Hi all,<br />
I'm owning a Pentax K10D DSLR camera, which records JPEG and/or RAW files. RAW files might be Pentax format or Adobe DNG.<br />
The RAW files are quite large and the post-shoot-process is as follows:<br />
<br />
- Transfer files from SD-Card to Notebook (very slow process, takes several minutes...)<br />
- View photos and delete some of the files<br />
<br />
Now I'm looking for some more, easy + fast functions:<br />
<br />
- Mass-Convert DNG to JPEG format (to place pictures to Google, send them out to friends etc.) =&gt; this might be done with IrfanView<br />
- Dedicated photo editing (here Adobe Photoshop seems to be the 'only' and expensive choice - are there any better/cheaper???)<br />
<br />
My focus is on FAST processing!<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

Fast photo (batch) processing

Photo and imaging software is used to edit and compose raster images; Adobe Photoshop, which dominates the market, has its own topic. Common actions include cropping, slicing, retouching, color replacement, masking and erasing. Other programs include Apple Photo, Corel PaintShop Pro, GIMP, Serif PhotoPlus, Pixlr, PhotoScape, Picasa and IrfanView.
