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.
Your best bet would be
imagemagick
in command-linehttps://blog.nathantsoi.com/article/Batch_Convert_CR2_to_JPG/
Since you mentioned darktable I assume you already know this, but depending on the camera’s raws and the presets that imagemagick has for converting these photos the results might be undesirable if not inspected or tweaked. Not disparaging any advice given here, just mentioning that generally raws are edited on a case by case basis to fix camera artifacts and color issues. Hope the solutions others have posted work out for you!
Gimp has a batch mode and is open source iirc
got any instructions?
I’m a bit of a basic batch myself
That has to be deliberate doesn’t it?
I use XnviewMP for different things. It has a ton of functionality and they have other products as well that might help. https://www.xnview.com
Throw them into darktable and export them to JPEG
for 282 photos this will take ages
It’s actually pretty quick for me with 95% JPEGs. But your mileage may of course vary.
You can just select them all and export them into a folder. Maybe overnight?
is there an equivalent to Directory Opus on linux?
