There are several programs to convert raw to jpg. Photoshop, Lightroom and lots of others. .....here is just one such program that will do one or many without opening, fro Nikon. http://www.neftojpg.com/
This is just a file convertor.


One easy, free program I haven't seen mentioned yet is Instant JPEG From Raw.http://michaeltapesdesign.com/instant-jpeg-from-raw.html. I've been told it extracts the jpeg imbedded in the raw fiile. All I know is it works and really fast.
ACDSee has a batch file convert option that changes the file type.

Thanks for another......As I said, there are plenty of converters that you do not need to open inside a program....as was said earlier.....

As I mentioned, I was strictly speaking, perhaps too much so. There is no way to take a raw file and in one step, convert it into a jpg. You have to open it in an intermediate application, (lightroom or Photoshop) then save it as a jpg. There are other file types in technology(but not many) that can be converted straight over to another file type but a cr2 or dng file cannot be or converted to a jpg without intermediate steps. I do the same thing every day to get jpg's. We all do it. Precisely because there is no one step process or something as easy as change the file extension. I can change a .doc file to a .txt file by changing the extension. Will it complain? Yes. Will it look funny? Yes. But it will open and be usable. If I did that to a .cr2 or a .dng, I would have an unusable file on my hands.

This discussion appears to me to be a matter of semantics. Change, Convert, Save As - convenient ways to say the same thing! We have a RAW file, we want a .jpg of that same image. Depending on where we open it, we have to Export [LR] or Save As [PS] in order to extract that .jpg from the RAW file. With or without first editing! Unless you shoot in both RAW and .jpg, which IS an instantaneous creation of a .jpg from the RAW, I agree - you have to go through some external program to do that. Whether it is LR, PS, or some other conversion program!

See what I am getting at.


Others have mentioned this but I believe the best solution for anyone wanting to be able to quickly and easily distribute some or all of the photographs they have taken for some occasion is to set your camera to save RAW plus JPEG. The JPEG files are small compared to the RAW files so very little additional camera storage space or processing time is required. The JPEG photo will normally look much better than a non PP RAW file converted to a JPEG file and be immediately available.

Yes, we are all here to both learn and help others. Some of the discussions are very interesting and helpful!

Does you Camera have a RAW + Jpeg setting, if so, use that and you should have a Jpeg photo saved along with your RAW image.

I found that a raw file is about 5 Times that of a jpeg file, so just a minimal amount of extra memory is needed.

For most programs, other than Lightroom, when you hit the save button, it will ask you the file name and then the extension. The pull down menu will show jpeg. Select that. Done.


Exactly the way I do it, and after saving in JPEG, I still have my original RAW photo, unscathed!
