How to I batch convert .CR2 (raw) photos to JPEG?
cross-posted from: https://monero.town/post/640742
Issue - I have 282 .CR2(raw) photos that need to be converted in batch/mass to same time but don't know how. OS - Vanilla OS 22.10 (Ubuntu)
- Can this be done with darktable? If so how?
- Any software recommendations for this? I rather not use online tools for privacy and compression reasons.
Yes, it can be done with dark table! Do any edits you want, apply those edits across as many images as you want (you can do this on the light table UI) and then bulk export via the light table UI. I can provide more detailed instructions tomorrow if you need them. Screen shots will be from windows though.
yes, please if possible
First time trying a reply with multiple imgur hosted files. Let's see how this goes. Note that this is... very abridged and assumes you know your way around Dark Table editing otherwise. If not, there are tons of posts and videos on that.
Note that if you don't edit the raws and export them as is, they will probably look... very flat and boring.
Step 1: click add to library
Step 2: navigate to the directory containing your images and hit add to library
Step 3: after you're done with your edits, you can copy the "history stack" across images. Note that this only really works well for groups of images taken with very similar exposure settings, lighting, scenery, etc
Step 4: select the image(s) you want to export, configure your export settings, and click export
