[digiKam-users] Exporting RAW as full-resolution JPEG

[Dmitri Popov]

Hi Olivier,

Try to convert RAW files using the Batch Queue Manager. Add the desired RAW files to the manager using the Ctrl+B keyboard shortcut. Then add the Convert to JPEG tool to the job and a configure other settings, if needed. Run the job.

Kind regards,
Dmitri
