Photos and iPhoto both have a batch change feature for adding or altering image titles. This capability can be very useful when you import new images into either app; chances are their names aren’t very descriptive, particularly if the images came from your digital camera. Names like CRW_1066, CRW_1067, and CRW_1068 can’t tell me at a glance that these are three images of our backyard bursting into summer color.

It’s easy to change an individual image’s name; one way to do it is by using this easy tip. But it’s even easier, and less time consuming, to change the titles of a group of photos simultaneously.
Photos and iPhoto offer different ways to change image names. In iPhoto, you can batch change a group of selected images to have a common name along with an incremental number appended to the name to make each image unique.
