Batch converting .jpgs to tiffs

Why Convert?

If you are working in PSE or PS with a .jpg file every time you save the file as a .jpg you will re-compress the image. and loose detail and more Jpg artifacts will appear in the image.

Here's how to load more than one file into Camera Raw.

Highlight them in the Bridge, you can do this several ways.

 

1. If the thumbnails are side by side Hold down the shift key and click on the first thumbnail (Left Mouse Button) and then Click on the last file…. Then Click on one of the thumbnail files with the RIGHT mouse button... In the pop-up menu select "Send to Camera Raw"

  

2. If the files are not side by side

Hold down the Control Key (PC)
or the Command Key (Mac)

 

Click on each picture you want to send to Camera Raw

 

Then right click on one of the highlighted thumbnails, from the pop-up menu choose "Send to Camera Raw"

You'll get a robust conversion dialogue box that will allow destination, renaming and several file types...
