Seems a very short sighted approach. But consistent with making short term profit. This is a great forum for sharing information and alternatives.
I am an amateur photographer who puts slideshows together of family travels. A typical trip can result in 1000+ saved photos. Historically I have been saving in the camera as JPEG. After several resaves to the computer, slideshow software, etc. , I have experienced the adverse compression effects of JPEG. I have been inspired to reconsider shooting in RAW based on discussions in UHH. Is there a photo software that allows you to batch process, say 1000 RAW photos, and get reasonable results like the camera JPEG in a short amount of time? These would be photos taken on different days with a multitude of light conditions and even some with flash. I would like to save them as TIFFs and circumvent the JPEG compression effects.
On select photos, I would then want to manipulate the RAW file further and optimize the photo.
