A friend does some voluntary archive and record research type work for a large national charity. The work involves (amongst other things) looking through old documents, many of which she photographs to review at leisure at a later date as she cannot remove them from the various libraries and archives where they are stored.
After a recent bit of reasearch, she ended up with photos of literally hundreds of documents which, when downloaded are assigned sequential numbers by her computer - hence she has a huge list of files called ABC1234.jpg or similar. She then has to spend hours (days!) renaming them so they’re called Ledger1page1 or similar so she can find them to refer back to later.
So, my question is ..... is there a simple was she can batch “rename” files, using LR, PS or any other pp software you can think of, to save her having to do this one image at a time? ie - select, say, 20 images and rename them all together so they come out as Ledger1page1, page2, page3 etc. Thanks all ..... (hope that makes sense).
