I'm doing a bit of work for a friend who does wedding photography and she has given me 480 pictures which are numbered 1 - 480 but instead of the pictures being in the correct order, they start at the end of the wedding and continue on to the beginning, which is a problem if I am to make a slideshow. So for example picture 480 are the pictures taken before the wedding and 001 are at the end.
I've been playing around with the software but I am not sure how to reverse the numbers around so picture 480 appears as 001, 479 as 002 etc. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Exchange the counter between filenames, from last to first a

"Help with changing filename" is an really clever and unambiguous subject for an topic in an file rename forum.
Hi sev,
Basically:
1* make an copy of your file and put them away in case something goes wrong.
2* add your files to BRU
001
002
...
480
3* click on the header of the "Name" column to sort up-side down
480
479
478
...
002
001
4* remove the digits (how depends on your file names, you didn't have provide examples)
Maybe the simple way to just remove last n chars will help?
5* do an new Numbering, e.g. Start:1, as suffix, pad:3
6* select on or more files to see in the "NewName" column how the new name will be
If you are satisfied, rename.
Done.
HTH?
Find me: Exchange the counter between filenames, from last to first and vice versa. Tradeoff reorder numbering, last to first, first to last
