Raw to JPEG

[Jalva22]

Is there an easy way to save a large group of raw photos in one folder as jpegs? I have Elements 8 and Lightroom 3, but am coming up empty.

Thanks!

If the folder is imported as Raw files into Lightroom 3 then click on the Library tab and select the folder of Raws you have imported. You will see all the thumbnails. Click on any thumbnail and then press CTRL-A (ie hold control down and then press the A key). This will select all your files. (Alternatively CTRL or SHIFT click to select only those you wish to export.) Right-click the thumbnail and you will see the EXPORT command. Click this and then EXPORT.... and you will see the export dialog box. This will show you the number of files you are exporting along the top of the window bar. You have to select a folder to export to and then select File Settings to select jpeg for export and the color space sRGB or ADOBE etc. When you hit the export button all your files will be exported as jpegs.

Quick note, sRGB is the web standard, Adobe RGB is a larger colorspace and is better for print, BUT some printers/labs may still require sRGB.

Thank you both!
