Batch Conversion: RAW --> JPEG

->> Does anyone know a way to batch convert Nikon RAW files (NEFs) into jpgs? I'm on a time crunch and opening my whole take one by one in PS is quite time consuming.
Photos were taken over a year ago w/ a D1H before RAW+Jpeg option was available.
Thanks in advance,
Robert |

->> Robert,
You can set up a batch in Capture 4 to do exactly that. I do it for every shoot.
When you bring up a batch, at the bottom of the box it gives you the option as to which file type you want to save. I create a second folder to save the jpegs. If you only change the file type the batch goes through fairly fast.

->> Robert,
Are you using Photoshop CS? If so, give "Dr. Brown's Image Processor" a look. It's a very powerful CS-only script and runs much faster than an action. It allows you, among other things, to make batch adjustments to a group of RAW images (in PS-CS Browser) then convert them all at once to TIFF or jpeg or even PSD's.

If nothing else, watch the Quicktime movie that shows step-by-step screen images of how it works and what you can do with it. It's a little goofy, but full of useful information on the script.
It saves a ton of time if you shoot, it works on both Mac & PC....and it's free.

Byron. I'm with you. Capture's Raw-to-JPEG batch command is so easy to use that I now shoot only Raw and no longer use camera's Raw+JPEG option.
While it's not a huge difference, it frees up some room for more shots on the CF card.
