I suspect it is a difference in the type of shooting we do. When I shoot a wedding or event, I will be processing somewhere between 300-1,000 images at a time. The vast majority are keepers - just don't know if they are sellers. Many times, the most artistic shots are not the ones people buy. They buy based on WHO is in the picture more than how good the picture is.
When I first tried C1, I only did it on a few images and also found that it seemed a bit much. Later, I tried again with a batch of 200 images and suddenly found out why it had good workflow. It really was designed to be a high volume, batching system. Most of the others were designed to process a single image with batching added later. Based on your description of how you shoot and work, I suspect that it wouldn't be a great benefit to you. I did run through the RawShooter tutorials and it seems much more up your alley. Basically, it does a fast slideshow of your raw images with you quickly marking them with a priority 1,2 or 3. Then you go back through the 1's and adjust and convert them, then the 2's and 3's if you care to. It supports some batching stuff too, but more like culling style. It's free right now, so it wouldn't hurt to try. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, April 15, 2005, 10:21:31 PM, you wrote: BL> Hi! >> You can batch process with the PSCS Raw Converter.
