If you get a sec, check out my post today on my daily blog called “Don’t Be That Guy.” Here’s the link. If the images are already on your computer or external hard drive, then you’ll see the use the previous method I showed to rename those. NOTE: This “rename on import” thing only works for new images you are importing from your camera’s memory card. It’s in the File Rename panel on the right side (seen above). Most importantly, since you did the name change inside of Lightroom, it doesn’t lose track of them even though they now have new names, (and yes, it goes and changes the actual name of the file out on your computer or external hard drive).ĪNOTHER METHOD: You can also change your file names as they’re first importing in Lightroom, from within the Import window itself. STEP TWO: When the rename photos window appears (seen above), you can choose from a number of different naming conventions, but the one I always go with is “Custom Name – Sequence” which lets my type what I want the new name to be, and then it adds a sequential number to the end (and it shows you an example of how its going to look at the bottom of the window). STEP ONE: In the Library module, go under the Library menu up top and choose ‘Rename Photos’ (as seen above). That way, Lightroom knows the new name, and everything just hums right along. The background of the movie shows the view of the wide-angle coronagraphs (blue/white), or LASCO instruments, aboard SOHO. The time frame is late October and early November of 2003, the time of some record-breaking solar activity. If you want to change the name of your files to something more descriptive than “7A2A4600.CR3” (which I think is a great idea by the way), just do the renaming part from right within Lightroom itself. This movie is a composition of multiple solar datasets synchronized in time. It’s looking for an image named “7A2A4600.CR3” but you changed it’s name on your computer to “Disney with the Kids – 001.CR3” and while you still see its thumbnail in Lightroom Classic, it has lost track of the original. If you go on your computer, open a folder full of images, and change their names, Lightroom Classic loses track of those images because it tracks them by their name.
