Photoshop has a batch process that takes files in a folder and completes the process on each item. Would Esri make this standard for batch processing? It would make OUR life so much easier.

What tool(s) are you trying to batch? While it won't accept a folder as input, you can browse to the folder and Ctrl+A to add all the folder's contents. Have you tried that?
Hello Michelle,
Are you aware of iterators in ModelBuilder? They may just get you where you want to go.
There is Iterate Files that takes a folder as input. Several others do as well.
Note only 1 iterator is supported per model.
With the iterator added to a model, attach the GP tool you want/need to use, like Copy in this simple example. The %Name% ensures that you get unique output names.

Thank you, GIS Ninja Barbara! What a great idea, I will work on a model for my tasks.
YES, IT WORKED PERFECTLY!!! Thank you so much, I'll be making new tools for the rest of the week.
