Okay, so I really need to batch all my RAW into JPG for storage and scrapbooking purposes (we're talking 5999 RAW images mind you). So I have a MacBook Pro on OSX Leopard with Adobe CS4 Design Suite Standard (Photoshop and Bridge mostly) and Digital Photo Professional. A lot of my RAW pictures I have under one main directory called "RAW" with hundreds of subfolders. I would really like to avoid going through each and every folder to batch to JPG, that would take forever. I have tried to filter by RAW in Bridge to collect all subfolders with RAW files and got that far, but then I go to Tools>Photoshop>Batch and Photoshop suddenly closes (probably WAY too many to batch).
Anyways, if any of you have some ideas, let me know what you think. Thanks again guys. ;)

| I would try to import it to Lightroom (assuming you have one) - it should be easy to import from all folders at once, and then export all of them as jpegs |

| In Photoshop Elements under the "File" tab you can go to "Process Multiple Files" and do this I believe. I would think if they have this feature in elements then it would be in Photoshop. |

I'm almost positive this is the function I discovered in CS3 the other day. (I clicked on it for the first time after several years of using the program...go figure.)
Anyway, it gives you the option of selecting a folder (if all your folders are in a single master folder, this should work - just be sure to look for a "apply to all subfolders" checkbox), selecting the output options (JPEG, TIFF, etc), and then you tell it okay and it goes to work.
When I used it, I had it take edited TIFFs and process them to JPEGS with a max side of 800 px, saved to a new folder on the desktop. Worked great...wish I'd discovered it years ago.

Where is the "process multiple files" hidden?

| In Photoshop, I use FILE -> SCRIPTS -> IMAGE PROCESSOR. I'm not sure you can have it convert subfolders automatically, though. |

Aha, that's what we're looking for! Thanks! In CS4 there is an "Include Subfolders" checkbox. Cheers!
