Extracting jpg from raw

[AllenBirnbach]

I saw a posting on a review site recently about a software that would extract the jpg from the Canon raw file. Now I cannot find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

PC or Mac?

The Canon software supplied with the camera can do it I believe, and save the JPEG as a file. I don't use that, however, so someone else will have to provide the specific program name for you.

What I use (on PC) is a freeware program called Irfan View, IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide, which will very quickly extract the JPEG from the raw file for viewing. It makes scanning through a folder of raw files quite easy.

You can save the image from Irfan View if you like, though I believe it will do the JPEG compression again and so the image may be slightly (though not visually) degraded.

Open Raw in DPP
goto "file" in upper left corner
Select convert and save
select foldrer to save to
select file format in save dialog box
OK.

Sounds like that would convert the raw and save a JPEG, Paul. That's one way to do it, certainly, but I thought the original poster wanted to extract the JPEG that's already in there.

FastStone (FastStone Image Viewer, Screen Capture, Photo Resizer ...) can do that. The advantage of FastStone is that it has CMS (Color Management System) and many simple functions available by moving the mouse to the screen side - histogram, exif and many other.

Surprasingly FastStone can recover jpeg from damaged files - even when RAW itself is damaged.

BreezeBrowser Pro - Browse and Organize Digital Photos, Fast Thumbnail Browser can do it by hitting either using the menu Tools | Extract embedded JPEGs, or by shortcut, Shift Control X.
