[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 636565, member: 12496"] Exiftool will extract the embedded JPG from raw files, but it's a big complication, avoidable by just shooting JPG in the first place. JPG images apply the camera settings automatically. Raw images do Not apply the camera settings. Why shoot raw if you're not going to use it? One possible wishful reason heard is to archive them for the future after which you might have learned to handle them? The purpose of raw is specifically to NOT INCLUDE the camera setting adjustments, such as white balance, color profile, contrast, etc. The purpose of raw is to process and adjust the image AFTER we can actually see it, to know what helps it, without having to undo wrong stuff. To see and know what we're doing is a huge plus, but only if you're going to use it. The difference is that we can set white balance and Vivid and whatever before we shoot image, hoping about the imagined results. Or we can make those settings later in raw, when we can see what it does, and still make corrections. Otherwise, if we don't, raw is simply an unprocessed image. If the automatic camera adjustments and the JPG is what you want, then seems obvious to just shoot JPG. Nikons CaptureNX had the ability to read the camera settings the the Exif with the raw file (but which were NOT applied to the raw data), and then apply those same camera settings automatically later when the raw file was opened. But again, if that's the goal, why not just shoot JPG in the first place? [/QUOTE]
