If you’re addicted to batch-processing photos, then you’ll love Elements’ Process Multiple Files feature. In addition to renaming your files and changing their formats, you can do a lot of other very useful things with this tool, like adding copyright information or captions to multiple files, or even using some of Quick Fix’s Auto commands.

To call up the batch-processing window, in Full Edit, go to File?Process Multiple Files. You see yet another headache-inducing, giant Elements dialog box. Fear not—this one is actually pretty easy to understand. If you look closely, you see that it’s divided into sections, each with a different specialty (see Figure 8-14).
