OKay i might resubmit as an actual tutorial. But anyone who hates not being able to look at their raw files or having to convert them all to a viewable format so they can look at each one and quick pick might love this.

Using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and ACR 3.6

Using Adobe Dialog select all raw files.

Hit Select all and Save (by preference use 8 bit per pixel)

Set to File name and use JPEG or desired output

Now sit back and watch it count how many it has left (right hand side) itll as i did save all the fullsize images in default conversion as jpeg's.

Now you can look through your images and reference back tot he raw file for individual editing if desired!

Hope this helps anyone under a workload or afraid of raw!

I have Windows Raw Viewer on my computer. I simply transfer my images from my card onto the computer and look at them straight away...in RAW mode, just as if they were jpegs.

Doesn't Raw Viewer work for most RAW formats?

It works on Nikon and Cannon ONLY!

Now we can one at a time in windows preview see the thumbs which are like 8x6 pixels LMAO.... but yeah um no

This way also provides FULLSIZE images incxase u just want to mass convert and upload to Flickr or sumthing.

But us Fuji users are screwed! Except for using Fuji SOftware!

Since you have CS2 why wouldn't you just use Bridge?

Okay you know what address that to anyone who says they hate RAW, they cant see their files withotu covnerting them or using proritary viewers.

Anyone who is afraid to use raw or doesn't like the extra workflow steps.

This wasnt about me just something simple to get over that little hump if you like i can just clear the post make it blank like "..."

And you know what i hate you lol. Wasnt even aware that bridge could thumbnail files..... i should just change it to "Use Bridge"

Thanks lol.
