Naming scanned files

Hello Everyone,
As far as I can tell (I haven't had PSE long) when files are scanned, they are given the name Image 1,2,3....
Is it possible to supply a name eg. "2007 Holiday" and then have the images numbered automatically sequentially?
Thanks
Jim

Hi again,
That sounds fine and will do the job when the files are displayed in the desired order in the Organiser.
It doesn't appear to be possible to alter the display order other than defined by date/time/name/folder location.
It would be handy to be able to shuffle the images around in Organiser and then rename so that they can be retrieved in that order.
Thanks for advice - Im busy scanning old family photos into my PC for the purposes of creating a Photo Database and I must say PSE 5 is brilliant for the job.!
Regards
Jim

Identifying the scan file for the Laserjet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw on a MacBookPro

In order to scan to a file on my Laserjet Pro 200 Color MFP M276nw, I need to register a file on my MacBookPro that the scan file can be sent. The Mac is using Mac OS 10.10 which is claimed to be supported by HP. But, I am unable to provide the registration information so that the scan file can be sent to the Mac. Can someone help me with this problem?

'Save Scanned File As' dialog box causing problems

A lot of our users just upgraded to Adobe Std 8 from Adobe Std 7. With Adobe Std 8, the 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box comes up even before the document gets scanned (this was not the case with Adobe Std 7). How do you get rid of the dialog box? This is causing us a lot of problems because our Adobe is integrated with a document management program called DM5. With Adobe Standard 8 our users cannot save directly to DM5.Because the
#Save Scanned File As# dialog box comes up first, now they have to tell Adobe to save it first somewhere other than DM, after the document
gets scanned they save the document again to DM then they go back and delete the document that they saved in the other location. Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box. If you hit CANCEL, the document does not get scanned so users really do not have a choice but to save the document twice. As I said earlier, this was not the case with Adobe Std 7.

Is there any file carver technology tool to recover from a HDD only a group of named jpg files

Is there any file carver technology tool to recover from a HDD only a group of named jpg files that i lost? I lost 500 jpg files in my iPhoto library named i.e from 1.jpg to 500.jpg and I want to recover ONLY them from an 1TB external WD My Book e-sata disk, to avoid time waste and unwanted jpg files.
I' ve used data recovery software as Photorec, but it recovers all the jpgs it can find, it can't search for specific name files and as it uses its own naming for the files it recovers, i have thousands of photos to look up and find these i really want.Not to mention so much waiting time.
Even if you know other technology tool that can help me please tell me.
I've also used StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery that is not file carving tool, but with similar results.

Prosoft Data Rescue may be what you need. Others may work that way, that are described here:
My data has become inaccessible, and I don't have a backup!

Are you having trouble signing in to your subscription, or having trouble converting files once you're signed in. If you can't sign in, it could be that your subscription just hasn't finished processing yet. Please let us know if you're unable to sign in and we'll go from there.

Naming R3d Files in Premier + Timeline Settings for 4K plus archival HD and SD footage

We recently made the switch over to Premier and are beginning post on our first 4k 16x9 project. Very exciting to be editing with the raw r3d files, our one concern is that naming the files (it is a feature doc with a lot of footage) in premier will break the link to the orginal file once we export via xml to resolve for the online as well as to go back to color correct in Red CineX. Is this correct or comepletely misguided. My gut says that naming the files in premier is just adding to the metadata associated with the clip and the export should be fine. Can you please set me straight?
We are also going to be adding archival footage from 1080 to SD with varied frame rates. The bulk of the footage is shot at 4k 16x9 at 23.98. What would you recommend our timeline setting be set at? Ultimately we will be exporting at 1080, but ideally want to keep the timeline as high res as possible for future export at higher resolutions.
Thank you for your help and guidance!
Best,

I'm afraid there probably isn't a good way to scale SD to 4K...
unless it originated on film and you can go back to transfer.
Magic Bullet Instant HD works pretty well upscaling SD to HD.
when you say renamiong can "sometimes make tracing the original media file on disk more difficult"
I am referring to file management on disk as it relates to the Project.
For example if you load all of your media and change the file names,
then discover that there is something quirky with a particular file... it will
make it more difficult to trace on disk for evaluation.
It will not affect the media reference in .xml export at all.

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.

Quick for timestamp when naming a file in save dialog?

I would like to be able to add a timestamp when naming a file in the save dialog. The reason is that it will give me a quick way to name a file when the rest of the file name I have entered might conflict with a file of the same name.
Is there a quick key combo that would does this?
Thanks.
Matt

Mac-with Leopard-Adobe Reader 8.1 will not open previously scanned files

Have a Intel Mac and use Leopard.
When using Reader 7.1 previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened. Upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1
Now, on a number of them, the icon is black, and when I attempt to open them I get the
following message..for say a scanned recipe..
"Adobe Reader could not open "Won Ton Soup" because it is either not a supported file or
because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and
wasn't correctly decoded)."
Tried latest version of Adobe Reader..no luck.
Suggestions ? Thanks.

>previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened.
Were they actually PDF's?
If not, it could be that you had Acrobat instead of Reader before.

How do you save a jepeg scanned file to email it?

I scanned a document and the mac saved it as a jpeg file in photosmart utility (colorsync utility?). I could not email it as an attachment, and I could not save it as a different type of file. I could not copy the file to paste it as a word document. How do you save a jpeg scanned file to email it?

I scanned the document on an hp injet printer and it was all automatically done by the laptop. I didn't use image capture, that I know of. I don't know what that is, or how to utilize it to scan the pages. I scanned about 10 pages and they went into a folder called scanner output. I was able to attach that to the email, but then the email could not be sent. The email tries to send it, then after about 7-8 minutes I get a message that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered."

Destination Folder Of Scanned Files

I just bought an Envy 4500 printer/scanner.
When I scan a document or image, either as a photo, or a PDF file, the resulting file is saved under the generic name "Scan000X"(Where X is some number) in my Documents folder.
Is there a way to (1) specify the file name and (2) configure the destination folders of scanned files so that I won't have to do those things manually for every scan I do?
Thanks.

Hi @Pikadon,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are wondering if there is a way to (1) specify the file name and (2) configure the destination folders of scanned files so that I won't have to do those things manually for every scan you do. With your HP Envy 4500 on Windows Vista. I am happy to help you with these questions!
1) To specify the file name, you will need to open the HP Scan application on your Windows Vista computer, look for Advance Settings (on the right hand side, above Restore Defaults.) Select the Destination tab at the top. Once selected you can change the Base File Name, and 2) You can choose where to store the scanned files in the same window.
To open HP Scan, select the Start Menu bottom left hand corner, go to All Programs/Programs, Look for he HP folder, look for the folder for your printer, then select HP Scan.
Please see the image below:
Hope this answers your questions, and have a great day!

How do I combine scanned files?

Unfortunately I am scanning hundreds of pages that are one file. Often it pulls in more than one page meaning I have to rescan and it starts a new file. I'd like to combine these pages in order but haven't determined how to do that yet. Hopefully someone here can help me. Is there a way to edit scanned files and/or add new pages or paste them from another file? Without paying for another program if possible. I'd appreciate your help, thanks, Ma

Not possible with Adobe Reader. You can combine files with Adobe Acrobat.
