Change image name

Can I change the name of an image after it has been added to a presentation?

harvey,
The image name (its filename) is set outside of Keynote and cannot be changed within Keynote.
To change the image name, you need to edit the name in Finder or iPhoto or other source and then place it in Keynote.

Change default image names

I'm not finding much regarding the new iOS with this question. We have the need to change the default photo name to date and time stamps on the iPhone 4S.. using the lates iOS... is this possible?
I'm not seeing any way to change image names at all on the phone.
Thanks.
Jill

Click on the image and then do Command+I (Get Information). Where it says 'Open with Preview', change it in the drop-down menu to 'Photoshop' and underneath than click on the button 'Change All'. All images of that type will now open in Photoshop.

Change the name of an image file in Photos app

Just wondering how you change the name of an image file in the new 2015 Photos app?

The only way to change the filename of an image is to export the image with a new filename: When exporting you can select the title a s a new filename.
Then reimport the renamed file to Photos and delete the original version.

Align title in bridge web gallery, change font of image names.

I have a web gallery that was created in Adobe Bridge (slide show template). I have most of the customization done that I want.... except for 2 issues:
1. I would like the gallery title to be right aligned rather than the default left. I have, in the past accomplished this... but for the life of me, I can't figure out how I did it now! Any help would be appreciated.
2. I have given the images names.... how do I change the font color of these image names that appear?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

I haven't used the Bridge galley, but my first guess would be dig into the gallery's CSS. It's either in a CSS doc or in the head of the gallery pages, but it's sure to be in CSS somewhere. This would be for colors and font anyway,,, I don't know if Bridge formats wilt CSS or tables, you just have to open the documents in Dreamweaver to see.

Changing image file names

hi all.
can anyone help me find a thread (can i run a search somehow in ("Your Stuff"?) where folks were kind enough to help me understand how to change file names?
i am reading through some help documentation on Batch Change but i am trying to remember what i should be doing to most efficiently solve my problem.
basically i have images in aperture which have non-sensical names related to their originally existing in a pc folder organization originally and i would like to both rename them in aperture but also be able to have them EXPORTED to my desktop so i can upload them to the web with some reasonable sounding title such as "client1-town1-HousingType-FirmName-photographer.png" or something similar. right now the images i want to publish are ORGANIZED IN ALBUMS and have names like "folio_construction_other_turtle_134543.png"
i think i WOULD LIKE to change the name of the master but i am not totally sure about this and when i run a Metadata > Batch Change and pull down version name i get selections that i do not fully understand.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yvu1u7eskbmhcik/Screen%20Shot%202012-12-03%20at%201.58 .46%20PM.png
i /am/ familiar with a handle little tool called Name Mangler which basically allows me to easily delete all the PREFIX information (such as "folio_construction_other_turtle" and then to pre-pend something like "client1-town1-HousingType-FirmName-photographer" in front of the image number which would be ideal...
apologies for asking this again but until i get through it once i am finding it all a bit tricky.
THANKS

