How to convert raw to tiff multiple folders automatically

Hi Spohle,

Here's how I would do this: I'm going to assume that all of these are in a master folder? If not, do that.

Now open the Master folder in Bridge and you'll be looking at your sub-folders.

[Now, if you haven't set this already, go to Windows (menu) and scroll down almost to the bottom and be sure that Path Bar is checked/selected.]

If you look at the Path Bar (at the almost top of the screen), you'll see a "greater than" symbol just past your Master Folder. If you click on that you'll see the option: "Show Items from Subfolders." Select that.

At this point you'll have to wait for all of the images within the subfolders to display. Depending on how many there are, this may take a bit of time. Once all of the images are selected, you need to sort them by type. To do this go to the sort dropdown menu on the right upper corner and select "Sort by Type."

Now click on the very first image, scroll to the bottom of the images and press the shift key and click on the last image. All images should be now selected.

Finally go to Tools menu, drag down to Photoshop -> and select Image Processor.

A window will pop up. From here you can select where you want all of the completed TIFFs are to be placed, any size constraints you want, any actions you want to set, any color space you want, etc. Then click "Run" and go have lunch, dinner, cup of coffee, a good book, whatever you want to do while this is taking place.

One thing I was just thinking of as I was finishing this was "IF" you want all of folder "A" tiff images to be in Folder A and all of Folder B tiff images to be in Folder B, this will not work. 

Hopefully some permutation of this will work for you.

Let me know how well this worked out.

Use Bridge's View menu > Show Items from Subfolders command. This will create a "flat" view of your files that is no longer based on the folder structure.

You can use the view menu to hide folders and the filter panel to refine visible files.

Select all required files, open into ACR, select all files in the filmstrip sidebar, then use the Save Images... button and select the various output options.
