edited-raw-to-jpeg

Converts camera RAW or DNG files (including Adobe Camera Raw edits!) to JPEGs

Converts a folder of RAW images to JPEGs and copies to another folder, macOS only. Tested with DNG and CR2 files with XMP sidecars with Adobe Camera Raw edits.

Will attempt to convert all files in the input folder (excluding xmp files of course).

Requirements

Adobe DNG Converter

Download it from https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adobe-dng-converter.html The script assumes it is placed in the Applications folder ('/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter' is run)

See the manual here

ufraw-batch

brew install ufraw

Or head to http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/Guide.html

Usage

./dng-to-jpeg INPUT_DIR OUTPUT_DIR

eg:

./dng-to-jpeg in out

How it works

There are RAW to JPEG converters out there, but I couldn't find one that would perserve Adobe Camera Raw edits in either .xmp sidecars or DNG.

This script first runs the RAW files through Adobe DNG Converter which creates an embedded JPEG in the raw file. ufraw-batch is then used to extract this JPEG.
