Choose File > Batch > Rename. |

In the Batch Rename dialog, click Modify. In the Modify File Format dialog, choose your rename options.

Notes and Tips: |
 |
The Batch Rename feature provides a quick, powerful way to assign logical filenames to digital camera images. For example, when you've taken a number of pictures from a party or other social gathering, you could use the Custom Text option described above to append the name of the party to the renamed files. |
 |
This feature can also help Web designers, graphic artists, and others organize large numbers of images. |
