I have a folder of images from a travel trip that I naively processed before renaming. I saved images as PSD and JPG along with maintaining the CR. This gave me an original file number with say 2 different extensions under the same number. But later, I found other images from the same trip that I want to add in a specific order to the folder. But when I attempt the Batch rename it will change each image with consecutive file number, if I have saved them with different extensions. Is there a way to Batch rename all the collection of images where an image with say 2 or 3 different extensions can keep the same new Batch rename and number? ie:
K2 Expedition_001.psd
K2 Expedition_001.jpg
K2 Expedition_001.copy.jpg
and not being changed in the Batch Rename to:
K2Expedition_001.psd
K2Expedition_002.jpg
K2Expedition_003.copy.jpg

Hi Wayne,
I understand the issue that issue you're facing. However, bridge will not be able to name the files in this order because it will read each file as an individual file and if you batch rename them bridge will give them a unique name.

I don't think so.
You would need to select all JPGs and rename, then all PSDs and rename, and so on. That may or may not work for what you want.

Also is this really a Photoshop question? Or Bridge or Lightroom?

Thank you for your reply. After spending lots of time in the Batch Rename section and option I could never do what I wanted. It's a folder with hundreds of images that I didn't want to correct manually. I'll have to reconsider my approach now. But really appreciate your response.
This is the first time using these forums so didn't consider the Bridge group. I may try that as well.
Thanks

I'll move this post to the Bridge forum. No need to double post.

As Just Shoot Me said, you will need to rename in batches and reset the numbering for each batch. If there is metadata such as a file origination date such as DD-MM-YYYY_HH-MM-SS or another value that would be unique then that would be another option.
