Differences Between Photos and iPhoto

The process of batch-changing image names in Photos differs from the way iPhotos accomplished the task. In iPhoto, changing a group of selected images entailed assigning a common name along with an incremental number appended to the name to make each image unique. It’s similar in Photos, but there’s no way to append an incremental number. Instead, you give the imported camera image names such as “Backyard Summer 2019.” From there, you can use various methods to add a unique identifier to the names. Here’s how to get started.

Dragging: Click and hold the primary mouse button, and then use the mouse to drag a selection rectangle around the thumbnails you wish to select.Shift+click: Hold down the shift button, and click on the first and last images you wish to select. This will select all images between these two.Command+click: Hold down the command (cloverleaf) key while clicking on each image you wish to include. You can select non-contiguous images this way.
