When you first run Corel AfterShot Pro, it will ask where to store your Corel AfterShot Pro Settings Folder and a Corel AfterShot Pro Catalog Location. The Corel AfterShot Pro Settings Folder contains settings, saved presets, cached data about images and folders, and other preferences and options needed to run Corel AfterShot Pro. The default location for the Corel AfterShot Pro Settings Folder is different on various operating systems, so check the details below for the system you are running. Within the Settings Folder are sub-folders that contain batches and presets, which are stored as plain text files. You may copy these batches and presets from one computer to another to share these across multiple work locations (like your notebook and your studio) or with friends or colleagues.
The Corel AfterShot Pro Catalog Location is where new Corel AfterShot Pro catalogs are stored. Corel AfterShot Pro catalogs are only used if you import images into a catalog. For information about importing, see Importing images. If you do use catalogs in Corel AfterShot Pro, this folder can grow quite large, and is accessed frequently, so choose a folder on a fast, locally-attached disk with plenty of free space for best performance. You can create new catalogs in other locations, so not all catalogs need to be on the same disk.
