================================
Several ways to renumber your images.
After you arrange the images the way you want
them, WinXP can batch re-number them. Just
select all the images and then right click the
"first one" and choose Rename.
Birthday (1).jpg
windows will re-number the rest.....
Birthday (1).jpg
Birthday (2).jpg
Birthday (3).jpg
(your file names will be replaced)
===================================
For a numbering system that should be
universal try renaming your files this way:
Kelly,Sara,Heather0001.jpg
Kelly,Sara,Heather0002.jpg
If the file names are different...you can
still sort by number if you place the number
first.
0001Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg
0002Mary,Betty,Brenda.jpg
When you go to two or three digits...remove
the equal number of zeros.
0001
0010
0100
If you're going above 999, add an additional
zero to each file.
00001
00010
00100
01000
You can add a space between the letters
and numbers if you wish and also you can
use parenthesis.
(0001) Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg
(0002) Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg
====================================
I don't know about PhotoShop but Picture It!
recognizes the following number style:
0001 birthday.jpg
0002 birthday.jpg
0003 birthday.jpg
or....
birthday 0001.jpg
birthday 0002.jpg
birthday 0003.jpg
===================================
If you arrange your images in the correct
order and then add a number in front of
each name the files will stay in that order.
0001 sunset.jpg
0002 piano.jpg
0003 road trip.jpg
0004 birthday cake.jpg
If you need to batch renumber your files,
the excellent freeware IrfanView can do it.
IrfanView 3.91
