If you just need to change the name of a single photo inside of Lightroom, the process is very straightforward. Simply select the photo you want to rename, expand the Metadata panel, set the panel to Default view, click into the File Name field, and edit the filename as needed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Similarly, can you batch rename<\/strong> photos<\/strong> in Lightroom? Rename Multiple Images After Import \u2014To batch rename<\/strong> multiple images, first select the images in Grid view, then choose Library > Rename Photos and choose from one of Lightroom<\/strong> Classic’s default file naming templates or, create your own (see Creating a File Naming Template below to learn how).<\/p>\n Beside above, can you rename catalog in Lightroom? How do I rename a catalog? You can rename<\/strong> a catalog in the Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS). If you rename<\/strong> a catalog, make sure you rename its corresponding Previews and Smart Previews files as well. Close Lightroom Classic.<\/p>\n Furthermore, how do I rename<\/strong> my Lightroom<\/strong> classic catalog? In Mac, go to Lightroom<\/strong> > Catalog Settings > General. The top item is the location of the catalog. You can hit the \u201cShow\u201d button to take you there in finder. In Windows, go to Edit > Catalog Settings > General.<\/p>\n Considering this, how do I rename my photos? <\/p>\n You can batch rename images in Windows by selecting (Shift+click or Ctrl+click to select several files; Ctrl+A to select all) and pressing right-click > “Rename”. Your file names will look like image (1), image (2), image (3) etc.<\/p>\n The primary difference to understand is that Lightroom Classic is a desktop based application and Lightroom (old name: Lightroom CC) is an integrated cloud based application suite. Lightroom is available on mobile, desktop and as a web-based version. Lightroom stores your images in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Your photos must be stored on the external drive. Once the catalog is opened from either computer, changes to the photo are saved to the catalog and can be seen from both devices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n As a general rule, use as few catalogs as you can. For most photographers, that’s a single catalog, but if you need additional catalogs, think it through carefully before you act. Multiple catalogs can work, but they also add a degree of complexity that’s unnecessary for most photographers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Locate the folder that contains the catalog and preview files. In Lightroom Classic, choose Edit > Catalog Settings (Windows) or Lightroom Classic > Catalog Settings (Mac OS). In the Information area of the General panel, click Show to go to the catalog in the Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac OS).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n To create a new catalog in Lightroom Classic CC, select \u201cFile| New Catalog\u2026\u201d from the Menu Bar. The \u201cCreate Folder with New Catalog\u201d dialog box then opens. In this dialog box, enter the name and location of the new catalog folder. Then click the \u201cCreate\u201d button to create the catalog and close the dialog box.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Once you locate the folder containing your catalog, you can get access to the catalog files. You can delete the unwanted ones, but make sure you quit Lightroom first as it won’t allow you to mess with these files if it’s open.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Open a folder of photos, select the ones you want to rename, right-click (or hold down the Control key and click) the group and choose Rename [Number] Items from the contextual menu. Supply a keyword, and the Mac will rename the files and tack on a number in sequence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If you just need to change the name of a single photo inside of Lightroom, the process is very straightforward. Simply select the photo you want to rename, expand the Metadata panel, set the panel to Default view, click into the File Name field, and edit the filename as needed.
