Helpful tip on adding titles to photos

We've been kind of harping on the importance of adding titles to photos at MyBuffalo.com - it's a lot easier to find a photo if it's titled "Elks Club Street Dance" rather than "DSC445589.jpg" - and Darleen came up with a quick-and-easy way to do this if you're not crazy about cutting and pasting from a Notepad file as you upload your five photos at a time (sigh).

Here's her method:

If you open your images in batch process in Photoshop, you should get about however many to process at once.

Then, when you go to save, you get a different screen called Save options on that screen. The middle section shows File naming. There are 4 different boxes that you can string together if desired.

This is the process I used for my Glenn Colton images. I typed Glenn Colton in the first box then the second box chose 2 digit auto numbering, then let her run.

Yes, it doesn't look as neat and tidy as naming each one seperately because you get the .jpg at the end - however it's a whole lote better than img290.jpg.

NOTE: They will have to change their choices next time they save images as a batch again otherwise it will just continue with that numbering system. For example I didn't know that and my original titles for my macro flowers was glenn colton08. Strange name for a Black-eyed Susy.

Thanks, Darleen!
