Batch Process question

[rickp1]

Hey guys,
I got CS4 and I have about 150 images in Canon's CR2 format and I need to convert to JPG. I can't seem to figure it out how to patch process that. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Go to FILE>AUTOMATE>BATCH

Then pick your action

I found that choice. But I cant find the ssave as JPG option or process only the save as PDF. That's what's kind of throwing me for a loop.

You must create an action first.

Oh.
How, I've no clue how to do that and I've looked belive me. Is it compicated or lengthy?

Click on VIEW>ACTIONS

this will open up your actions menu. Open one of the files that you have to edit then click on the icon next to the garbage can in the actions menu that you have just opened. Name your action,then click on record and edit your file.Once done editing,click on "Stop Record" and there you have your action.

Quick question...

Are you editing all 150 images in CS2? If not, why not just use the Digital Photo Professional software than came w/ your Canon to batch process them?

Hey Armando,
I dont have VIEW>ACTIONS. in CS4 or Bridge.

[rickp1]

Well I found a different way of doing it. Not sure it's as efficient though.

In Bridge I open multiple CR2 files in RAW. Then at the bottom it gives me the option to safe as JPG. I click on that then fill the info in, choose the locations and it saves all the images in jpg.

Hi,

Try Instant JPEG from RAW (IJFR) which will give you jpeg images from raw instantly.

I was really amazed at the speed with which it can do that.

Cheers
