exiftool 120129051125_100001.arw -jpgfromraw  -b > 120129051125_100001.jpeg

The result is empty, but a jpg can be created with eg dcraw or ufraw-batch.

Same problem with a Canon PowerShot S110 and cr2, but it works with Pentax and PEF.

ExifTool does not generate a preview image.  It only extracts embedded previews if they exist.

Thanks, how can I check easily if a preview is embedded?

[Phil Harvey]

I do this:

exiftool FILE | grep Binary

But if you don't have a 'grep' utillity:

exiftool -previewimage -jpgfromraw -otherimage -thumbnailimage -a FILE

should list most of the common embedded images.
