Need a batch to make jpg's from raw (NEF) files

I have a map with 100 raw/nef files.
How can I automate the process of making jpg's from them.
I have CS3
Thanks

Here's one way:
Open them all in Camera Raw, hit the [ Select All ] button at the upper-left, then use the [ Save Files ] button at the lower-left of the dialog to save JPEGs.

Why are the jpgs that are generated in my camera better than the ones i create from the nef file in camera raw?

i shoot raw+ jpg in camera, for some reason the jpgs that come from my camera (nikon D300) always seem better than the jpgs i create
from the nef files in camera raw. i am saving at the highest quality. the jpgs from the camera seem to have more detail in highlights
better color more vibrant, sharper. could my camera be doing some enhancements to the jpgs before processing?

I had similar thoughts back when I first started shooting raw. Really, it's just a matter of editing to your personal taste.
Yes, that camera applies lots of presets before creating the jpeg, as Trevor.Dennis mentioned. Also, as he said, you can far surpass native jpegs with raw.
If you need it more vibrant, make it so. If you need to bring down the highlights, do so. Need sharpening? Apply some.
Here is one of my edits that I made a tutorial of: Sunrise Raw File Edit - Adobe Lightroom - Landscape Photography - YouTube. It is one of my less dramatic edits, but still a good one.
I don't want to clutter this thread with links, but if you take a look at my Facebook page, I put a lot of before and afters up in January and February. A Google search for Benjamin Root Photography will bring it up.
I shoot in raw, and highly recommend it.
I'll leave you with a nice NEF RAW file before and after:
BTW, D300 is a nice camera, I've used it...

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

Raw (NEF) files from Nikon D7100 - Work on Elements 10

Has a update or patch been made for using raw (NEF) files from Nikon's D7100 camera?

Photoshop Elements 10 does support Adobe Camera Raw 6.4.1 to 6.7 and minimum requirement for Nikon D7100 is ACR 7.4.

I believe you need PSE11 with the Camera Raw plug-in 7.1 or newer.

RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3. Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
Please post details of the version you are using at present.

Import of RAW (NEF) files from Nikon D 90

Hi there:
> I am new to lightroom and just got a 30 days trial version. I desperately try to import directly RAW (NEF) files into lightroom 2. I have downloaded Adobes latest RAW converter. I also checked all available support areas (hope at least I found them all and also read Adobe's and Nikon's memorandum of understanding of working closer together in the future, but I am looking for help now..) I use a MacBook Pro Leopard...
Can anybody help?

You will need the 2.1 RC1 beta to use the D90 files. I don't know if you can
patch the trial or not.

You can download the beta 2.1 there.

Need to insert values into a table from a XML file

Hi,
I'm an Oracle 9i/10g DBA with quite a few years experience, but I'm new to XML and dealing with it in database terms. I've been given a project that entails pulling XML values out of a file (or 100's of them) and storing them in the database so that they are searchable by end-users. The project is classified as secret so I'm unable to upload the specific XML or any info relating to the structire of the XML or the table I will use to insert the values into - sorry!! So, I've created an XML file with a similar structure to help people understand my predicament.
The end-users only need to search on a subset of the total amount of columns from the table I'll insert data into, although the XML file has a lot more, so I dont need to store the other values - but I will need to store the name of the XML file (or a pointer to it so I know what XML file a particular set of values belong to) in another column of the table along with its associated values.
I've been using the XMLTABLE function with some degree of success, although I had better succes using the XMLSEQUENCE function. However, I found out this is deprecated in 10g and replaced with XMLTABLE, so I guess it's better if I use this in case we ever need to upgrade to 11g.
The main problem I've been having is that some elements in the XML files have multiple values for the one record when all the other records are the same. In terms of storing this in the database, I guess it would mean inserting multiple rows in the table for each element where the value differs. Here is a dumbed down XML file similar to what I've got along with the other SQL I've used:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+

CREATE TABLE xmltest OF XMLTYPE;
INSERT INTO xmltest
VALUES(xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'test.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
Consequently, I need to...
1) Retrieve the results from the XML file for all 3 warehouses where multiple values for the same sub-element are shown as 2 rowsthe result set. (I am guessing there will be 4 rows returned as warehouse sub-2 has 2 different elements for <WarehouseName>.
2) Build a case statement into the query so that regardless of the sub-element name (i.e State or County), it is returned into the 1 column, for instance County.
So, if I run a query similar to the following...
select y.WarehouseId, y.Town, y.County, y.Area
from xmltest x, xmltable('/House/Warehouse' .......
I would like to get results back like this...
ID Town County Area
1 Southlake Texas 25000
2 Poole Dorset 40000
2 Solihull West Midlands 40000
3 Fleet hampshire 10000
Sorry for the non-formatting but I hope this all makessense to someone out there with what I'm trying to do.
I appreciate any help whatsoever because, as i said before, I'm totally new to XML and trying to read the vast amount of information there is out there on XML is all a bit daunting.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaun.

