By selecting this choice you’ll have your camera’s assigned number attached to your text name, so each file name is quite unique. Most of the metadata options are pretty useless, but the one you want, Image Unique ID, is terrific. In the adjacent window you’ll see the first Metadata choice appear, the Aperture Value, but note that there is a blue check mark for another drop-down menu. Click, and scroll the mouse down until you get to Metadata. Note, however, that there is a blue arrow next to all of these text boxes, and if you click on the arrow a drop-down menu appears. We’re doing this to separate the subject name from what will appear next, so click on the + button again and another Text box appears. Now, click on the + button, and a new Text box appears, and here type in an underscore line ( _ ). Clicking on a + box adds another Text field, while clicking on a – box takes that box away.Ĭaption: Clicking on the – button collapses that row.Ĭlick on all of the – boxes until you’re left with the top text field, and in the box type in the name of the subject. You’ll note that beside each text field there is a + and a – box. The big changes will occur in the New Filenames box, and here we want you to follow our directions exactly. For the Destination Folder field, stay with the default choice, Rename in same folder. Keep it simple, call it ‘Renaming Files.’ If you omit this step it is no big deal, as the Preset window will simply appear as Last Modified when you open this dialog box again. In the first field, Presets we’ll customize our renaming settings and save them by clicking Save and typing in a name for the new settings. Let’s look at the options available here. Regardless of how you get there, here’s what the Batch Rename dialog box looks like.Ĭaption: The default Batch Rename dialog box. You might find one more convenient than the other.

You can also get to the Batch Rename menu via a shortcut on the Bridge application bar, where there are a series of icons starting with a left-pointing arrow and ending with a folder-looking icon that represents the Output module.Ĭaption: The tool bar has a drop-down shortcut to batch rename, or you can go to Tools>Batch Rename. Click on it, and the Rename dialog box appears, but the options Adobe provides by Default are not the ones you want to use. The first item in that menu is Batch Rename. To rename the images, go to the Bridge Tool Bar and click Tools and a drop down menu appears. Let’s assume that you have all of your images of one subject selected.
