Renaming photo's

HI,
Is there a way I can re-name photo's once uploaded to Iweb or do I have to do that before loading them into my site. I then upload onto the web via ftp
Please advise.
much appreciated.

You would have to rename them before adding to your site via iWeb.

Import and rename photos via Automator and ExifTool

Hiya,
Just finished my work on a Automator workflow in order to import and rename photos from a portable hard disk.
I had the problem that my portable hard disk (with integrated card-reader) was not recognised by Image Capture or Aperture. Therefore I couldn't import my photos straight away into Aperture.
Another problem I had was that Aperture doesn't rename photos while importing. Whereas other Automator actions offer this feature, they all didn't fulfill my requirements - yeah, I can be very fussy
That's why I started initially to write a Perl script based on ExifTool in order to copy and rename photos to my liking. Once this was done and very much in use, I started to put it into an Automator action with a little AppleScript around it.
Eventually, I initiated the entire Automator workflow with the Check For Disk action.
More information and the files needed can be found on my website http://photography.stephanjaeger.eu/2007/03/improve-your-digital-photography-wor kflow.html.
The only drawback of this script is that only one camera is supported. At the moment, I work on a solution to support several cameras.
The Perl script can used by itself, if you feel comfortable in using the Terminal.
I hope you find the information and the Automator action helpful.
Any feedback appreciated.
Best regards,

Brian,
Thanks for giving it a try. Let me know how you get on!
If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me.
By the way, you don't have to use an external hard disk. You could replace easily the first step in that workflow with an other action, such as defining a folder that should be monitored, or selecting manually a folder that contains photos.
I hope that I find some time over the week-end to make some changes to the script. I will set up as well a page on my web site with more details.
All the best,
Stephan

Microsoft word: rotate photos. Apple: rename photos

Hello, I am new to apple, and English...
I have two problems:
Microsoft word. I want to rotate a photo inserted in one of my word document, I can see the function "rotate" in the tool box but this is not working. When I click on the rotate option, every options appear in pale gray, and don't seem to be activated. Right click on the rotate function is also coming up with pale gray options....Is rotate photo not activated on my word or is it not possible to rotate a photo with apple on a word document?
Rename photos. I can rename one photo at a time, but I can't rename more than one at the same time??? if I select all the photos I want to rename, i can't find an option to rename all of the selected photos. I found the answer on the support web site for one photo only. Do you know if I can rename many photos at the same time or is it not possible with apple?
Any help would be very appreciated,
many thanks in advance,
Yannick

Rotate in MS Word 2008 works fine for me so it's possible your installation is corrupt. Below are the steps I used to rotate:
1. With the photo in the MS Word document ensure it's selected.
2. Open the Toolbox
3. Open the Formatting Palette
4. Towards the bottom of that palette locate Size, Rotation, and Ordering and then rotate using that tool.
For your photos I would recommend creating an Automator routine for doing that. Here is a an article that shows how to do it.

Rename Photos in Gallery - C5

When I try to rename photo in gallery, if I use the upper case when I confirm the operation the phone save the name but in lower case.
If I try to rename again the same photo, if I type in Upper case the same text the phone show me that there is another file with the same name.
With my old nokia N70 I didn't had this problem.
Thanks.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Simultaneously rename photos in LR and on disk

Hi...just purchased and started using LR today so I am a total newbie. The reference book I purchased states that renaming photos in LR also renames the image files on disk. However, so far, LR has not renamed the photos on the disk...what am I doing wrong? Obviously, I'd like the file names be consistent between LR and the source...Thank you!!!

I was importing images from an external hard drive and upon import, was inadvertently copying them to a location on my C drive. So when I renamed my files, the names were modified on default backup location on the C drive as opposed to the external source disk. Not sure why the images wouldn't be renamed on the actual source disk from where the images were imported, but there it is....

Import // rename photos

does anybody know
how can I replace about 2000 photos in indesign without having to import and rename the photos?
for example if I have 4 photos in a document, named A,B,C,D located in a folder named X
and I want to replace them with 4 different photos, named E,F,G,H located in a folder named Y , is there a possible way to do it automatically instead of manually?

I got that.. is just an endless procedure to re-link each image...as well as rebuilding from scratch (with bridge contact sheet)
I cannot rename the images because they belong to specific libraries and they ought to have the specific names however
your second suggestion "export the file to a .inx file and open the file in a text editor, like notepad or something, and then find the reference to a.tiff and replace it with b.tiff.", might be faster because I already have txt files listing the images. SO the replacement in a notepad of a.tiff to b.tiff its more than easy.
if I do that what could you please tell me what is the next step in order for my initial .indd file to take the information from .inx file?

