Given the torrential rain today, I've decided to devote whole day to adjusting workflow of pics. First chore was to convert my thousands of pics on ext hard drive from jpegs into tiff files.... v boring for 10 mins until I read up on the batch action command
I set the action to convert to tiff, chose a folder with approx 300 pics in, set the automated action and ....... lo and behold.... I went of to make lunch, have a coffee, do few chores, came back to pc and they're all done

How amazing

Gonna use this funtion a lot more methinks and am now glad it's raining
