Separating RAW from JPEG
Dec 25, 2013 11:02:12 #
When I take a couple hundred pictures I want to save the RAW photos in a separate file, but they are downloaded with the jpeg next to each one. Is there an easy way of doing this without dragging and dropping each one? I have Photoshop CS3,
Elements 9.

After they're all downloaded, you can list them by Kind so that all the jpgs are together and all the raws are together. Then highlight all the raws in a group (by highlighting the first and shift-click the last) and move them to another folder.

Arrange the folder by file type. That will put all of the .jpg files in one group and the .cr2 in another so you can select them all at one time.

If using Windows: once they are separated by file type, hold the shift key down while clicking the first, then the last file in the list. That will select all in that group. Then drag the whole selection to another folder.

Saving RAW and JPG images to separate cards in the camera solves all these issues.

If you're shooting raw + jpeg-basic, you can just shoot raw and then extract the embedded jpeg file to a separate directory. The extraction is almost instantaneous, much faster than copying the jpeg files from your camera/card.

Thanks for the help, I have tried several of the answers and solved the problem! Thanks folks! A real time saver!

You can sort by type and the Raws will sort together, then you can clicl on the first raw, then shift click on the last and copy/cut then together

Windows explorer does it for me, make a sub directory, display details in the parent directory, click to group files by type, cut and paste to the new/sub directory, done, Bob.

Quatsch, there is no embedded JPG in a RAW file. A RAW file consists of raw data only, more or less straight off the sensor without any in camera processing. When you make a JPG from a RAW the conversion software takes the raw data and applies some pre-defined settings to produce the JPG. Different conversion software will produce different results!

Ok, try this:
1. Download and install Instant JPEG From RAW
http://michaeltapesdesign.com/instant-jpeg-from-raw.html
2. Take a picture in raw + jpeg-basic
3. Right-click on the raw file, select "Instant JPEG From RAW", and "extract".
4. Compare the extracted jpeg with the jpeg-basic from the camera. Without applying any settings, the images will look the same.
5. Run IJFR on several hundred raw images, note how fast it runs, compare that to how long it takes for any software to convert the raw images to jpeg.
