To batch rename images in Capture One, you need to first select the images you wish to rename and then use the specific batch renaming function. This process allows you to apply a consistent naming convention to a group of photos simultaneously.
Initiating the Batch Rename Process
Batch renaming is performed on multiple selected images. Capture One provides two main ways to access the batch renaming tool once you have selected the images you want to process.
According to a reference from August 3, 2020, the steps involve selecting the images and then choosing the appropriate command.
Methods to Open the Batch Renaming Tool
Here are the two primary methods to start the batch renaming process in Capture One:
- Using the Image Menu:
- Select the multiple images you want to rename in the Capture One Browser.
- Go to the Image menu at the top of the screen.
- Choose Batch Rename Images… from the dropdown menu.
- Using the Context Menu:
- Select the multiple images you want to rename in the Capture One Browser.
- Ctrl-click (on macOS) or right-click (on Windows) on one of the selected images.
- From the context menu that appears, select Batch Rename….
Both of these actions will open the Batch Renaming tool window, where you can configure the new naming pattern for your selected images.
Summary of Batch Renaming Access

|---|---|---|