You basically have to tell indesign what image you want to link to. If you say that you want to link to a.tiff and then you want to change the image to b.tiff you have to Relink the image. As all indesign sees is a path to the file, i.e., c:\mydocuments\eugene\images\a.tiff
InDesign has no way of reading your mind and inserting the b.tiff instead.
The only other way to do it is to rename b.tiff to be a.tiff
Or if you export the file to a .inx file and open the file in a text editor, like notepad or something, and then find the reference to a.tiff and replace it with b.tiff.
But you don't want to do that.
What I'd do is load up my cursor with all the images I wanted to place and go to each image and just click on it to insert the new image.
or
I'd select the images in the links panel (Window>Links) and choose Relink, and then when prompted to relink A.tiff I'd choose b.tiff, and when prompted for the next image I'd select the new image I wanted to place.
But InDesign won't be able to read your mind, you have to tell it what image you want to replace the other image.

Can I rename photos in Aperture?

Can I rename photos after they are in Aperture? The only thing I can find indicates renaming them during import only.

If by photos you are referring to the masters then you can rename them but it is not the most convenient thing.
You need to use Metatdata->Batch Change
Then set the version name and check the Apply to Master Files box. The name will be applied to the version selected and to it's master file.

Renaming photos

The process of renaming photos to suit my preference seems complex. Is there are simple way? If not, what are the steps. An old question from a new user.
Thanks!

What does "renaming photos" mean? Do you mean adding a title to the image? Or (as many do) renaming the file? These are not the same thing.
Adding a title to an image is straightforward. If you're finding it complex then perhaps you might explain what process you are using.

How to rename Photos and Videos ???????

Could somebody please tell me how to rename Photos and Videos on Iphone5 ?
If you cannot, what is the logical explanation behind it ?
Would of thought this is something basic....

Since photos and videos should always be synced to a computer for storage, rename them there. I'm assuming you're trying to find a way to rename in the Photo app, right? Don't trust your phone or even icloud to safely store your photos. Think of the iphone as a digital camera. Most digital cameras don't let you rename a photo.

LR4 Not Allowing Me to Rename Photos

I've been running on LR4 for about 2 weeks with no issues until last night when, for some reason, it would not allow me to rename my photos. I had been renaming photos almost every day since I got LR4 and this issue just popped up out of nowhere yesterday.
'Some Photos Will Not Be Renamed Because They Are Missing Or Not Writable' is the saying that pops up. But the files aren't missing and not sure why they aren't writable.
Thanks if anybody can help!

Does the renaming work if you wait a minute and try it, again? LR might be busy building a preview or writing metadata to the photo or its sidecar and won’t let you rename the photo until it is done doing that.
If waiting doesn’t change the situation, then if you are on Windows, right-click on the thumbnail of a troublesome photo in the thumbnail bar at the bottom and choose Show in Explorer, and if that works, then right-click on the photo in Explorer and choose Properties and look at the Attributes at the bottom of the General tab, looking to see if the Read Only attribute is checked.
If right-clicking on the photo in the thumbnail bar gives an error, then right-click on the folder that contains the photo in the left panel of Library and choose Show in Explorer and find the photo by scrolling down in the Explorer window and right-click and choose Properties then look at Attributes to see if Read Only is enabled.

Rename Photo-File without loosing Tag-Information

Hi
I would like to rename photos (Photo-Files). The name should contain the camera or/and camera-model
Something like this:

I use PSE8. And i would like not to loose all my Tags on the pictures.
Has somebody an idea how to do that? Many thanks!!!
Greentings from Switzerland

Each Picture contains the Information of the camera and model in the Exif Formattags
In my case this is (in german):
Marke: Sony DSC
Model: NEX-5
This Information i would like to place in my File Name

Renaming Photos Advice Not Effective

I've gone over the posts on this topic until I can't think straight. Old Toad told someone (a few people, actually) that to rename photos in iPhoto, you must first make a new folder on the desktop, move the photos to it, change the name, then move it back to iPhoto with the new name. I tried that; however, when I began the move, MacBook changed my application from iPhoto to Finder. Old Toad also said that if the photos are changed in Finder, they won't be recognizable to iPhoto and will disappear. If MacBook is going to be changing me to Finder just through the act of moving the photos from iPhoto to something else, how does one follow this advice?
To be fair to you, I'm a new user of Apple, and I don't yet subscribe to the idea that the Mac is THE way of finding ease in home computing. iPhoto is the best example I can think of to demonstrate that it just plain ain't.
newitchway

