Hi there. I usually shot in jpeg but decided I was going to be mainly shooting RAW from now on but forgot I was still in RAW mode when I snapped about 30 or so pics of some visiting friends.
Took the SD card to get some prints made. They can't read the files. Oops they are in RAW.
Go back to the house, open photoshop etc. They can't read it from the camera. I make a folder in my portable hard drive then put the raw files in there then grab them from there using photoshop to batch import/convert to jpeg.
ok
#1. It took 15 minutes to put 30 or so RAW files from the camera to my hard drive. (Waaa?)
What happens when I need to import 500??
#2. It took as long or worse for photoshop to the convert each and all those to jpeg.
I can't imagine taking hours to upload hundreds of pics, apply actions etc. Even in batch is taking forever. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is with these larger files?
(Dreading shooting this party coming up if this is the way it goes with even just uploading)
