Automator actions: RawConvert
RawConvert from Information Graphics is an Automator action to convert RAW files into Photoshop PPM. Since it uses dcraw.c, RawConvert shares code with most other RAW converters out there, including the Camera Raw plugin, so you get reliable results. You can also adjust some of the most frequently manipulated settings directly from pulldowns and text boxes in the action, although vitually every dcraw flag should be available for tweaking in the action source. If you use Photoshop CS2 regularly and tend to edit a picture at a time, this may not prove very useful, but for those who use a different imaging suite or want to run batch conversions from someplace other than the command line, RawConvert is a pretty neat little action.
