Raw Convert 1.1
Function: Converts Camara RAW files to Photoshop or PPM format.
Author: Jason Swain
Input: (Files/Folders) Most camera RAW file types
Result: (Files/Folders) Output image files in specified format
Notes:
Version 1.1 fixes a little annoyance with having to tab off the text fields before the value is saved.
Updated to 1.0, rotate now works and a bug with home directories has been fixed.
Copy the RawConvert.action file into either ~/Library/Automator or /Library/Automator.
Download
One might argue that a raw file converted without intervention is still better than a JPG. In any case, it’s just an action that performs a function. Some might find it useful, some not. C’est la vie.

I find it strange that the very thing that makes RAW so superior is being bypassed by this action. The whole point of RAW is to give you control over how the files are converted from RAW to TIF or PSD or whatever. And this action takes you right past that control part and creates files that are no longer capable of giving you that control.
What am I missing here?

Version 1.1 is out, it fixes a little annoyance with having to tab off the text fields before the value is saved.

Fast Half size mode does exactly what it says… cuts the image in half, not the resolution but the actual image. 4″x 6″ becomes a 2″x 6″

There is now an update to version 1.0. Rotate now works and a bug with home directories has been fixed.
