Ansel is a non-destructive image editor and opens all images in read-only mode. Any data created within Ansel (metadata, tags, and image processing steps) is stored in separate .XMP sidecar files. These files are stored alongside the original Raw files and allow Ansel to store information about the images as well as the full editing history without touching the original raw files. When you import an image into Ansel for the first time, an XMP file is automatically generated. The generation of XMP files can be disabled in preferences > storage > xmp but this is not recommended in normal use.

When importing an image, Ansel automatically checks if it is accompanied by a sidecar file. As well as looking for files named <basename>.<extension>.xmp and <basename>_nn.<extension>.xmp (Ansel’s XMP file naming formats) Ansel also checks for the presence of a file in the form <basename>.xmp (the naming format for Lightroom’s XMP sidecar files). Files with the latter naming format will be read by Ansel but will not be written to. Once the image has been imported, Ansel will generate an additional XMP file using its own naming convention.

Muitos usuários possuem coleções de imagens imensas armazenadas em discos rígidos adicionais em seu computador pessoal ou em mídias de armazenamento externo (NAS RAID, discos rígidos externos etc).

It is a common requirement to develop a number of images while travelling using a laptop and then later synchronize them back to the original storage medium. However, copying images manually from the main storage to the laptop and back is cumbersome and prone to errors. The “local copies” feature of Ansel has been designed to directly support these use cases.

Each image in the current collection is represented by a thumbnail in the lighttable view and filmstrip module. A cache of the most recently used thumbnails is stored in a file on disk and loaded into memory at startup. The size of this cache can be adjusted in Preferences > Processing > CPU, GPU, Memory.

As classificações com estrelas e etiquetas de cor lhe auxiliam o ordenar e ranquear imagens de acordo com seu próprio critério. Uma classificação de estrelas e etiqueta de cor de uma imagem pode ser exibida sobre as miniaturas na vista de mesa de luz e no módulo de rolo de filme.

O agrupamento de imagens auxilia a melhorar a estrutura e clareza da sua coleção de imagens quando exibida no modo da mesa de luz.

You can combine images into a group by selecting them and using the global menu Image → Group images, or by pressing Ctrl+G. Likewise, you can remove selected images from a group by clicking the “ungroup” button, or pressing Ctrl+Shift+G.

Imagens duplicadas são automaticamente agrupadas. De maneira semelhante, se você importar várias imagens da mesma pasta, possuindo o mesmo nome base mas extensões diferentes (por exemplo IMG_1234.CR2 eIMG_1234.JPG), essas imagens formam automaticamente um grupo.

O Ansel permite que você armazene informações adicionais sobre suas imagens de modo a permitir que elas sejam mais facilmente pesquisadas e agrupadas. Estas informações são armazenadas na base de dados do Ansel e nos arquivos auxiliares XMP e podem também ser incluídas nas imagens exportadas.
