Why We Should Rename Our Image Files
A practical webinar exploring why the names we give our image files matter. Learn how meaningful, descriptive file names help improve organisation, accessibility, searchability and the overall quality of our digital content. We’ll look at the problems caused by generic file names such as “IMG_1234.jpg” and explore simple approaches for creating clear, consistent and useful file names. The session will include practical examples and tips you can apply to your own images and digital resources. You’ll leave with a straightforward approach for naming image files in a way that saves time and supports better digital practice. Suitable for anyone who creates, manages or shares images as part of their work. No technical knowledge is required.

I was looking for someone to help me understand my canon camera whilst on holiday in Minehead. I am so glad that I booked a one-to-one day out with Mark. I can’t say enough about how professional Mark is & how wonderful our day out together was. Mark instantly put me at ease and nothing was too much trouble for him to explain. Mark does this in a way that you can easily relate to in day to day scenarios. I have since joined Mark‘s Lightroom Monday group and now enjoy learning all about post production of my images.
