RAW to JPEG

[Jackwow]

Sorry if this has been covered many times before!

Normally I shoot everything in RAW and jpeg (RAW in case I get anything particularly good (very rare) and jpeg for ease of use, sharing, etc).

However on a recent shoot I only shot in RAW and am wondering if there's a quick easy way to save a copy of 60+ RAW pics as jpeg's?

I guess this would do it for you if you don't have Lightroom or similar....

Edit: This is the one I was thinking of but couldn't find.... works in right-click menu.

I use Irfanview to batch convert Raw -> Jpeg. I don't normally bother with batch conversions though, I normally view all the raws in ViewNX2, and then open up the RAWs I want to edit and convert with Photoshop.

You could use FastStone Image viewer http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

As well as being an excellent viewer it also has a batch convert feature, and its free.

Dek, Raw shooter hasn't been updated for ages, the OP has a 7D (I think) it's most lightly not compatable.

Ah, right - I just noticed the Windows 7 compatible and thought that they'd obviously updated the raw database as well.... that'll teach me to look closer!

Use the Canon DPP software that comes with the camera!

Thats what i use if i need to batch convert
Other than that I keep it in raw and then convert the ones I want to post etc to jpeg and then tweak in elements as required

If you have a 7d the best RAW converter is DPP. Many pro's prefer it's handling of the Canon RAW files to PS although a few argue the merits of CaptureOne etc.
There's no point in looking for an alternative free conversion tool DPP does most things very well and there's tutorials on the Canon site to help too.

Yup, use the batch feature of DPP. That will take the picture style settings into consideration and produce jpegs identical to what the camera would have produced.