Hi Leonie.
Thank you so much. I am going to be doing a lot of this and just so i understand:
Delete the images you exported and renamed from your Aperture library before reimporting, to avoid creating duplicates. When deleting from the album that you used to export, use the command "delete version", not "delete from album". Do not delete the projects that the images came from, only the images.
Can you help me understand which images i am deleting? I mean, is there a way to delete just the images in the ALBUM because if i have to go in and delete the images from a Project there are going to be a lot more images in the Project and it is going to be very hard to tell which images have been renamed and which have not been renamed. If i have to do this by deleting the images in the Project, i suppose i could use one of your suggestions to color all the images in an ALBUM, say yellow, and then see where the images show up in Projects but even then i think it will be a bit tricky. Are you saying i can just delete the images in the ALBUM by doing "Delete Version"?
Use "File > import" to reimport your image files. I'd put all images that shall be imported into the same project into one folder, and then import each folder on its own.
OK. So - well - so now i am importing all of the images that i originally had in the Database and they are /basically/ (i moved the folder organization around a little bit while the images were on my desktop in this first attempt...) - they are basically getting IMPORTED into Aperture now with the "new" images coming into the database into a new Project that is named according to the Album that they were in?
This is a little tricky for me. Will the old Albums still exist? What if i had more than one Album with an image in it. Also, this "new" image will be in a /new/ Project but will it still be in the OLD PROJECT with the old name? Or, i guess i am getting a little confused as to how this will work.
Select the project in the Library Inspector, that you want to import the folder of images into, then set the "Destination" in "Import settings > Aperture Library" brick to this project and set "Store Files" to "In the Aperture Library".
OK. I can try this here soon. What does Store Files in the Aperture Library do? I guess these images are getting imported as if they are new and they are getting imported with no external references?
Set "Rename files" to "None" or "version name". Both will keep the name you edited.
OK. Not sure i totally understand but i can try this as well. I guess this is making sure Aperture will keep the original names.
THANKS

Change image property changes member name

Hello. I know that surely this is answered already. But can
you tell me why if I change the image or picture property of a cast
member it also changes the member's name? The thing is that I take
the images from a valentina database and I put the on a list. Then
I assign the image to a "joker" cast member. But as soon as I
cahnge the cast member image it also changes the name of it and I
can't refer to it anymore
Thanks a lot

I get sdome images to a lingo list with getImage valentina
function. then I do
member("joker").image = imagelist[1]
and the name of the member changes to the filename of the
image in imagelist[1].
If I do the same with picture property there is no problem
and the image pereserves its name. So I guess I will use the
picture property ans getPicture function
johnAq's approach also works. I also agree that there is a
mistake to my code(lingo specific) , maybe references or something
but I don't know what is exactly.
thanks a lot

My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
Thanks

Many thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

Change image default name

Hello!
Since this week, when I recieve an image via whatsapp, it appears with a different name than before.
Before, it showed a number and the date the image was sent (IMG000+date), and now it has the name of another pic+numbers (aaa+number).
I tried to find if this question was asked before, but I couldn't find a similar topic.
My device is a BlackBerry curve 8520. Can someone help me to change the default name of the images again, please?
Thanks!! (And sorry if I made a grammatical mistake or something!)

Hi there,
I think thats not what he asked, as I have the same problem with the default picture names taken with the camera phone.
Is there anyway to change the default picture name? It's a pain changing the name of every picture you take, so would be better if you could setup your phone to name the pictures something like IMGXXX instead of the ridiculous format that is given by default in the 8900 IMGXXXXX-YYYYMMDD-HHMM
As for the shutter noise from the camera, Im afraid you need to use third party apps, check this link:

Any help would be appreciated

How can I Change Asset names for swapped images in duplicated symbols?

I have what seems to be a bug in edge animate cc2014 in following circumstances:
1. Duplicate a symbol
2. Drag duplicate symbol onto stage.4
3. Rename symbol
4. Click to edit symbol
5. Select an image inside the symbol
6. In properties panel change path to swap the image to be used in this instance of the duplicated symbol ( I need to reuse this symbol many times and not being able to change asset names is a real problem!).
7. The names for the asset in both the timeline and the elements were auto generated at the time of duplication when try to change the names they revert back to the auto generated names.
How can I overcome this problem which is clearly a bug or a poorly thought through bit of programming by an otherwise highly competent adobe edge animate tesm
Thank in advance
David.

