incrementing the filename with numbers automatically

[jasoncb]

Hi if i had a file called example.jpg already saved in a folder how can i get
photoshop to save the same image again but as example(1).jpg (or similar). At
the moment it will just save over the original file if i dont change the name,
any ideas?

Camera Raw does what you ask for, but I do not think there is a way in Photoshop, since Photoshop uses windows system for saving, which asks you for the name, so you can put whatever you want. Photoshop CS6 saves automatically in preset intervals ( 5, 10, etc. minutes ) but it does not create files, it is just to recover in case of crash.

If you are not make changes to the image just hit hit ctrl c with the file selected in explorer. Then hit ctrl v to make as many copies as your heart desires. If you want a certain file name structure after that you can use Batch Rename feature in Bridge.

I am afraid this is not what he asked for, he would like "file versioning" inside Photoshop, to have saved files numbered during his Photoshop work to have save points if he decides to go back.

That's why I said if he was not making changes since he didn't say he wanted save points. Nonethelsss, he can just use alt ctrl s then to save copy. But I guess that would only allow him one copy.

So save as and just change the number manually.
