Organization Strategies
File Organization
Create a consistent folder structure:

/originals # Source images
/processed # AI-processed images
/finals # Approved final versions
/descriptions # Generated text contentNaming Conventions
Use descriptive, searchable file names:
[product-id]_[product-name]_[variant]_[type]_[version].[ext]Examples:
SKU001_leather-wallet_brown_main_v1.pngSKU001_leather-wallet_brown_lifestyle_v2.jpgSKU001_leather-wallet_description_final.txt
Version Control
Always keep your original source files. Never overwrite originals with processed versions.
- v1, v2, v3 - Use version numbers for iterations
- draft/final - Mark status in filename
- date stamps - Add dates for time-sensitive content (YYYYMMDD format)
Batch Processing
When to Batch
Batch processing is ideal when you have:
- Multiple similar products
- Consistent image requirements
- Standardized description formats
- Same quality settings
Batch Processing Tips
