Help, shot in RAW by accident & want to covert as if the camera had processed!!

[DGN1984]

Hi Everyone,

I have made a mistake this weekend and wondered if anyone had any pointers. I have been playing with the settings on my
Canon 450d and whilst out shooting this weekend the camera has been in RAW mode. I understand that this means instead of the
camera processing the images this can now be done by me. I have never shot in RAW and want to know if there is now anyway
of uploading the photos to my PC and getting all the processing done for me as the camera would have done?

I intend to learn how to post process my own photos shot in RAW in the future however, right now I need to print these photos to
present next week as part of a course I'm doing. This doesn't leave me enough time to learn how to peocess RAW properly so I just
want to print the photos as a jpeg fully processed as if the camera had done this for me.

Can anyone offer any advice on this at all???

Your help would be really appreciated

Thanks

Danny

Just install DPP, select all your photos and batch convert them to JPEGs. By default DPP picks up the settings from the camera at the time the photo was taken so you'll get the same images as if you had had JPEG selected when you took the shots.

Searching around on Google and there seems to be quite a few converters and Photoshop tutorials. Don't really want to link any because I've never used them and therefore can't vouch for their validity, but I don't think all is lost.

DPP should be on the disk that came with the camera.

I have uploaded RAW files in picasa and it applies a basic process to them, just looked a little bland, you should then be able to process and save as jpeg's.

DPP is the only software that can truly give you the same as the pictures would have been right out of the camera, as it uses the same computer program to handle the data. Everything else either guesses or just uses a default set of settings.

Dave makes a very important point here "DPP is the only software....."
