What problem do you see this solving?

Client's have a hard time finding the Photo number to place an order.  Would be nice to have the photo number watermarked right on the proof so they can see it.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

All the time!!

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

I was told by Capture One Support that this is not possible and to make the suggestion here.

Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?

Yes!

  Hi Keith,

  You can already so this, using the "Image Name" token as a text watermark.

  Thank you David,

  Yes, I am aware of this option, but I want to avoid those long out of sync numbers from 2 cameras like, "_S1R39493, S1-49204, _S1R39502, etc,,,"   After culling the best images for my clients to pick from, I use the Digit counter to the front end to add a simple numbering system starting with "0001" and in numerical order.   While I'm aware I can still use the "Image Name" token, my image names are rather lengthy, i.e. "0001_S1R39502_Someone's Wedding_Copyright Keith Spurlock photography" and I really don't want a long watermark like that on the proofs, just a simple, "0001, 0002. 0003, etc..."  Can you think of a way to do this without having to rename all my digital files from each session?

  I love your Live Tutorials on YouTube David and have learned a lot from you, especially when I have the chance to watch live and ask questions!  You've always answered my inquiries!  Have a good day!
