Manually arranging photos in lightroom...

So I have 750 photos of a wedding I need to organize. I used two different cameras and the time is messed up on one of them so when lightroom sorts them by capture time- they are way out of order. I'm wanting to rename the filenames in sequence for their web-gallery.
Any advice on how to do this? I can't find my scott kelby lightroom book at the moment.

thanks.

I'm not at my Lightroom 'puter right now, but I'll toss out some thoughts.

The first thing you can try is to change the Capture Time in the image exif of the "bad" camera files. LR3 has the ability to do this and to actually write the time into the exif. Give that a try. Search Help for Capture Time and see if it turns up the needed info. You can change the time on a batch of images and have it make the changes in increments you specify, if I'm correct. If it works, you can have the Sort Order by capture time and then it'll be easy to rename them in the proper sequence.

If that doesn't work or you need another approach, you can go manual:

First, is there any difference in the file names from the two cameras? Or, if using the original filenames from the camera, there must be a differece in the image numbers, right? So if you sort to get them in sequence by image name/number, then you could set the LR Sort Order to User Order (I believe that's what you do, using the Sort tool -- you could find details in help). Then, it's up to you to drag images in the film strip into their proper order -- I'm thinking LR can't help you there. From there, do a test of a set of your images -- select a set, rename them and see if they behave the way you would like. But the capture time will remain the same you you would have to have the Sort Order do do it alphabetically.

Now, that won't

You can drag and drop files as long as they are in the same folder. To rename the files I think you press F2. So select the files you wish to rename and then press F2 for the new dialog box.

PS, you can also edit the time the image was taken.

yeah! I did it!!! Thats a great blog. Pretty cool how that works. Lesson learned- sync my cameras!
That turned out to be a lot easier than what I was expecting!!
