Thanks, this is super useful!

Cool, thanks! 👍

Thank you very much for sharing very useful!

this is awesome. Thank you.

Very useful, thanks! 👍

One could extend the command above to

for i in *.CR2; do sips -s format jpeg $i --out Converted/${i%.*}.jpg;done

so that the converted file of example.CR2 will now be named example.jpg instead of example.CR2.jpg.

awesome

Glad I found this today, took hundreds of raw photos of the eclipse. Thanks so much!

To parallelize (assuming brew install parallel has been done):

parallel 'sips -s format jpeg "{}" --out Converted/{/.}.jpg' ::: *.CR2
