I have jpg images taken with a FLIR thermal camera and extracting raw images stored in the metadata by using: exiftool -rawthermalimage filename.jpg > filename.tif in Windows 10
How can I batch process this to extract raw data from all images in a folder?
cheers,
Javier
Hi Javier,
I hope you were using the -b option.
To do this for all JPG files in a folder, try this:
exiftool -rawthermalimage -b -w tif -ext jpg DIR

Sorry to resurrect this zombie thread.
I have been trying to convert FLIR SC-660 images (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/enhancing-flir-image-quality/msg2897132/#msg2897132) using this magic incantation. It used to work but now I can't seem to make it behave. DIR seems (now?) to be mandatory; is this the case?
For instance,
D:\Thermal\2021>exiftool -rawthermalimage -b -w tif -ext jpg D:\Thermal\2021
will scan the image(s) in the current directory (D:\Thermal\2021), but only when I specify the DIR.
I was under the impression that DIR was (a) optional and (b) to specify the output directory - am I wrong?
Just for clarity I am using version 12.30 on a Windows 10 machine; exiftool.exe is in a directory in the Path and I'm running the commands from a command prompt box.

The directory to scan is not optional, never has been. Exiftool needs to know where it needs to look for files to process. You can use a single dot
. to indicate that you want to process the current directory.
In order to control where the thermal images are written, you need to include a full format string, e.g.
-w /new/path/%f.tif instead of just the extension. See the
-w (
-TextOut) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#w-EXT-or-FMT--textOut) for details.
