yeah i am on windows

way too many i have thousands of pics that need to be reformatted with .jpg instead of .JPG

ACDSEE are perfect for this task

photoshop will batch rename ANY folder of files .... regardless if they are images, videos, text files ... even executables!

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I think the Photoshop suggestions were a joke... Surely?

I buy my Photoshop license ... but I also use it to make a living, and as such, it is a tax write-off anyways ...

For the other 99% of the internet (with bit torrent) ... yes Photoshop may as well be a free download.

I mean ... lets be honest ... sure nobody likes to openly discuss it, but of my friends, every last one of them has photoshop on their computer ... how much (if anything) they paid for it, is not what is being discussed here.

If I already have Photoshop on my computer that does a smashing job of batch renaming, why on God's green earth would I need to download another program??

What I meant was, loading each file into Photoshop one by one, as someone suggested, or loading them and saving them (ie, unnecessarily compressing them again) as .jpg.

I agree with you about Photoshop piracy. I'm not saying Adobe actively encouraged it, but I do believe they unofficially condoned it, or at least recognized the benefits of it.

People (businesses) who could afford Photoshop paid for it, and people who couldn't afford it, download it, and got hooked on it. If they later started a business, or got rich enough, they'd buy Photoshop, because it's what they had learned and were used to.

I'm sure Adobe preferred people to use Photoshop for free than other, more affordable or pirated, software from their rivals.

you should try Lupas Rename 100% free and it will do exactly what you need

My favorite most versatile program is still "Rename" from WebXpace - jump straight to the description and download section at this link: http://www.webxpace.com/software/fre...ml#FileRenamer

:D

I use ACDSEE and they have a great file renamer built in there, the BEST for image editing

there used to be TGP Cropper but it no longer works and i've never found an alternative :(

Photoshop has one of the most powerful batch engines ... no need to load files one by one ... put all the files you want to use(rename) in a common folder, and VOILA!!

And yes .... without a doubt Adobe 'allowed' piracy as part of their business model ... They did not become the world's most popular photo manipulation tool by selling $899 licenses! :thumbsup:winkwink:

:thumbsup

That's how South Park became so popular, too, but by making it free to watch online.

Yea I heard of that never used it, wish it was around now, tried tons of different programs none do this. Lots of great free programs for other image stuff but i just want to crop shit lol shouldnt be this hard.
