Renaming Photo files

When entering quilts into the GNZQS or challenges please ensure that you have named your photos exactly as requested.  We ask that you do this to make the job of managing all the entries through the various stages they go through more efficient for everyone involved.  This is an enormous job, and having to rename files at every step of the process adds considerably to the time taken.

Your photo files should be named –

Surname-Quilt title-Full for the photo of the whole quilt

Surname-Quilt title-Detail for the detail photo

To rename photos taken on an Android device:

1. Go to Gallery (that has the pinkish flower symbol on my phone)
2. Select the photo to rename by clicking it
3. Click the three vertical dots symbol which gives you more options
4. Click Details
5. Under the heading Image Info it will tell you the size of your photo
6. Click Edit
7. Click the filename (second one down on my list)
8. The keyboard should come up so you can delete the name and replace it with Surname-Quilt title-Full, or if it the detail file Surname-Quilt title-Detail, then click Save.
9. Your filename should now be saved.

To rename photos taken on an Apple device.

You cannot rename a photo file in the Photos app on an iPhone or iPad.  You can only rename the photo when you export or share the photo to a different location.

On your iPhone or iPad:

1. In Photos select the photo you wish to rename.
2. Click the Share icon (arrow pointing upwards).
3. Scroll down to Save to Files.
4. The name of the file is at the bottom of the screen.
5. Tap on it, it turns blue, rename it.
6. Remember to add  .jpeg
7. Click Save.
8. You can now locate the photo in your Files folder and share it from there, it will have the new name.
