i took 135 shots of magnolias that are all in raw. i'd like the girl who provided me with the trees to have a disc of the pictures. is there a way to save them all (in addition to the raw ones which i'd keep) in a format like jpeg. thanks so much, jen

What software do you have at your disposal? It is likely something you have has a batch process you can set up that will go through them and save a copy of each one of them.

Most raw converters will allow you to batch convert the whole lot in one operation. It usually goes something like. Select all, Save as, File type, Pick the destination, set options like jpg quality etc.

i have cs3 and lightroom but didn't understand what to do. i've never "batched" anything. thank you for your responses. jen

lightroom!? oh wow, that's makes things like really really easy...

...let me type it out.

Import/open the photos you want to export into lightroom like normal.

File --> Export.

As "export location", just put where u want your photos to go. For example, My Pictures. Then check the "Put in Subfolder" and type in what you want the name of the folder for the images to be called.

Naming: doesnt really matter.

File Settings --> Format --> JPEG. Quality --> 100 (or less if you want to save space.

Image Settings --> sRGB, 300 pixels per inch, uncheck resize to fit.

Click export. Files then export to the folder u named in My Pictures. Copy that folder onto a CD...or whatever.

after following the above instructions and having it all work so easily i'm a bit shaken by the slowness of my own brain. duh! thanks so much, noah!!!

I'm using the raw format with Lightroom and I'm really happy with it :-)
