Photoshop :: File Names And Batching Actions
Jun 15, 2004
I'm using Photoshop and the Fit Image command to resize my images for a slide show program. The slide show software does not offer the ability to place the image number anywhere on the image. Is there someway to write an action in Photoshop that will grab the image name and place it where I designate on the image? Even stretching the canvas and filling with black and placing the name there would work. I'm not sure if this is possible or if I need to find an Apple Script to do this.

I am trying to make an Action that will apply a set of various (yet specific) changes to an image, and then apply that Action to an entire folder of images. I have created the action and when run manually it work great, but when I apply it to Automate - Batch, there is a "bug".
Currently, the Action will take the image and set the layer to BG, then it will save the original to a folder. It then will resize the image to a set width maintaining aspect ratio, save that to another folder.
This all works great.
The last portion of the Action reduces the file to yet another width (maintaining aspect ratio), but it then applies a 1px stroke, and applies a dropshadow, at 120 degrees and 100 opacity. When I run the action on an individual image, this part works great, however when I batch this in a folder, all of the images get the dropshadow with a 30 degree shadow. Everything else works fine. The default settings for a shadow are 120 degrees, so I cannot figure out where this 30 Degree setting is coming from.
Any help would be appreciated. I dont know if anyone will be able to read my action, but I will try to attach.

I accidentally included a file rename when I just imported a batch of several hundred pictures. I violated a rule that I teach my own Lightroom students, and that is to look carefully at the import panel choices before proceeding.
Â
How can I correct this so that the files are named as they originally were? I know how to easily fix the filenames in Windows (using a tool called BulkRename, for example), but then I'd have to "find" each image one-by-one and correctly point to the renamed version. I tried selecting all the images and then using F2 to rename, but none of the templates allow deleting a portion of the filename.
Â
P.S. Here is an example of what I mean:
Â
ON CARD:
IMG_0001.NEF
...
IMG_0300.NEF
Â
WHAT I RENAMED TO ACCIDENTALLY:
IMG_0001 {shot by John Doe}.NEF
...
IMG_0300 {shot by John Doe}.NEF

For a large project our organization is busy with, we are going to need to work with several sizes of icons, and the icons' names will need to be generated programatically by the back-end of our our system.
Â
The icons are going to be in these sizes:
Â
512 x 512256 x 256128 x 12864 x 6432 x 3224 x 2416 x 16
Â
I want to create a resize action will generate icons in the proper size with unique names.
Â
For example:
Â
images/icon-512-size-king.png
images/icon-256-size-king.png
images/icon-128-size-king.png
images/icon-64-size-king.png
images/icon-32-size-king.png
images/icon-24-size-king.png
images/icon-16-size-king.png
Â
The resizing part is simple - it's the naming that I'm not sure about!

Is it possible in Lightroom to automatically append/prepend directory names in the file path into the file name itself? Example:
Â
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB filename.jpg (original file name)
Â
==>Â
Â
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB DirectoryA_Sub-directoryB_filename.jpg (concatenated new file name)
Â
If this is not natively possible within Lightroom, any plug-in that delivers this functionality?

I can no longer change the name of raw files when saving as JPEG. Software will convert to JPEG but only with the same file name. Previously saved files work fine.

i'm currently working on a new website with a friend, we are using Dropout to share the files, he's the coder, and i design. Im using a pc at the moment, and he's on a Mac, when i save my files, they are saved with capital letters, and to upload it in dreamweaver on a Mac they cant have capital letters. So my question is, is it possible to change the file name to .jpg instead of .JPG? And how do i do it?

First off, I don't mind the save as a copy feature. If I have a psd file with layers and smart objects and such, and I Save As > JPG, I don't want the jpg open, I want the psd open. I like how PS does that behavior, but I don't like how that jpg gets " copy" added to it's file name. Yes it's easy to remove, but I'm using a batch action on over 300 pictures, I don't feel like renaming 300 jpg's. Yes it's supposed to be a safety net, but I basically never work from jpg's as original's, and if for some reason I do, I set them as read only and copy the files off to a safe location, so I don't need it.
Â
I know it's possible because my old school's computers with Photoshop CS5 never saved jpg's with copy in the file name. So, how do I stop PS CS5 from adding copy to my file names? Because I need Photoshop to not add copy to my file names on my work computer.