You don't have to move them to your PC to rename them. For the photos that are already in your library what you can do is....rename right within iPhoto by giving them titles. You will have to give each photo a distinctive title so they all have different titles. This is one reason why iPhoto does not change the name of the photo in the Finder. What if you named two photos taken on the same day "John". You can't have two files in the same folder with the same name. That is why titles you give in iPhoto, stay within iPhoto and do not change in the Finder.
Anyway, getting back to what you want to do...after you rename them in iPhoto, then share>export each roll to a new folder on the desktop. In the export window, choose "title" as the naming scheme. Once all rolls are exported to their respective folders one the desktop, close iPhoto.
Now navigate to the Pictures folder and rename the iPhoto Library folder to "iPhoto Library_old"
Launch iPhoto and it will ask you to "create" or "choose" and iPhoto library to open.
Hit "create"
Name the new library
Once the new library is open, drag your folders on the desktop one at a time into an open iPhoto Library viewing window.
Once all the folders are imported you will now have the photos having the same name in the finder that they will have within iPhoto.
You can delete the old library and all the folders on the desktop now.
In the future, use Image Capture to download your images to the Pictures folder. Put them in a dated folder and then rename the photos. Remember you can't give two photos the same name. Once the photos are renamed then you can import that folder into iPhoto. Once imported, you can then delete the folder or save it to burn for backup.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
I have to tell you though, I think that this a lot of work for something that really doesn't need to be done. I find it to time consuming to rename photos. I always keep the name given from the camera. I don't even title them in iPhoto. I do give all my photos keywords to make it easy to find the photos I want.

Software to watermark and rename Photos

Hi,
Can someone suggest a Software to watermark and rename Photos. I want to rename photos based on the date stored in the EXIF information of the photo.
Thanks

iPhoto can't do this.
Aperture can just like these two apps:
Impression
iWatermark
There are others. Search on Macupdate.

Recovering renamed photos

Made a huge mistake in renaming photos using the automater. Is there a way to recover those renamed files? When I click File>Open>Photos, I can see the renamed pictures but can't open them. Is there any way to get them back or relocate them??

What version of iPhoto are you using? And where are you seeing the File>Open>Photos option?
Do you have a backup of your library from just before you make those changes. If so then bring it back to replace the damaged library.
If you don't have a backup then you'll have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1.     Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2.     Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3.     Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4.     Drag the Origianls (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library and will have the new file names that you added but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.

Screwed up renaming photos

over the past couple months, I've been attempting to rename photos in IPhoto form their original "P1043435556654"-type names to more appropriate ones. In doing so, I've discovered that I went about it all wrong. of the couple thousand pics in my catalog, I've "changed the name" of a couple hundred by going into the finder - photos - originals - roll number - then found each Jpg and simply renamed it.
What I've discovered is that doing so disconnects the big picture from it's thumbnail, so that any attempt to look at the "big" picture by clicking on the thumbnail fails - it can't find the "big" picture because the big one has a different name in the folder now.
Any thoughts on an efficient way to remedy this? My idea was simply to copy all of the renamed photos to a different location, then reimport them into Iphoto - but that would leave an awful lot of thumbnails etc...hanging around.
On a related note, is there an efficient method to rename photos?
Thanks.

Depending on how much of the library ha sbeen damaged, you might like to start over with a new fresh library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
As you've learned: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
Finally, to find pics: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
You can title pics in iPhoto and use that title as a Filename on export.

Is there an app to rename photos on iPhone.

I take pictures on the fly for a business. But I need to rename them to keep track of things. Plus I have to email the pictures from my phone and they must be renamed before the client receives them.
I've searched all over the internet to see if there is a way to do it by default but it seems there is not a way. I've searched for apps but the only one I can is "Flowsee". And this app doesn't work. It absolutely *****. And the renamed files get hidden and difficult to access. Long story short, it's not user friendly. It's also very slow and bogs down system.
Thanks for any

I have not used it, but I did find it in the apple store (photo-sort) and read enough reviews that I would buy it if needed.
There are 370 ratings averaging 2.5 stars, and 156 reviews. Many of the one star reviewers simply say it doesn't do what it claims, but several five star reviewers say it does work, and you just need to use it properly. One very helpful review talked about renaming files - found a bug that causes the app to close if your rename changed the first character of the file name, but when opened again, the file has been correctly named. This could be annoying if you are doing a lot of files, but it is also something that you could expect a fix for. I've bought apps for $1.99 when I knew I was taking a chance, but really needed the functionality. It's not a lot of money to lose, IMO. I suggest you check out the reviews yourself.
