Renaming Images at Export
When you export a large group of images, the exported files often have nonsequential
names. You can rename your images at export, giving them more meaningful names.
For example, suppose you want to export images LA 031, LA 441, LA 686, and LA 894
from image group LA 001 to LA 1061. You can use the Custom Name with Index name
format to rename your images LA 1, LA 2, and so on.

5 When you’re ready to export files, click either Export Masters or Export Versions.
The files are exported with the name format you specified.
If none of the preset name formats meets your needs, you can create a new name format.

and the date.