Again, incorrect. It's not about how I can address a specific symbol with code - no problems there - it's what the composition loads into the symbol. Try it with some complex component or sub- symbols.
Work-Around for using Duplicated and Revised symbols (symbol variants) in the SAME document. Solution.
Tedious, but easy. Low risk. Edge Animate 2014.1.1
When you duplicate a symbol comprised of symbols itself ("sub-symbols"), only the outermost symbol gets a unique name, not it's component inner symbols. Upon import of additional variants, a unique name is created in the Library/Symbols panel for the inner symbols, yet the references in the outer symbol can't update to use those unique inner-symbol names. Therefore, the composition loads the symbol with the matching name. This will be the first variant to be imported.
Make the Duplicate
Duplicate the symbol in the Library/Symbol Panel. Rename. Export.
Prepping the Symbol
Open a new document, import and place the new symbol.
Select the asset to be switched/replaced. Make the switch in the property panel. Properties/Images/Swap button. (I revised my base or source symbol to have different colored background images. This is how I created 4 color variants.)
Save the new document, of course. "Example1.an"
Export the revised symbol from the Library/Symbol Panel for safe keeping.
Return to Example1.an
Elements Panel: Work through the nested symbols, adding a preceding identifier to all symbols in the heirarchy.
*KEEP IT SIMPLE so you can easily and quickly move through the .js files in the following steps.*
Save Example1.an.
Library/Symbols Panel: Go down the list, renaming all the symbols with the same preceding identifier as was used in the Elements Panel. *I advise to stay parallel with the Elements panel. Change as little as possible.*
Disregard any odd appearance you may see on the stage for now.
Save Example1.an
Revising the Code
In Edge Code, also part of the Creative Cloud suite, or any code editor, open the two .js files for "Example1.an." found in the same folder...Edge.js and ...EdgeActions.js
...Edge.js
find "symbolName" - prepend with the identifier whatever is not already prepended.
at the same time, look for "id" nearby - prepend with the identifier whatever is not already prepended.
Save
...EdgeActions.js
First read the grey comments about not degrading the //Edge Comments.
Search the document for "//Edge symbol" - prepend whatever is not already prepended.
Carefully check all the orange text, prepending the symbol names you find. This same code can be seen in your Code Panel with the "Full Code" button.
Save
Return to Edge Animate
When prompted to Reload, say yes.
Save Example1.an
EXPORT your new top level symbol - now a fully separated asset.Now you have created a fully unique symbol, which can be used in conjunction with other variants in the same document.
Import your new, unique symbol variant it into your real document.
This is the solution if your Symptoms are:
I duplicated symbols to make different variations, but now I can't use the duplicated symbol variants together.
When I try to swap images in a duplicated symbol, it succeeds when used alone, but reverts when used with the original symbol.
My duplicated symbol works properly alone, but not when it is used with the original symbol.
My symbol seems to revert to the original source symbol.

Unable to change file name in Metadata pane - Lightroom 2

I can't seem to activate the file name area in the Metadata pane in the Library module. It is solid gray and I cannot make the area active. With the correct folder active, the files seem to be normal in all visible ways, but the ability to change the name is not available. This is true in Grid or Loupe views. It is true with only one Active image. Any thoughts?

Are the images on-line? Though that shouldn't make a difference. You should still get a non-grayed out filename and get a warning dialog, instead if you try to set a name change.

How do I change the name of a photo in Photos for OS X?

In Aperture and iPhoto there was a simple batch change function, which even allowed me to change the name of the original file, and add an index number to the end of the name if I wanted to use the same name for multiple images. I can't find the equivalent in Photos. Is it possible in a simple and easy fashion?

Right click it, go to Properties and then change it there.

