Bartch Convert RAW to DNG using Photoshop (not Adobe DNG Converter)

[PutinHuilo]

Is there way to batch convert 2000 camera raw files to DNG using only Photoshop without installing Adobe DNG converter?

Hi @PutinHuilo

I know you can do this in Lightroom and also Adobe Bridge.

In Photoshop, the only way I know how to do this (without involving scripts) is to load the files all at once into Adobe ACR, select them all, and then save them to DNG. I am not sure how many files can be done at one time yet assume there would be a an associated memory limit. So, if going direct to ACR instead of using LR or Bridge it might have to be done in smaller batches so not fully automatic. This is of course for raw files. The same could be done for TIFF and JPEG files if you change the Photoshop Preferences to have those two additional files types go to ACR first.

I did not do a step by step of this procedure yet thought I would start with what I knew.

Thx. I installed Adobe DNG Converter its more straight forward way of doing it.
