3. Are there any image file name do’s and don’ts?

Share this article:

When changing image file names, limit the characters to:
• A-Z
• a-z
• 0-9
• underscore ( _ )
• period ( . )
• hyphen ( – )
WHY? Using only these characters will provide for maximum “portability” and fewer problems when exchanging files between various operating and storage systems.
Other forms of punctuation such as / \ : ! @ # $ % ^ < > , [ ] { } & * ( ) + = may have specific uses with various operating systems or programs and may create confusion or errors. Please refrain from using any of these in your photo file names.
