Try this (untested)
#!/bin/bash
cd /dir1
for i in *; do
if [ ! -f "/dir2/$i" ]; then
bn=${i%.*}
ext=${i##*.}
nn=${bn}_original.${ext}
mv -- "$i" "/dir2/$nn"
fi
done
For each file in dir1, say a-1.jpg, this look if a file with the same
name exists in dir2. If not, it moves it to dir2 with the new name of
a-1_original.jpg. I hope I got that right.
