advice needed on batch files in cs3

[bigbikes]

Hi all. I'm hoping someone might be able to give me a bit of advice. While spending a few weeks in Tassie I took over (yea wait for it) just over 16 gig of shots. Now my problem is the family wants to see them :( Oh great.
Tell me, is there an easy way that I can just convert and save large amounts of them from a cr2 file into a jpeg all at once, just so I can put them on a dvd for everyone to watch.
But I don't want to loose the raw files. if there is an easy way it can be done in cs3,please let me know. Dont want to have to do it 1 by 1 :(:(

Lightroom is one way. Get the 30 day trial to sort them out ;)
Great to meet you and Sue!

I must post those one of you before the chopper ride as well :th3::th3:

If you already know how to do this to one files then for multiple files what you need to do is record a set of actions using the action pallette. The use this action in the batch menu

I could labouriously write do the details of how to do this but there are many many tutes on the net and they write it better than I could. Try this one:-
