Bob, Do your work in the raw converter, not on converted JPEGs. When you get the hang of RAW you'll be able to reduce the time you spend on making conversions substantially. Get "The Book."
Bob, yesterday I converted something like 30+ pics using a new and an established preset in the ACR converter. Total time to the finished images about 2 minutes. The rest of the time spent was the usual final cropping and tweaks. When you get the hang of it, it can be fast. Don't give up just because it's slow and unfamiliar in the beginning.
