SYNOPSIS

ufraw-batch [--out-type format] [--out-path dir] [options] files

ufraw-batch is the batch processing mode of UFRaw (Unidentified Flying Raw), a tool for reading and converting camera RAW image files. It processes multiple RAW files non-interactively, applying adjustments like white balance, exposure compensation, and color correction before converting to JPEG, TIFF, or PNG output formats.
The tool supports RAW formats from most major camera manufacturers through the dcraw library. Adjustments can be specified via command-line options or loaded from previously saved UFRaw settings files, enabling consistent processing across large sets of images.
Output quality, compression, and bit depth are configurable. The tool integrates with GIMP as a plugin for interactive RAW editing.
