Batch file change cr2 to Jpeg

[learjet035]

Is there a way to save all my raw files to jpeg. I want to give about 400 pics to my girlfriend but she has no way of viewing raw. Plus for future viewing I would like to have jpeg as well. Will take 4 ever if I have to do each one. Thanks!

Sorry using CS2

There are many ways to skin this but since you most likely to have DPP I'll go that.

Select one picture and make all the correction you think you need, such as WB and Exposure (brightness) and/or curves. Right click and save recipe to clipboard.
Select all other photos with similar looks and right click to paste recipe.
Do this until all the photos are adjusted. The reason for this is that not all photo require the same WB and exposure adjustment.
Select all the picture that you want to batch process.
Select the Batch Process radio button.
Apply all that apply to your needs in the pop-up window, such as Folder and file type and DPI.
Run Batch process.
And you're done.

I find this to be the fastest way. I tried PhaseOne C1, ARC (CS version), RSE and this is the easiest.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by DPP. I have adobe cs2 with bridge. When I select all my only options that look feasible is batch rename. I then choose extension and type in .JPG it works and puts them in a new folder and they are .JPG but when I open them the computer says it could not recognize the file. Any ideas? Thanks again

ok, I think I've got it. Open all the pics in the raw viewer, then select all, then save, then select .jpeg in the dropdown and it goes to work. Very cool. Thanks for the initial help!

DPP=Digital Photo Professional
it come with 20D, XT,1DMKII camera
if you have the older version you can update. Its a big improvement.
