Digital Light & Color

Should first mention that I have played around with the Levels and Color Tool, as suggested by Jonathan in another thread, in particular for adding Saturation to only a portion of an image. This tool has reduced a number of needless steps I used to take, prior to being made aware of the tool. Awesome tool.

On a less important topic. I had an image that underwent changes and was saved, as expected, appended with V1. I then took this image into another program for a further change and when saved, renamed it with "sh" following v1 (as in _______ v1sh).

Back into PWP for further changes to ____________ v1sh. At first attempt to save the image, in the same folder, PWP suggested _________ v1sh v1 v1 v1.
Thinking I had inadvertently done something wrong, I tried again and __________ v1sh v1 v1 was suggested this time and also after further attempts. I had to manually name it ________ v1sh v1.

I made some additional changes to ___________ v1sh and tried to save, but PWP suggested ___________ v1sh v1, even though that image name already existed in the same folder. I did not try to click on Save, to see if the program would recognize the existence of that named file and change the name appropriately, as I did not wish to take a chance of having that file overwritten.

Between these steps and after saving an image, I closed all images, so only a single image and it's transformed image were open at one time, just to be clear.

I can only suspect the program may have difficulty with the addition of "sh" after the first "v1"??

Normally, you would name the second one v2 and not v1sh or possibly just sh without a v1 -- the version number has to be at the end of the filename.

Jonathan,

Thanks for the reply.

The image was named with "v1sh" for a couple reasons:

1. I was in Photoshop and ran a sharpening action that I was testing, so it would not have automatically labelled it with a "v2" as in PWP.

2. And, not to confuse myself, I thought it was easiest to just add "sh" to indicate which one was sharpened in PS, as the image was already labelled with "v1". As I often process and save multiple (one I just finished had up to "v9") variations I wanted to make sure the sharpened one was clearly associated to the "v1" image.

I just couldn't understand why PWP would then suggest renaming subsequent variations that I processed in PWP, by adding "v1 v1 v1" or "v1 v1" rather than just "v1". Was just wondering if PWP became confused somehow with the addition of "sh" after "v1" when I saved in PS.

No big deal, I was just curious.

Fixed for next release.
