Convert .mrw to .jpg

[Guest richard]

I need to convert some 200 mrw files (these are minoltas raw format image files ) to jpg to allow aur office staff to use them. Does anyone know of a converter that will allow me to do this as a batch job. I can convert them in photoshop but they require manual intervention.

You can do this on Linux with ImageMagik...

Have you ried Irfan View? http://www.irfanview.com It does pretty much everything. Some camera makers like to hang onto their proprietaty codecs though.

I have a Konica Minolta Dynax 5D that can take RAW images in the .mrw format - ICBW, but I think that manual intervention will always be needed. Because no processing has been applied to the image data, I think you have to give it some input in order to interpret the data into a usable picture.

 

Do you have the Dimage Master Lite software from the camera? I guess this may be able to batch process RAW files to jpgs.

Why do they need manual intervention? Surely you can setup a macro to deal with them without any intervention?

Pfft.

 

for file in *.mrw; do mrw2jpg "$file" "$file".jpg; done
