Paul Many thanks for this, and also to David, Graham, Tim and Mike for their suggestions.
The original question was OBO a friend who is just starting on the digital path and is trying to minimise expenditure. Hence the request for freeware/shareware solutions to this particular batch processing problem. My advice to him was to upgrade to PS CS and use Adobe CR with Russell Brown's batch processor. For ~�150 you get access to new tools AND a 'free' top notch RAW processor thrown in!! <BG> I know that there's been a lot of debate on this (and other) lists as to the relative merits of C1 vs ACR but, to my mind, the PS7 - CS upgrade road gives you many more 'bangs per buck'. I went down this route some months ago, and am extremely pleased with ACR's output, but there's always more than one way to skin a cat in this game!! I've used C1 SE and was impressed by the quality of o/p. Horses for courses, as they say. Again, my thanks to all who responded.
