Convert from Canon CR2 raw to PNG?
Hi all.
I've had a canon EOS350D for about a year now, and up until a month ago
I always used high quality JPEGs for my images. I've recently gone the
way of the raw file and will never look back.
I use photoshop CS2 to convert my images to JPEG - normally not even
opening them into Photochop, just using the import plugin and saving to
JPEG.
I have been investigating the use of PNG files and think that I should
be using these instead of JPEGs to preserve detail in my photos.
Unfortunately to convert an image to png in photoshop, I either have to
export as a TIFF (45MB) and then batch convert to PNG or open into
photoshop and then save as a PNG. Both ways lose the EXIF data and are
slow (not to mention the TIFF way requires a temp folder of 5GB for the
contents of a 1GB card full of raw files).
Is PNG the way I should be going or is there a better format I should
use?
If PNG is the best way to go, is there some other way of converting
from CR2 to PNG? Bear in mind for 99% of my photos, all I adjust is the
exposure, brightness and white balance before I save them (and Gasp!
Delete the CR2)
Thanks
John
