I have 95 dng photos that I want to convert to jpgs. Is there a simpler way rather than opening  each photo in PS then saving as a jpg?

    If you use Lightroom you can use it to export them to jpeg All at the same time! You could always use the trial version if not to do it.

    I have to ask:

    If you are going from dng directly into jpg without editing, why shoot raw at all?

    The op does not say the files are not edited.

    - Situation # 1 : new camera with raw format unsupported by the relatively old software: Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge, Elements, and batch conversion to DNG from DNGconverter. All files are edited.

    - Situation # 2 : the camera saves raws in DNG. All files are edited.

    - Situation # 3 : jpegs are converted to DNG from Lightroom, Photoshop or Elements. Yes, there are good reasons for that. One is that the editing process is the same as with raws, so that Elements Organizer can open jjpeg files directly in ACR, something it can't do unless the files are opened and saved from the editor. All files are edited.

    That also tells that using DNG does not always mean shooting raw...

    By the way, no problem to convert DNG to jpeg in Elements editor (convert multiple files) or organizer (export). I suppose Bridge would be another option as well as several excellent and free third parties editors.

      Hi dglas,

      You can use Photoshop's "Image Processor" script to batch convert multiple photos at one time. Here's the Adobe help page, which also includes a video tutorial:

      Process a batch of Photoshop files

      Image processor coverts a variety of formats, including camera raw, to JPG, or PSD, or TIF, or any combination of these, while allowing you to resize the images, convert to sRGB, add copyright info, and more.

        Starting with raw files it doesn't work to batch in photoshop, because each file will open in camera raw first and then you have to manually open each file from camera raw to photoshop.
