When you take pictures with a digital camera, the camera usually names the files using numbers that are not helpful in identifying the pictures. You can rename all of these pictures at once using a file name that makes sense to you.
When you rename the files, you specify a base file name, and then Digital Image Pro adds a four-digit number to that base file name to ensure that each file name is unique. For example, if you rename three JPEG files using "NewGuitar" as the base file name, you will end up with three files named NewGuitar0001.jpg, NewGuitar0002.jpg, and NewGuitar0003.jpg.
