Converting tif to jpg

Hey folks,
I got a problem.

for every trip or vacation I do some fake hdr images in photomatix. I used to save them as tif files. But since I'm running out of disc space I want them to be converted into jpg.

Is there a Software finding tif files and converting them into the source folder to jpg, deleting the tif file and keeping the exif data?


Thanks winam

You should be able to do a search by file type. If you're using Windows you can open up your Library window; select the main folder (i.e., Pictures), click on the magnifying glass in the search field, click on the word "type" in the drop down menu, and then select ".tif".

If you use Lr you can search the catalog by file type, export all as jpeg while having it add the jpegs to the catalog, and then deleting all the TIFF files (which can be done from the catalog as well).

I'd imagine that to automate doing everything you are talking about "scripting" would come into play.

You can then drag all of those .tif files to the 'Input List' of FastStone's 'Batch Convert' tool. Once it has converted them all you can just delete all of the .tif files (preferably after checking that the conversion has worked.

Memory is pretty cheap. Why not get a 1 or 2TB external HD and keep all your TIFFs? You should have a back-up anyway, even if you do convert everything JPEGs.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I started reading the OP.

This should not be a photographers problem.
