Processing Multiple
Files
Processing Multiple Files
If you’re addicted to batch processing your photos, you’ll love the Elements equiv-
alent: Process Multiple Files. In addition to renaming your files and changing their
formats, you can do a lot of other very useful things with this tool, like adding
copyright information or captions to multiple files, or even using some of the
Quick Fix auto commands.
To call up the batch-processing window, in the Editor, go to File ➝ Process Multi-
ple Files. You see yet another of the headache-inducing giant Elements dialog
boxes, but this one is actually pretty easy to understand. If you look closely, you see
that the dialog box is divided into sections, each with a different specialty (see
Figure 8-10).
Figure 8-10:
You could also call Process
Multiple Files “Computer:
Earn Your Keep,” because
you can make so many
changes at once. This
dialog box is set up to
apply the following
changes: rename every file
(from PICT8983 to
basketball_
tournament001), change
them to the .psd format,
apply Auto Levels and Auto
Contrast, and add the file
name as a caption. You
make all that happen by
clicking the OK button.