I have briefly used 3 versions of Photo Elements (9, 10 and11) and have experienced the same problem in all 3. Scanned images are labeled Image1.jpg, Image2-###.jpg, Image3-###.jpg and Image4-###.jpg. As you noticed, the first scanned image is ALWAYS NAMED IMAGE1.jpg.
Â
Because this is happening on every scan, Elements is giving me the message that the first scanned image in each subsequent scan is already in the catalog (as Image1.jpg). All the remaining images in the scan are sequenced without any problem.
Â
It appears as though Elements places all scanned photos into a temp location under AppData and then enters them into the catalog after the scan is complete. The file names in this temp folder are Image1, Image2, Image3, Image4. Image2-4 have their filenames changed, but Image1 doesn't.
Â
The easiest way I have found to fix this is to rename Image1.jpg after each scan. I have looked around Elements and have no user available procedures to fix this.I am using an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner with Epson Scan software 3.83.
Â
I am running Elements 11.

I just installed Photoshop Elements 11 for MAC and the option to change file names is grayed out. ( I am able to change the folder names.). In previous versions of PSE that I had on my PC I was always able to change the photo/file names to the shot dates. How can I accomplish this in PSE 11 for MAC?

When saving tiff files in CS4, how can I have file names automatically created with ".tif" extension. Currently they are saved as non specific file types unless I include, or later add, ".tif" every time.

I include a save as in action. I have to choose somewhere to save as right? So choose desktop. Only problem is that even though I tell photoshop in BATCH a new folder I want to save in, it still saves the whole batch job to desktop?

I recently started an event photography company. The problem that I have is the large volume of pictures I need to adjust at the same time. Doing it one by one is really time consuming. In a nut shell: I need to but the name of the event on each picture as well as a color frame. Is there some kind of automation I can use?
I'm using CS3,

No matter what I do, the file extension names (i.e. jpg) show up in the contact sheet. eliminate them? I'm creating a grid for a gallery show and having the filename extensions added to the title of each image is cheesy.

After taking a large batch of pictures, I want to place them in a folder and rapidly view the full images one at a time to select which to keep and which to discard. IN PE-8 how can I display two panes - one pane containing the image file names contained in a folder and the other pane which displays the image of the file name selected? Using the arrow keys, I want to move through image file names one at a time while displaying the image associated with the file name in the other pane.

I have many slides, scanned over the past 10 years, with duplicate file names and filed by date. I converted my Elements 9 from PC to iMac and many incorrect connections occured. Is there a way I can correct these connection errors? This problem involves about 5% of my 25,000 photo files.Â

I'm in the process of creating 3D points (as an overlay) on some laser scanned data (using RiScan, it's just 3d dimensional data, with a northing, easting and RL) and unfortunately the only export option is to export to .dxf... Which is fine but when I export, the information has the point ID as the layer name.
I am aiming at getting this data into another program to analyse and it needs the point ID or name to be my annotation, as opposed to the layer.
So what I need is a way of converting the names of each individual points layer, to the point ID.

Each time I batch process thumbnails in CS6 v13.1.2x64 I've noticed that the resulting thumbnails do not match the sequence of the original photos the thumbs are batched from.
Â
Is this a fault with CS6 or a lack of communication between my Nikon, Mac and Adobe?
Â
The original full sized photos are JPEG fresh out of the camera and havent been preprocessed. I will add that if I do apply batch filter to the full size photos, they too are pushed out of their original numerical sequence.

I have a brush set to do this but it is VERY time consuming. So, I need to find out how to design a copyright notice and then batch stamp it onto a folder of photos. I have tried and tired to figure this out but not getting anywhere. I am going to either to one across the middle very opaque or I want it down the side of the photo. Then I want to save the batch into a new file and keep the originals intact for printing, etc. I am using PhotoShop CS.

if it is possible to set a batch command that will only process tiff files that also have .fff's and .jpg's within the same folder.
I have 2500 images in 125 subfolders with all three formats in each folder. I know I can batch all the sub folders, but can I specify only one type of file?