I had a look in the dump file for anything obvious, but nothing really stands out. Is there anything obvious in my code that I'm missing or something else which you may think could be causing this error, e.g in the regular expression regexp_substr?
Many thanks,

Extract slides(jpgs?) from a pptx file

Can I extract the individual slides from a pptx file such that I can use them as inserts in an iMovie? If yes, how do I do it?
Thanks
Hal

I'm not sure how it's done in Powerpoint, but in Apple's Keynote app (similar to Powerpoint), you can export the slides as individual JPEG files (or PNG or TIFF). These can then be imported to iMovie.
I think that the pptx files can be opened in Keynote (if you have it). The procedure in Keynote is as follows:
From the menu select Share > Images
From the drop-down panel, choose the desired format (JPEG, PNG or TIFF)
Click Next
Enter a "Save As" name and location to save to
Click Export
I assume that Powerpoint has a similar function. Look for a menu item such as Export.
If all else fails, another option is to use screenshots. With the image showing at its largest size on screen, click on the key combination Command>Shift>4 then click and drag the crosshair diagonally across the image, starting in one corner of the image. As you release the mouse button, the screenshot will be saved to the Desktop and should have the same resolution as the original.

Need help: how to make a package into a jar file?

I tried to make a package into a jar file by using:
jar cf a.jar packagedirectory
But when I import one class of this package in an other application, by using:
javac -cp path\a.jar; app.java
the compliler can not find the calss.
The interesting thing is if I do not put the package into the jar file, it works well.
Here is my sample code under path D:\b\b1
package b1;
public class Son
     int x = 10;
     public Son(){
     public int getX(){
          return x;
and the application code under path d:\b
import b1.Son;
public class Father
     public Father(){
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Son son = new Son();
          System.out.println("Hello World!"+son.getX());
Thanks for any advise.
Xin Cheng

You must make sure that you are in the right directory
when you do your jar command to create the archive.
[home/trejkaz/proj/test/classes]% jar -cf a.jar
path/to/package/*.class
Thank you very much.
Yes, I did as what you said, but it does not work.
Here is what I did:
1. Edit Father.java in D:\b
2. Edit Son.java in D:\b\b1
3. Compile Son.java
4. Complie Father.java
5. Make the a.jar by
command jar cf a.jar D:\b\b1\ (I cheked the content of the a.jar, it seems right.)
a.jar is in directory D:\b
6. Delete Son.class in D:\b\b1
7. Run Father.class by
command: java -classpath D:\b\a.jar; Father
error message is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: b1/Son
at Father.main(Father.java:11)
What is the problem?
Thanks again.

Why does the Adobe Standard profile make a mess of old NEF files?

Recently I've been reprocessing some old NEF files taken with the Nikon D50 camera years ago, and I was startled to find that the Adobe Standard camera profile does a bad job on them: the photos come out muddy-looking, really unacceptable, with too much yellow and magenta. I can fix the problem by choosing the Camera Standard profile, which gives acceptable results. However, I believe that Adobe Standard is generally recommended by Adobe, and I wonder what the problem is here. Does anyone know?
I currently use a Nikon D7000, and Adobe Standard seems to work well enough with that camera.
Later: After checking and comparing more carefully, I think that perhaps I prefer Camera Standard with the D7000 too. Adobe Standard is certainly acceptable with the D7000, but Camera Standard gives blue skies of clearer blue, and less exaggerated reds. So the best fix for me is probably to make Camera Standard my default for all cameras.
Looking around the Web, I see various people complaining about too much magenta with Adobe Standard, although other people are happy with it.

