Navigate back to the ps03lessons folder, and then take two random skateboarding

Click on the Redmond Skateboarding collection folder to see that even though you

their original location.
A collection helps you to organize i les without moving them to new locations.
Automation tools in Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge provides many tools to help you automate tasks. In this section, you will
learn how to access and take advantage of some of these features.
Batch renaming your files
You may have noticed that in the ps03lessons i le there are many i les that contain iStock
in the i lename. These images were downloaded from iStockphoto.com , and instead of
changing the names immediately we have opted to change them simultaneously using the
batch rename feature in Adobe Bridge.
1
Press the Go back arrow ( ) in the upper-left of the Adobe Bridge window to go back
to the ps03lessons folder.
2
Choose Edit > Select All, or press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac OS.) All
the images are selected. Don't worry if the Graphics folder is selected; the i les inside
will not be af ected.
3
Choose Tools > Batch Rename. The Batch Rename dialog box appears.
In this instance we want a simple uncomplicated name. If you look in the Preview
section at the bottom of the Batch Rename dialog box, you can see that the Current
i lename and New i lename are pretty long strings of text and numbers. You will
simplify this by eliminating some of text from the i lenames.
4
In the New Filenames section, type Skateboard in the text i eld to the right of
default criteria of Text.
