| There is an option to preserve the ppi setting, by selecting Options > Preferences > Image Saving > "Copy metadata from source images to saved output images", before doing File > Save Output Image(s). This [[stacker:docs:faqlist?&#i_see_some_menu_items_labeled_pro_what_does_that_mean|Pro-only]] option will also save all other EXIF metadata such as camera & lens type, exposure settings, GPS location, and so on. Note that "Copy metadata..." is automatically selected by default when you are running the Lightroom plug-in, so if you're running the trial version with default settings, you may notice a difference between going through Lightroom and launching Zerene Stacker separately. | There is an option to preserve the ppi setting, by selecting Options > Preferences > Image Saving > "Copy metadata from source images to saved output images", before doing File > Save Output Image(s).

| + | ===== What exactly is a "project"? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the computer’s file system, each Zerene Stacker project consists of a folder that contains a ".zsj" file and several subfolders. The .zsj file is the master description for the project. You can look inside it with any text editor. Typical subfolders include "generatedimages", which contains output images in ".zsy" format; "previewimages", which contains cached screen preview images as low quality ".jpg"; "AdjustedSourceImages" if Save Adjusted Images has been used; and so on. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When using File > Open Project inside Zerene Stacker, the project may appear in a couple of different ways. Usually it appears as an ordinary folder, so to open the project you must navigate inside the project folder, select the .zsj file, and open that. However, if Options > Preferences > Look & Feel is set to //not// use "system native File Choosers", then File > Open Project will show the project folder as a single "yellow smiling dog" icon that can be selected and opened without navigating inside it. | ||
