File names for image series
Huygens uses numeric suffixes in file names to identify the elements in a series. If you have a number at the end of the name you give when saving a series, it will be removed and replaced by the necessary indexes, to identify planes in a stack or channels in a Multi Channel image.
For example, if you save a three channel image as a 16 bit TIFF, even if you pack all the planes in a single file, a series will be created to store the channels. If you try to call the image
experiment_2.tif
the last part will be discarded and replaced with the indexes of the channels, following the Leica Tiff convention:
experiment_ch00.tif
experiment_ch01.tif
experiment_ch02.tif
The solution is to append, after the numbers that identify your experiment, some extra
non-numeric text, like
experiment_2_files.tif
That should be enough to get enumerated files like in
experiment_2_files_ch00.tif
experiment_2_files_ch01.tif
experiment_2_files_ch02.tif
that preserves your original name while combining it with the necessary indexes.