Yammer P, thanks for the input. I have been working with the DNG Profile Editor since the first version was available. I also started using the Passport software when it was first available. I first worked on a profile for the D200 and after many attempts I finally have one that works great. The Camera profiles did not exist at that time and the D200 does not have Picture Control Profiles, I believe that was first available with the D300. Adobe did generate Picture Control Profiles for the D200 and they are also available in Nikon Capture NX2.
I currently have a D700, and have spent a lot of time working on profiles for this camera. I have used the DNG Profile Editor's Chart Tab to generate profiles for most of the Camera Profiles and Adobe Standard. I find that Adobe Standard profile is brighter than the Camera profiles by about 0.25 stop. After working on this for about 2 years I have decided to use the Camera Neutral with a modified tone curve and slight reduction in saturation as my starting point and no changes in hue. I also generated a modified Picture Control profile for Neutral using the Nikon Picture Control software that has the same characteristics and loaded it into the camera. I get good agreement between jpg's from the camera and the nef file that opens in ACR without adjustments. The tone curve I used only has three points - the In/out values are 27/22, 127/127, 228/233 and saturation was set to -5.
I don't understand what Adobe changed when they genrated the Adobe Standard Profile instead of the ACR4.x versions, but I like the ACR4.x version better.

Exported originals turn Black! I have an awful situation where my exported RAW (Nef) files from a special event have turned solid black. This happened while I was importing another job.

A few days ago I got back late with my days work and went about importing it into Aperture as per usual. It was a big job so while the import was taking place I decided to export another job that was wanted the next morning. This client needed origonal RAW files (NEF nikon) so I selected 'all' and chose 'export originals' from the File menu. These then went to my desktop, ready to be uploaded to a client FTP. So.. this is where the scary stuff started. The import went fine but the export was a disaster. They appeared (on the desktop folder) with the preview as cover flow being the same as the import. When trying to open them they come up as completely black images. Ok, stay with me, this gets worse. Going back to the Aperture project, many of the correctly displaying previews have now turned black also, remaining previews when clicked on turn black. I've checked in the package contents of the library and have found the import master files correctly archived. The master files for the export though (the ones I'm desperately looking for) still view as the same image as the import. They do however have the file number of the exported files. I hope this makes sense. I really need to locate these missing original NEF files. Please help..

You can just try it with one image to start with, perhaps even one that youaren't having a problem with just to get the idea.
From the Aperture Manual:
To update JPEG previews for an image selection
In the Browser, select an image or group of images whose JPEG previews you want to update.
Control-click the image selection, then choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu.
You can also force the rebuilding of previews for an image selection.
To force the rebuilding of JPEG previews for an image selection
In the Browser, select an image or group of images whose JPEG previews you want to force Aperture to update.
Hold down the Option key while Control-clicking the image selection, then choose Generate Previews from the shortcut menu.
Link to manual: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=6%26sec tion=15%26tasks=true
I'm not certain that it'll help your problem, but it rang a bell with me as I had some images with black previews in an old library I was looking at last week and I used the force procedure to get the previews back how they should be.
EDIT: Added link to manual

RAW NEF files imported into Aperture from a Nikon D70 are dark

I imported one roll of images straight from the CF card from my Nikon D70 into Aperture.
I also imported them into Nikon PictureProject. (the current application I use)
All the NEF's in Aperture are darker than the NEF's in PictureProject. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Also, any NEF that I have previously edited and saved in Nikon Capture Editor, do not display any of the changes when imported into Aperture. Interesting that the Finder shows the thumbnail correctly. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks, Scott K.

I've imported a few of the NEF files I've gotten from my D2X, and for the most part, they look fine. A little darker than when displayed in Adobe Bridge and ACR, but not that much darker. This is probably just the way the image converter is interpreting the RAW data. A couple of minor levels adjustments for me, and they look fine.
As for Aperture not "seeing" the changes made to a RAW file in Nikon Capture. That may be due to the way Capture applies its changes to the file. If when you make a change, Capture simply adds the adjustments to a side car file, etc., and doesn't change the original RAW file (which it should never do), then Aperture is only reading the original RAW data. The side car info is not understood by Aperture. At least not now.
This is pretty much the same way ACR works.

Elements 6.0 won't open RAW *nef files from Nikon D40 - help!

I tried to open *nef files from a D40. Even though I selected RAW files in the open file menu, AE6 gives me an error message and won't open the files.
How can I get these files to open with AE6?

Hmm, that usually indicates that you need to get a newer version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in. But according to this tech note:

the D40 needs at least ACR 3.7. PSE 6 ships with 4.2, so you should be able to open them.
I suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this tech note, which will likely have you update your ACR:
