Try something this...

Assuming you have files with this format only. Here script is adding 2 more zeros at the number in the bracket

Code:
for file in *
do
new_file_name=$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/\\ //g' -e 's/([0-9]*/&00/g' )
mv "$file" "$new_file_name"  
done

Hope this helpsSmilie

One more -

Assuming you have two directories one is input and second destination. And assuming you have image names like 1,2,3,.... so on..

Code:
#Count gives you latest digit/number of a image you have...
Count=$(ls /Dest_dir/* | awk -F "[()]" '{ print $2}' | sort | tail -1)

ls /input_dir/* | while read line
do
let Count+=1        #Increment the counter
new_file_nanme=$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/\\ //g' -e 's/([0-9]*)/('"$Count"')/g')
mv "$file" "$new_file_nanme"  
done

NAME
PAPI_set_cmp_granularity - Set the default counting granularity for eventsets bound to the specified component. SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description @par C Prototype: int PAPI_set_cmp_granularity( int granularity, int cidx ); @param granularity one of the following constants as defined in the papi.h header file @arg PAPI_GRN_THR Count each individual thread @arg PAPI_GRN_PROC Count each individual process @arg PAPI_GRN_PROCG Count each individual process group @arg PAPI_GRN_SYS Count the current CPU @arg PAPI_GRN_SYS_CPU Count all CPUs individually @arg PAPI_GRN_MIN The finest available granularity @arg PAPI_GRN_MAX The coarsest available granularity @param cidx An integer identifier for a component. By convention, component 0 is always the cpu component. Return values: PAPI_OK PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid. PAPI_ENOCMP The argument cidx is not a valid component. PAPI_set_cmp_granularity sets the default counting granularity for all new event sets, and requires an explicit component argument. Event sets that are already in existence are not affected. To change the granularity of an existing event set, please see PAPI_set_opt. The reader should note that the granularity of an event set affects only the mode in which the counter continues to run. Example: int ret; // Initialize the library ret = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT); if (ret > 0 && ret != PAPI_VER_CURRENT) { fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch!0); exit(1); } if (ret < 0) handle_error(ret); // Set the default granularity for the cpu component ret = PAPI_set_cmp_granularity(PAPI_GRN_PROC, 0); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); * See Also: PAPI_set_granularity PAPI_set_domain PAPI_set_opt PAPI_get_opt Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for PAPI from the source code.
