Hi all, I'm wondering if any of you knows a method to programmatically extract the JPG image from a RAW file. I would like to write my own program to generate archive CD's.
What I usually do is create one or more CD's per topic (shooting session or theme) with 3 dirs: RAW, JPG & THUMBS. I shoot in RAW + Small JPG Fine and I use the Canon SW to extract the embedded jpg to the JPG directory. The THUMBS dir contains the .THM files renamed to JPG. So far, it's the best compromise I've found to organize my files and once it starts to grow I can still 'scale' it to DVD-R. I think that in the future I'll link the thumbs with a database and some keywords and a CD-Id for easy retrieval. BUT.... the method is tedious and takes a lot of time for fairly defined steps: [create DIR's, move 600MB Raw's into RAW, extract jpg to JPG, copy THM->Thumbs, rename THM -> JPG, write CD]. Having a strong background in Java programming, I was thinking to extend Ant or even the JAlbum framework to do the work for me and even generate a HTML presentation in case I have to give a disk to somebody. For all that, I need a method to extract the JPG's from the RAW. Any hints?? -regards, Gerard. PS: I'm using a 10D, should that info be important... :-) * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
