convert to dng

[pfogle]

Hi, sorry if this has already been dealt with, but I can't figure out the best way to convert ERFs to DNGs using batch processing.

any hints gratefully recieved.

PS tried 'batch' in PS, but it keeps prompting me before saving 😕

Regarding your batch file problem, is the Override Action "Open" Commands box checked? And when you created the batch script did you save a file before stopping the script?

Yeah, I did that, using the save in ACR with the dng option. I'll have to read the instructions! But I guess this is possible, right? Do others here batch convert to dng? I'm getting a bit twitchy about the ERF format disappearing. Tell me I'm paranoid 🙁

Can't you just download Adobe DNG converter from the Adobe website?
It's a great standalone batch processor, I use either that or Bridge/ACR..

Clive is right. The free Adobe DNG converter does the batching easily without hassle.

I Convert ALL my RAWS from several cameras to DNG and them delete the original RAW. This results in a condiderable space saving on your hard drive and the 'new' RAW is archived after creating tifs or jpegs to work with. It's a no brainer.

Give it a go, you'll be amazed at the easy workflow.

Cheers,
