Rename multiple files simultaneously

Step 1 - Create a separate image folder
Ideally, you may want to create a seperate folder for the files to be renamed.
Step 2 - Open the Batch Rename dialog
Choose File > Batch > Rename.
Step 3 - Open folder containing the images
In the Batch Rename dialog, navigate to the folder (from Step 1) containing the images.
Step 4 - Set rename options
Click Modify. In the Modify dialog, choose your rename options. For example, choose Custom Text, click Add, and then enter the new root filename text in the Custom Text field. You might then want to choose Sequence, and then click Add. This will append sequential numbering to each file. You'll see an example filename at the bottom of the Modify dialog. Click OK to return to the Batch Rename dialog.
Step 5 - Click Select All
To launch the renaming process, click Select All. A progress meter will briefly appear.
Step 6 - Verify the new filenames
Browse to the image folder to verify the new filenames.
