I am looking for a MAC friendly

RAW image converter. i use nebulosity for processing and have recently shot in TIFF, but they take up so much card space i want to shoot in OLYMPUS RAW .ORF, then easily convert a batch to tiff for procesing - i only have PS elements..can it be done

Dunno about Oly, but the Sony software that accompanied my DSLR converts, does yours?

Did your camera come with native software? If it did, it must have batch processing ability.

You will find that the software which comes with the camera provides the best quality when it comes to processing the RAW format, as, in general, it is proprietary to each company.

People ruin their images by not using the stock software supplied with the camera.

alright, will give it a try - i hated the software when i got the camera -is was i thought the big let down of the camera, the software was dated & clunky to use

Daniel,

have you looked on both the adobe site and the olympus site for a raw plugin for elements?

I had to install one for PS before they updated camera raw to include the oly .orf format.

thanks Al, but can i batch convert in PS elements to stack in nebulosity?

Sorry, I miss understood.

I'm not sure what PS elements can do. Can you write a script or batch process in elements?

what i meant was you wrote PS elements can process RAW - but i wanted to go from camera to nebulosity (which uses TIFF) - and i thought you were suggesting PS elements could batch convert to TIFF . sorry for the confusion
