need a few image "tools"

Okay, say I have several thousand images. Say 10,000. I need to do both of the following things:

1) Rename the images. These have weird and random names, and I'd like them all to be orderly. Some sort of sequence. 1, 2, 3, ... etc or a, b, c, ... etc or icon_1, icon_2, icon_3, ... etc - you get the point.

2) Watermark mass amounts of images. I'd like to add a watermark to each of these images without having to manually add them... that would be laborsome, to say the least. Say add a small transparnet 10 x 30 px icon to a 150 x 150 icon, or to that effect.

Are there free tools out there to do this? Is it possible or plausable? Could you point me in the right direction?

PHP could do this rather easily, no problem. I would help you, but my gd library skills are sorely lacking at the moment. Renaming them would just involve reading what the files are from the directory and using a while loop to loop through an array and change them. Good luck!

I'm pretty confident you could setup Photoshop to do both of these things in minutes (not free). Free options...a PHP or Bash shell script would rename the files easily enough. Don't know about the watermarks though.

Renaming is far from a problem, Dan, just use RenameMaster, that's an awesome program and it's free

As for the watermarking, PhotoShop can be used if you know how to do it and it's not that hard.

I can't program with PHP worth crap... Thanks Fredto for that link. I'll try it out - probably just what I need.

As for watermarking, I'm still not clear on how I can mass watermark images... but I'll read up on it a bit. Thanks.

You can define "actions" in Photoshop, saving any number of steps you perform on an image.

So you could define an action to paste a watermark layer onto an image, and then save it.
