Mass batch conversion

Ash Dunne
Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody could me with a query. The situation is this. I have around 1600 monochromatic images in a TIF format in a bit depth that Photoshop is unable to process. To do what I need to do, I need to convert each of these images into a JPG (jpg is fine, the compression of the data is not an issue).

Does anyone know of a way to carry this out as a batch process, without having to drag each image in indivdually and convert to jpg?

The only other stipulation is that the file names need to be preserved, albeit with the obvious exception of the extension.

I'm trying to help a student who needs this done ASAP so if anyone can help, I'd be extremely grateful.

Kind regards,

Ash Dunne

You can do this easily using the Process>Batch>Convert command in
ImageJ 1.43.
