We pass along the JPEG as is (as written by the camera). So any errors are caused by the camera. Also check my comments about the "viewer app" needing to honor the orientation flag. 2. We have had a lot of requests for a user selected destination. It is on a wish list but no promises.... Carl A very quick look at the Leica M8...seems like there is a 320x240 JPEG lurking in there. Not very useful as a separate JPEG. I do not see any other image files other than the raw data. Maybe the camera has a setting to store a large preview into the DNG? Do you know? If not I can find out. Thanks again to all.. Michael Chris,

Could I suggest a few improvements? Is it possible for the utility to read the orientation from the RAW file and get the portrait-orientation images standing up right? Also - it would be really good if I could set the destination for the folders created to a different location, so that I could use this to view RAW files I have archived to DVDs and CDROMS.

Using the Mac version jpeg files are not extracted. Does not seem to work with Leica M8 raw files. Using the Mac version jpeg files are not extracted.

Kinght, The 50D not working is an error on our part. But a DNG is a DNG so that will always work. We do not care what camera the DNG was created from. Likewise the Sony files that we do not yet read, can also be read via DNG. But that is a bit roundabout... Thanks...Michael P. Kinght,

However, some might be interested to know that when I converted the 50D RAW files to DNG, using the Adobe DNG Converter 4.6 Beta, IJRF was able to extract the embedded JPEG from the DNG file. P. Knight Michael,

Knight It could be that the current 50D files are from a pre-production camera, or that you are correct in that IJFR will have to be updated (no promises). Please send me a raw file or a link to one soI can take a look. Thanks.. for file please send to here: htpp://dropbox.yousendit.com/raw email is ijrf @ rawworkflow dot com Brad We have posted this info here at Scotts blog but we will add it to our documentation.

I am a teacher and the "unofficial" photographer for the school I work at. This tool will save me heaps of time and many nags from staff and students. I did have the import settings on Lightroom to have a medium JPEG preview on DNG creation and wondered why I was getting images of only 1024x685 from the full image size of 3872x2592. But when I changed this to full JPEG preview on DNG creation the extracted JPEGs were full size. You might want to include this in your notes/manual/FAQ. Brilliant little program thank you!

It will be a Godsend in the field when I download RAW files to my laptop and want to review them in the evening. My question is whether you plan to update the program for new cameras. I ran it on some Canon 50D RAW files that I downloaded, and it did not find the JPEGs in those. Great utility.

But I do agree that it's much less user-friendly if you're not used to the command line, and I thank you for making your tool easy and accessible. One DSLR at a time, we'll be eradicating RAW+JPG from history ;-) @Michael: sorry if my post came out wrong, I am of course not complaining about IJFR or anything, I was just reacting to the first comment asking about Mac OS X support, and thought that maybe linux geeks would like to know how to do more or less the same.

Also DCRAW. The point of IJFR, is free, lean and mean, no learning curve (not many photographers could deal with exiftool), and Win and Mac. So for 99% of the folks, I think that IJFR will serve the purpose better than any other. For specialized purposes, or command line geeks (not that there is anything wrong with that), there was Yarc (10 years ago), and many other still available. I hope that IJFR serves the masses well. BTW, we use segments of DCRaw as part of our code base, as do most raw applications and utilities. That is why I mentioned David Coffin in my piece. And Phil Harvey has done a masterful job with ExifTools. I use it on a regular basis for specialized tasks. Thanks for your post... Michael Alexandre,
