Naming
Your image’s filename can be modified in different ways. You can add prefix, suffix to your original filename, change the base and choose your letters to be upper-case or lower-case.
Prefixes, suffixes and base can be modified in the following ways:

If you select this option under Prefix and Suffix, there will be no prefix or suffix added to your filename. This option can’t be selected under base and is replaced by ‘Filename’ option. If you select ‘Filename’ under base and ‘None’ under Prefix and Suffix, your filename won’t be modified.
FILE NAME
- If you select FILENAME under Prefix, the prefix identical to your file name will be added.
- If you select FILENAME under Suffix, the suffix identical to your file name will be added.
e.g. I modify an image named ‘London.jpeg’ and select Prefix > Filename. The exported image name will be ‘London_London.jpeg’. If I also select Suffix > Filename, the image will be saved as ‘London_London_London.jpeg’.
