I have a file that contains 100 images. The file is the result of uploading the images from three different cameras into one file. All of the images are of a particular day with many similar shots of the same scene. They appear in the file as images pumpkin1 to pumpkin100. The similar shots are not all together.
I’d like to arrange the images in a particular sequence that groups the similar shots and puts the whole series in a particular order. I’ve been doing this by renaming the files in such a way that they fall in this order. That’s rather time consuming.
(This is a project that I often do. When we have a family gathering I’ll upload my camera, my daughter’s, and my son’s into one file so we can select the best shots of the group. What I’m writing here is just an example of a frequently-done project.)
I’d like to be able to use a drag-and-drop system that allows me to sequence the images, and then a re-numbering program that keeps them in this order. I haven’t figured out a way to do this yet.
I have Adobe Photoshop 7, Irfanview, Ulead Photo Explorer 7, and the Canon bundled programs. I’d like to use one of these programs or download a free or inexpensive image manipulation system. Free because (a) I’m cheap, and (b) the programs I’ve listed do everything else I want to do so I don’t want to pay for just one time-saving feature.
The reason, by the way, for all of this is that out of 100 images I’ll make a slide-show of the best 20 or so and print one or two 8 x10 single sheets of the best for an album. Out of 100 shots, there’s usually 9 or 18 that can best represent the day. The rest I’ll keep on a disk, but realistically you end up with 20% or less of the digital shots that capture the memories.
Any suggestions?
