I'm after a program to convert 1400 raw files to jpeg in one go,i haqve tried a few but they leave there watermark on the converted pictures.

Is there anything out there (free) or very cheap to do this please.
 
I'm sure there would be but you could always use a free trial of Lightroom or something like that as they all have free trials.
 
Cheers guys,I never use light room and I have it installed but don't have a desktop icon so forgot all about that,I'm converting them now,very easy process but does take a while :)
 
Don't forget you need to apply some post processing to the RAW files otherwise you are just converting a RAW to JPEG with no noise reduction, sharpening, lens correction etc...
You can do this on one picture, then sync it with the rest, or which ever ones require that style of processing. i.e night and day ones might require different processing.
 
I don't tend to process my pictures at all,it was my brothers wedding and i shot in raw just in case i needed to process them,i forgot about him viewing them (he dosent have a pc) in raw so that's why i had to convert them to jpeg so he can view them on his tv via a usb stick.

You can always set up a default import setting which has a few basic settings. This is what I've done, it turns on lens correction and adds a couple of bits like colour saturation as RAWs are usually a little bland/grey. I've found this massively improves the picture if I need a quick export to jpg with no other tweaking - but I'm far from a professional :)

That's what I do if I'm giving someone access to a bunch of images... then if / when they picked out the ones they like best I will edit them properly.
 
Perhaps set:

Auto tone
Bit of sharpening
Bit of noise reduction
Lens correction
Chromic abberation removal

Save this as as preset and select it when importing. It will automatically apply of of those settings. Then exprt as JPEGs.

As you learn more, you can make different presets and perhaps make individual tweaks to certain pictures.

Shooting in RAW, then just converting to JPEG I would say gives a lesser photo than if you shot in JPEG on the camera.
