So I went hunting for a way to convert the images using the command line on the Mac. Here's what I found:
1. Converting an image via command line: There's a tool called "sips" that does this (and much more) on the mac! To convert a file from RAW to JPG, you just need to call something like:
sips -s format jpeg IMAGE.NEF --out IMAGE.jpg
2. Getting the right name: Iterating a list of files via command line is easy, getting just the filename in order to change the extension requires google! Here's how to do it:
for i in *.NEF; do echo "${i%.*}.jpg"; done
(curious on how it works? Check this doc)
3. All together now: To convert all the files in the current directory, do this:
for i in *.NEF; do sips -s format jpeg $i --out "${i%.*}.jpg"; done
Let me know how the script worked out for you!
