Title: strip jpg-preview subfile from raw
Post by: freakout on April 17, 2013, 03:53:06 AM
these new 24/36-megapixel monsters produce very large raw files.
even the embedded jpg-preview files are considerably large ~3mb!
it would be very nice to strip these large jpg-previews from the raw,
expecially for all lightroom users where the previews are cached by
lightroom and all these embedded preview jpg waste disk space.
is there a way to extract the preview subfile and write the raw with
all other exif lossless conserved?

Yes.

Sorry, I can't be more specific until you tell me what type of raw file we're dealing with.
