Batch Naming in Photoshop


I took about 60 photos, and used the Automate Rename batch. At first, it looked like it worked greatd. Later, I tried to open a photo from the viewfinder, and it turned into a file that Photoshop does not recognize. I hope somebody has an answer. Thanks!

  Iker,
Great Question! From your explanation, it looks like you may have renamed the images on your flash card using Photoshop, then re-inserted the images into your camera. Your digital camera probably doesn't recognize the naming convention you changed to, but don't worry! Your images are probably still intact on your flash card, and you should be able to load those images to your computer and view them in Bridge.
I've written an article on the Batch Rename function. Check it out at:

  Kevin the photos I rename, I did it in photoshop cs2. I used the automate feature, and at first they all came out great with the name changed, but when I tryed to access them again, photo shop did not recognize the file. Im confused.

  Iker,

If you changed the filename extention other than .tif, .psd, .jpg, .nef, .cr2 etc, which are standard extensions, Photoshop's Bridge will not recognize the files.

  Helicon Filter does a good job batch-renaming. Maybe it will work better.
