P: A way to alter the naming for Enhanced filename suffixes

@Sherry-port4u 

Have you considered that the original raw file very often is a DNG already? They can't have the same name.

Just another user that would like to be able to control LR's naming conventions.

I delete "Enhanced-NR" out of the DNG file name then take it into Photoshop to further edit. My workflow set to save it as a TIF after edits in Photoshop. I have LR set to add -sf to the end of the file name to show it is edited by me.  Then I delete the DNG file. That is the best I can do with it for now.

Hi everybody,

I have a question regarding the new (AI) optimizing functions for RAW files. As soon as you optimize a file (noise reduction, RAW-optimizing) LrC renames the new optimized DNG file in something like [filename]-Enhanced-NR. In my German UI this is [filename]-Verbessert-RR.

Is it possible to customize this automatic renaming of files? I didn't find an option in the setting dialogues. The rename dialogue in LrC can't do the job either, since the preserved file name of the original RAW file is replaced by the new file name in the enhanced DNG. I even searched the entire installation folders in Visaul Studio Code to find some Java that does this file renaming, but didn't succeed.

Is there anyone who knows, how you can manipulate/customize this process in order to have your own filename extension for optimized dng files? Only suggestions for the automatic renaming since I am familiar with all other options of chancing file names in the metadata by hand.

A file rename template can't do the job, since the preserved file name of the oroginal RAW file is gone after LrC has converted the optimized file into a dng file...

Since there is no search and replace function in LrC we will be renaming our optimized files by hand, I suppose.

Hi All,

I tried the new LR enhanced denoising, and it seems great but renames the file to something long and obnoxious ie, "enhanced something something'.  Is there a way to adjust what it renames these files like when you export to PS and save back into LR?  

thanks!

You are right @JohanElzenga 

I guess you could rename it twice if you used a rename preset before or after import.

First rename would be Preserved Filename and second rename would be the Rename Preset you used for before or after import.

Thanks John & Bob!  I was unaware of the "preserved filenamename" option.  I'll use it.  But I would still strongly prefer a set-once-and-forget-it option in preferences

That will work, but only if you did not rename the original photo on import.

Right after creating the Denoise the file is selected.  Just use a rename preset like this using Preserved Filename
