Important Facts
When indexing a large number of images, it may be beneficial to create a file naming convention for better organization. This first tutorial will walk you through the steps required to rename multiple files in one step using Adobe Bridge CS3.
Actions created in Photoshop can be performed on multiple images through Adobe Bridge. This includes resizing images to a standard size, performing color conversion, running filters on several images at once, and you can create other actions using Photoshop. The only pre-requisite is that you have to first create these actions in Photoshop before Bridge can perform them. Once this has been done, you can follow the second set of instructions to batch apply the action using Adobe Bridge CS3.
