Sorting through RAW images...
I took a lot of photographs at my son's wedding last week. Those that I like I have processed in C1P and displayed for them on Flickr. The couple would like to browse the rest of the 500+ RAW images in case there are shots that they would like to have even though they may not be technically wonderful. We are not close-by so how can I let them view the raw images without processing every one to jpg?

Try the Make Web Contact Sheet option? That will create JPGs as part of the process - I am assuming they don’t have C1.
Or use the view as slide show and share screen over the internet?0 -

It may depend on your definition of "raw images".
If "raw image" is the sensor data, a raw image development tool needs to be involved between the raw image and the display, with or without intermediate non-raw (jpg, tiff, png...) image files. You may discuss where that raw developer is located in a chain between your disk and the display, but you can not avoid it.
If "raw image" is a raw file from a digital camera, things may be slightly different. A raw file usually contains at least two jpg images in addition to the sensor data. Those embedded jpgs are created by the camera with the camera user's jpeg-settings applied. One embedded jpeg is typically a small thumbnail image for file browser software to show what we used to call a contact sheet. The second embedded image is usually a full size/resolution image for display in "non-raw" image viewers. My Nikon cameras embed a full size/resulotion jpeg in every raw file and I believe Canon, Pentax, Leica... cameras do. Sony is an exception as they embed a smaller (reduced size/resolution) jpg in the raw file.
If the software used can present embedded jpegs, you could possibly just use the raw files. Browse the thumbnails, "open" one to see the full size jpg (no raw image involved at this stage).
Embedded jpegs can be extracted into separate jpeg files. There are several software applications/utilities that can do that for selected files. Here is a link to a web page that describes two of the kind. If you happen to have access to Photo Mechanic, it is quick and easy to extract embedded jpg images from raw files to separate jpg-files.
Embedded jpgs may have more compression applied to them than you would normally apply in a C1 recipe, but embedded jpegs are quite ok for preview and culling.

I forgot to include the link mentioned above: https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photog ... jpg-raw-2/0 -
Thanks all. Very much appreciated. Trying the Web Contact Sheet right now. I think it will do what I want. 0 -
Contact sheet made, zipped up and sent off. Thanks everybody. 0
