RAW processor render array?

[ishootRAW]

Ok so I have 3000 RAW's that need to be adjusted by tomorrow morning. Nothing much just bump the contrast and the sat a bit. Distortion correction would be nice too. however there is not way my workstation could do that in 14 hrs. BUT, I have about 13 GHZ worth of render array that I use for my 3d renders, So does anyone know of RAW software that uses a render array?

None that I am aware of but you could ftp a thousand via a zip to a couple of friends and have them run the batch process on them and that would cut your process time down by 2/3rds.

Ok looks like I will just manually send maybe 400 a piece to the machines, I was just wondering if there was a way to streamline the process.

Why do you need to process so many - I'd be very surprised if they were all keepers? (I concede it is possible, but it seems to me like a good culling would also be useful here)

Hit play.

Profit.


Was that so hard?

This seems like the type of thing that you could possibly script using something like Imagemagick, especially if you have a job control system that you can feed scripts to.

Give the controller a list of files and the Imagemagick command to run on those files and let it dole out images to the array as necessary.

Thats kinda what I was thinking.

I was doing a shoot for free, for a cub scout camp. besides that 40 or so good edits, the program director wants ALL of my shots on a dvd. hence wanting to give them jpgs, and not RAWS.

well for 3k photos, I think they could wait a day or 2 extra.
