Converting RAW images to JPEG

[RedEd1]

Can either Photoshop or Lightroom be used to convert a batch of RAW images to JPEG?

None of the slideshow products I use can handle RAW images and I don'r want to buy another product, just want to do a relatively quick conversion.

When RAW images are open in Adobe Camera Raw (the plugin Photoshop utilises to process RAW files) one can select them and click the »Save Images«-button. (edited)

Thank you for your prompt reply. I will be trying this out tomorrow.

In Photoshop use the image processor. You can initiate the convert process by using Bridge:

tools->Photoshop->image processor

Look here for Photoshop:

Process a batch of Photoshop files

From Lightroom:

Select the files you want to export and choose Export.

If you do not work with Lr, it's probably easier to use the Bridge/Photoshop way. If you are doing a lot of RAW processing, the Lr path (Import to the Lr catalog, edit, export) is easiest and fastest.
