Hi all. I have named 250 tiff images in Bridge but have mistakenly added a letter in the file name. Is it possible to batch remove the erroneous letter without affecting the original name ?

with thanks. (Windows 11. Photoshop CC)

Yes, use batch rename and select "String Subsitution." Then just enter what you accidently put in with what you want to be there: nothing, to just remove the character.

Agreed, it could be that easy, but it could be tougher and require pattern matching - regular expression based string substitution.

The devils in the details and there is no detail provided at this point.

Probably yes, but without before and after examples it's hard to comment.

Please post screenshots and or copy/paste the filenames as text with 3 before/after examples and any other specific details to allow us to help you.

Many thanks. Examples attached. The prefix BM. was a mistake and shouldn't be part of the filename. I have 200 different images all the ame so am looking for a shortcut to remove this prefix so it reads as the second image.
