Thanks for this info! How can I use Automator to rename selected images in my Photos app and add sequential numbers: The Hill 1, The Hill 2, etc?

Hi, I used automator to convert various images, it displays the "change permanently to Jpeg" then " conversion complete" . The photos were in .TIFF format with names, but I can't find where the photos went to.. when I go to "recents" it only shows me unrelated applications I have used and a few old photos..Thanks 9/25/22
