"Album" token creation

I sometimes work with (smart) albums.

Lately they have been useful to classifiy and separate versions of settings on series of portraits. I even share them with Live then.

For example: 35 portraits, each one is located in a favourite folder belonging to each person shot (helps with the general order and naming), I gather the selection on an album. Then I share V1 with Live. Client asks for slight changes and here starts a mess if you are not organized.

So you create variants, but after 2-3 variants this album becomes messy and one could get mixed up with what is what, on 35 pics.

So I create a new album with each generation of variants, and name it after the settings modification (like "Context Portraits · saturation -5").


Here comes the export. I can obviously specifiy in the subfolder line of the cross recipe tokens the album's name. But wouldn't that be ideal to simply put an "Album" token instead? And that would allow multiple albums to be exported in a row.

Current workaround

specifiy in the subfolder line of the cross recipe tokens the album's name.

Subject to more errors.

    Hi Jeremy, the token "collection name" is probably what you are looking for. Collection is a term that regroups albums and smart albums.
