions, the right edge of the image will be trimmed; if smaller, the bottom will be trimmed.

Existing Image Adjustment Settings

If the Apply settings already in files option is not checked, any changes to settings stored with files saved in NEF format will be ignored, and the settings in the selected settings file applied. If you have processed a series of NEF images separately and want to save them all as sixteen-bit TIFF, you can check this option and use batch processing to save all the images to a single folder in sixteen-bit TIFF format.
