Interesting tips! I have to add one for the poor Windows users: i often dual save my images, so one card full of jpegs, other one full of raws. Then i will sort the jpegs (just because they are easier to work with). But i still want all the Raw files that belong to these jpegs, for editing later. So what i did was ask chatgpt for some code (and tweaked it lateron) that could automate the process. so here is the code: import os import shutil jpg_dir = r'D:\Your\JPEG\Storage' raw_dir = r'F:\Your\Raw\Folder' ziel_dir = r'D:\Your\Raw\Destination\Folder' for file in os.listdir(jpg_dir): if file.endswith('.JPG'): base_name = os.path.splitext(file)[0] raw_file = os.path.join(raw_dir, base_name + '.RAF') if os.path.exists(raw_file): shutil.copy(raw_file, ziel_dir) print(f"Copying {raw_file} to {ziel_dir}") else: print(f"RAW-File for {base_name} not found") put that in a text file, name it something.py then you need to have python installed on your system. Run the code with python (e.g. in a command shell run "python3 something.py") and your files will be copied automatically. Be sure to make a Backup if something goes wrong!
Brilliant. Thanks for posting Chris. Now to figure out how to pull some EXIF data to modify the file name to include create date year/month and camera type...
This is so good, thank you so much for making this video. Renaming multiple files on a Mac imo is already a breeze as is, but this is like a turbo boost
First, a big, big thank you for all the educational videos you put out for all of us. I was really lucky to come across your channel as I've learnt so much (I've just started my macro photography journey as a hobby using the XH2 from Fuji) and I'm grateful as it's hard to find quality videos these days. Secondly, I'm a Windows user and I can suggest using Power Automate from Microsoft, which could help with automation in a similar way (bit more complex, but once you get used to it, you can automate so much more than just renaming files). Also, as an easier alternative for renaming files, I simply use Power Toys from Microsoft it does this without having to create an app or any complicated setup, and in addition, it offers so many other cool tools (split screen into zones, Paste as plain Text, Copy text from an image and more these are just a few that I use on a regular basis ). Hope this helps 😊 P.S. both Power Automate & Power Toys are free software from Microsoft
Very helpful tips. I’ve never used the Automator app but will now. I remember doing similar tasks in Photoshop years ago. I’ve also use Hazel to keep my desktop and download folder cleaned up on a schedule.
I'm a Windows uses, so the windows tip is much appreciated!! I had no idea something like this could be done. Thank you!! Oh, it's interesting, the folder has the same icon as the Control Panel. Just an FYI...
Great content - AGAIN!. would love some more advanced features explaination video if you can find the time. You are the teacher I was always missing = one that I can understand :-) thxs for all the great content
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
A good tutorial, a slightly advanced future tutorial would be good. If you say have a default folder that you put all the renamed files in, can the macro have a facility to change a name if you had two files the same name? IE did not have your SD cards setup to not reset when you changed etc.
Thanks for this helpful video. I really would like to know, how to delete JPG files without corresponding RAW file using Automator. 😊 because I shoot RAW+JPG in Lightroom I delete the RAW Files that I don’t need. But there’s no option to delete the same JPGs, too? Thanks in advance, I love this channel. Axel
Hi, just wanted to ask, it is my second week owning X-T4, and i have been watching your videos a lot i mean you were my guide and until now ofc u helped us a lot thankss, and a question: I noticed when I transfer the images to my phone it appears to be 2megapixels so is it normal or not is there anything that can increase or not !? Thanks for responding
Very helpful, but I wish you were more deliberate in your demonstration. I need to go back and forth to the video to make sure I am doing things correctly.
Interesting tips!

But i still want all the Raw files that belong to these jpegs, for editing later. So what i did was ask chatgpt for some code (and tweaked it lateron) that could automate the process. so here is the code:
import os
import shutil
jpg_dir = r'D:\Your\JPEG\Storage'
raw_dir = r'F:\Your\Raw\Folder'
ziel_dir = r'D:\Your\Raw\Destination\Folder'
for file in os.listdir(jpg_dir):
if file.endswith('.JPG'):
base_name = os.path.splitext(file)[0]
raw_file = os.path.join(raw_dir, base_name + '.RAF')
if os.path.exists(raw_file):
shutil.copy(raw_file, ziel_dir)
print(f"Copying {raw_file} to {ziel_dir}")
else:
print(f"RAW-File for {base_name} not found")
put that in a text file, name it something.py
then you need to have python installed on your system. Run the code with python (e.g. in a command shell run "python3 something.py") and your files will be copied automatically. Be sure to make a Backup if something goes wrong!
Sweet
Je pense qu'il est possible de le faire avec VBA :)
Please make another videos with more examples concerning this automation feature on Mac. Very informative. Thank you.
Yes! More complicated and advanced stuff, please!
Very happy to add an endorsment to this request. You have a style of delivery that really helps clarify the processes in a succinct and memorable way.
Brilliant. Thanks for posting Chris. Now to figure out how to pull some EXIF data to modify the file name to include create date year/month and camera type...
This is why Chris is SOOOOOO Cool!
Rock on man!

This is awesome! Thank you, Chris!
Thanks!

Thanks for this tutorial! Automator is reaaaaally powerful indeed! Definitely waiting for more content like this.
I'm a Windows uses, so the windows tip is much appreciated!! I had no idea something like this could be done. Thank you!! Oh, it's interesting, the folder has the same icon as the Control Panel. Just an FYI...
Very nice. For those of you who use capture one it also comes with very good options for automating your imports.
Also, much of what you showed can be done in Lightroom in the export menu. Thanks for the tip about God mode.
Wow! Best MacOS tip ever. Thank you.
very cool tips!
Great content - AGAIN!. would love some more advanced features explaination video if you can find the time. You are the teacher I was always missing = one that I can understand :-) thxs for all the great content
Great app - never heard of it before. Thanks!
great video, thank you! would love to see a shortcut to process raw files to DXO raw deprime mode.
Excellent, thank You !
An Automator script that imports the files and sorts them in date folders similar to what Lightroom is doing on import would be great
Excellent Thank you

How to extract film sim to filename?
EDIT: For PC there is tool called RoboBasket which does what Automator on Mac

Great video Chris.
Waouww !
Very helpful, but I wish you were more deliberate in your demonstration. I need to go back and forth to the video to make sure
I am doing things correctly.
Have you ever explored ALL of the functionality of APPLE PHOTOS? For example batch title. No need for writing up the automation . I shoot Fuji XT4
Thanks for these tips....Santa is bringing me a Mac, so I'll know exactly what to do with my photos then! Appreciate all you do!
Putting a “/“ forward slash in a file name is a really bad idea. You should delete this video.
That’s only on Windows, but using dashes or underscores would probably be more universal. Not sure I’d recommend deleting the video though.
