Batch Convert RW2 To Jpg Silently Resizes Images

Post by metal450 »

Using XnView MP Windows 0.95 64-bit, I'm attempting to batch rename some RW2 files to Jpg. The software is lowering the resolution of the files, despite no settings to do so. My exact procedure:

1) Tools->Batch Convert
2) Input tab, Add the folder or files
3) Actions tab, (None)
4) Output tab, click "Source folder"
5) Output tab, Filename={Filename}-jpg
6) Output tab, Format=JPEG/JFIF. Settings...
...Quality=100
...Progressive=OFF
...Optimize Huffman table=ON
...DCT=Float
...Subsampling factor=1x1, 1x1, 1x1 (best)
...Rebuild embedded EXIF thumbnail=Yes
Use estimated quality=No
7) Convert

The input raw files are 5208x3904. The output files it produces are only 1920x1440.

Is File > Format settings... > Read tab -- Camera RAW -- Use set to Full size ?

That fixed it.

Seems like that setting should really be available on the batch conversion dialog too, or at the very least a note that if it's set wrong, it won't actually convert the full-size raw (which would clearly be the expectation). I spent like an hour pulling my hair out not able to figure out why it kept resizing the output...despite my not having specified "Resize."

Is there some other easier way to get to this setting than to have to dig into the settings every time?

When converting raw to jpg, obviously I want to actually convert the actual raw, not the preview. But when just casually viewing photos (i.e. using it as a viewer), loading the full raws is incredibly slow. So I now find myself having to constantly go back & forth, changing this setting back & forth. VIew photos: on; Convert photos: off; View photos: on again; Convert photos: back off again. Digging through the settings dialog over & over...
