JPG renaming and matching files.

JPG renaming and matching files.

Postby Matthewthebody » Wed Oct 16, 2019 8:20 pm

Ok, so here is the problem I have been trying to figure out and I am beating my head against a wall. I run a software for school photos that only works with JPGS but I want to photograph in RAW and then convert my RAW files after adjustments to JPGS so they look better.

How this software works is by renaming the images as the come out of the camera.

Example:

Camera raw: DCM01234.arw
Jpg converted from raw: DCM1234.jpg
Jpg from software: LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_DCM01234_SEQUENCENUMBER.jpg

So what I am looking for is a solution to take the file name from the "Jpg from software" folder and apply it to the raws or the "jpg converted from raw" files. An auto match based on time stamps or the file name. Please help me out with this!

Thank you
Matthewthebody

Are you able to create an Excel file with :

Old Name, New Name
DCM1234.jpg,LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_DCM01234_SEQUENCENUMBER.jpg

Then you can save it as CSV and import it in BRU and use it to rename the JPG files.
