Hi Christine. I'd like to point out that irfanview can do a batch conversion/rename a lot faster than PS... maybe you haven't found this function in Irfanview (file > batch conversion/rename) as a test I put 1500 50K images in a folder and had irfanview rename them - it took a little over a minute.. photoshop in comparison only managed to rename about 30 images in that same time (!!) batch resizing, colour correction, contrast, sharpness rotation etc etc etc are all available in Irfanview (under 'advanced options) and are done MUCH faster than photoshop can manage all the best karl
