2. Photo Naming • Photo names are the number on the sticker, followed by a dash and then either a 1 or 2. • 1 indicates “initial”; food prior to consumption • 2 indicates “final”; tray after child has eaten Photo Name: 191815-1 Photo Name: 191815-2

3. Photo Naming • Name the photo as the ID number indicated on the plate with a -1 or -2. • If a photo is duplicated indicate with a (2). Example: 12347675-2(2) • Once files are named, put them into one folder and they will automatically line up in order. • The Reference tray should be named “0-Reference Tray”. This places the tray at the top of the list.

5. Sorting Photos • Sort photos into 3 folders: • 1. Pairs • all photos that have both a before and an after picture • 2. Unmatched • Photos that are missing either a before or after picture • 3. Unidentifiable • Photos that have an ID number, but you cannot read it (too blurry or partially covered up). • Put in as much of the ID number as you can read with a “-” or “*” to fill in missing numbers

8. Before/After
