I like to shoot tethered on studio shoots, shooting raw +jpeg . the raw to edit in cs4 and the jpegs to batch into small low res profs. Now is there some who knows of a way to make the camera control software to save the jpegs in one file and the raws’s in another.
Thank you for any help you can offer
 
It might be easier using a hot folder and moving the files rather than trying to modify camera control software.

It seems that it is much easier to set up a Mac than a PC

I even managed to modify "Auto Preview Latest File" to create a hot folder with windows 7 and CS5

Thank you for replying. I think hot folders and so forth are a bit over my head so for the moment I will have to stick with at the end of the shoot sort by size cut and paste to another folder then run my batch to make profs from the jpegs
 
As a matter of interest what size (longest side) in pixels do you resize the JPGs to?
This might be able to be done directly within Bridge (Not using Batch or Image Processor)
 
This might be of interest, this script will resize all jpgs in the selected folder putting them into a newly created folder "JPG Proofs" it will allow you to select the longest side in pixels and the quality (1 - 100) an alert will tell you when all the jpgs have been processed.
Once installed the script is run from the "Right Mouse Click Menu" "Create Proofs"
Code:
#target bridge   
 if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  
TIH = MenuElement.create("command", "Create Proofs", "at the end of Thumbnail");
}
TIH.onSelect = function () { 
	  ThumbnailCreator();
	  }
function ThumbnailCreator(){
Prefs = File("~/BridgeThumbNailSticky.dat");
Sticky ={};
if(Prefs.exists){
Prefs.open('r');
Sticky = eval(Prefs.read());
Prefs.close();
}

    }
}

To Install...
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities

Start Bridge
PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.
 
Thank you I will try the script out ASAP It looks like it will be a big help
