Synopsis

photohack options images tags options
This command displays the options set for one or more images, and sets/changes options for those images. The images that are operated on are selected by the given image IDs and tags. With no options provided, the options of selected images are displayed. If options are provided, they are added to or override the options of the selected images.

Description

The images are selected by image IDs and tags. Any images or tags that don’t make sense are ignored silently.

There are several types of options, which are described in more detail on the photohack options page. The generate command accepts the following types of options:

  • Image pipeline (%x and @y options)
  • RAW conversion
  • Cropping
  • Image processing
  • Output size and resolution

After updating options, they are displayed as confirmation. Each type of option has a special code for “clearing” options processed so far, as as -=- for RAW conversion options. In addition, most options can be cleared individually by providing the string “clear” as a value — see the examples below.
