Changing the File Naming Structure

To change the file naming structure, click the Settings button.

In the settings modal, you can see the File Name Structure text box. The default file naming structure is {file}_{crop}:

The file name structure applies to all defined separate images (crops). You can manually override an individual crop's file name via the Advanced Editor.

You can customize the file naming structure to your preference. You are required to include {file} and {cropId}.

Placeholders:

  • {file} Represents the parent image filename without its extension, e.g., familyPhoto1989.

  • {cropId} Represents the crop's internal ID string, generated randomly and automatically.

If your file naming structure is set to epsonScan_{file}_photo_{crop}, the exported photos would be:

  • epsonScan_familyPhoto1989_photo_tmb5.jpg

  • epsonScan_familyPhoto1989_photo_af7x.jpg

  • epsonScan_familyPhoto1989_photo_o0dn.jpg

Feather Crops %

The Feather Crops % feature allows you to apply a scaler to grow or shrink all the crop areas when exporting. This is useful when your automatically detected images might have a slight residual border around their edges (like a white border if you are using a traditional flatbed scanner).

This percentage value is used internally when the Download All button is clicked and each individual crop area is used to create separate images.

  • Positive Percentage: Increases the size of the crop area by the specified percentage.

  • Negative Percentage: Decreases the size of the crop area by the specified percentage.

Notes:

  • Scaling About Center: The crop area scales uniformly around its center point.

  • Application: Useful for ensuring that cropped areas include a margin around the selected section for better visual quality, or to remove any borders.

Three example outputs using different Crop Export Feathering values on the same original crop, from shrinking -5%, to the default area or 0%, to a growth of 5% (left to right).
