Can I give the colored labels names?

Post by Kneops »

Now it's just red, yellow etc. but I would like to give them names like 'Published' or 'Sold', just like the color markers inside an email client.

AfterShot Pro is customizable if anything but this is one thing no one has been able to figure a fix for.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully someone from the ASP crew can answer this, or take it into their to-do list.

Some programs allow for this. I stopped doing it because it causes issues. Let's suppose you rename "Red" to "XXX". Then "XXX" gets written into the file's XMP metadata instead of "Red". I.e. this is not just a presentational thing - if affects what gets written to the metadata. For this to be correctly interpreted by all programs you use then you'll need to make this change in them all. If one program doesn't, e.g. ASP, then it won't recognise the label "XXX". I came to the conclusion that it's simpler to stick with the colours.

If there is one thing I won't do is changing things in the software ;), especially when it gets written into the meta data.
I will follow your advice and stick to the colors.

How about just allowing the end user to give each color name for a hoverover not actually changing it in the Metadata?

As others have already mentioned it does not appear you can do that in this software.
What I do is just keep a printed cheatsheet for the colors, example blue= landscape images, red = people, etc.
That way, if someone other than me wants to sort out images all they have to do is use my cheatsheet.
Not perfect but it works.
