|
| '/photo/' is the path of my JPEG directory, which kimdaba is looking at.
| '/photo_originals/' is the path to my RAW files. You'll want to replace
| 'crw' with the raw extension of your camera.
|
| replace 'path/to/target_dir' with the target path, and then delete
| 'list_of_files' and drop your kimdaba selection with the courser there.
|
| You may want to tweak or remove ImageMagick's 'unsharp' settings.
|
| Any tips that would improve my final image quality would be greatly
| appreciated.