CS5 changes file name on command+save from photoshop to Lightroom

Recently CS5 changes the names of my files to "untiteld" when I press "command + S" that have been exported from LR3. This doesn't happen to files opened directly from their original folder.
I can save them to a different location using "command +shift+ S" and the original name stays intact.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks
Greg Eddinger

No problem. Waiting for a video rendering and upload to finish ;-)
If it is fixed in another account than it is highly likely that a develop preset or default gets applied to your images. This happens quite easily and has happened to me unknowingly too. Basically you would by accident have hit the Reset button in Develop while the option key was pressed. What you want to do is to go into Preferences->Presets and hit the button that says "Reset all default Develop settings". Then hit reset on your image. If none of that works, you can always trash the Lightroom preferences file. Quit out of Lightroom, go to the Finder. Hit command-Shift-G. Type ~/Library/Preferences/ in the display that you get to reveal the hidden by default preferences folder in your home account. Find the file that is called com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist (you might not see the plist extension on your computer) and drag that to the trash. Now start Lightroom again and your Lightroom should behave as if you just installed it. You might have to point it to your catalog file if it doesn't open with it there but with an empty catalog. File->Open Catalog-> select your main catalog.

Automator - Change Image Type - Multiple page PDF- TIFF conversion

I was able to do this on a friend's computer (not sure which version of OS X they were running), but this seems impossible on Snow Leopard.
I need to convert hundreds of multiple page PDFs to TIFFs. I can't get this to work, and the Change Image Type option only lists single page PDF conversion. I could separate PDFs into multiple files, convert to TIFFs, but then I don't know how to recombine a bunch of TIFF pages into a larger file. From google searches, I know this is possible using tiffutil, but I don't really understand how to use that well, and I really need an automatic process.
I'm at my wits end with this, because I did it just last week on someone else's computer and it was easy as pie. Why can't you convert multiple page PDFs in Snow Leopard?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just tried this - two problems.
It creates a separate tiff document for each page of the input pdf.
Also, this action is just annoying because it results in randomly named files in some temp folder that i can only locate using the reveal finder item action. I know I can rename files in automator, but I'd really like to have the output file have the same name as the input file.
It confuses me why they would remove this functionality in Snow Leopard.

OK to change Volume name in Finder?

(First: Please correct me if I'm referring wrongly to "Volume." From the image I do know the DEVICE is "Chuck Mtn Lion MBP." I intend to refer to the name that appears in the Finder, the one that typically starts as "Macintosh HD.")
Simple question: Is renaming the volume as simple and safe as it appears evidently in the image? Just like renaming a document?
Context, if necessary:
My new MBP 13" was stolen. Fortunately, I'd already made a fully bootable 1TB backup, so I just installed it into my old ('08) MBP 15". It works perfectly. BUT its name shows up as "OWC 1TB MBP13"—the sort of name I give to my external bootables. I'd much rather have the Volume named something like MACPRO.
I haven't yet reestablished my backup regimen in Carbon Copy; I do understand that changing this name would undo all those tasks, so I want to get this name right BEFORE creating them anew. Does this bring up anything else I need to consider?
Thanks.

Hmmm—I spoke too soon. Task not completed. Unexpected error -8076. Not finding anything specific on that one.

Changing the name of time machine

Okay this is a preemptive, I have an external with three partitions, 1 is for bulk files that won't fit on my Laptop, 1 is for a backup of my PS3, 1 is for my Time Machine. I was wondering if I could change the name of my Time Machine drive as the one I have is not clear and I don't want my girlfriend to mess things up. I suspect that just changing it will mess the whole Time Machine process up so is there either a work around to confuse it that the old saves were indeed on the drive with the new name? I know the sparsebundle file is finicky, of course cause its a backup.
I wanted to ask before I did anything.
I have read this but not sure if I need to go down a similar route http://www.hardmac.com/blog/2008/05/29/how-i-saved-my-corrupted-time-machine-spa rsebundle-image
Thanks in advance

If you're backing-up to a directly-attached, partitioned HD, all you have to do is change the name of the TM partition (not the drive itself).
Open a Finder window. If the partition doesn't show in it's sidebar, click Finder > Preferences > Sidebar in the menubar, then check the box to make external drives appear.
Back to the Finder window, control-click (right-click) the partition name and select the Rename option. This is one of the very few things you can rename that will not confuse TM. The new name will appear automatically in TM Preferences, for example, and backups will continue in the normal fashion.
