Raspberry Pi for traveling photography

[vvkozmenko]

Hi,
I would like to use one of my Raspberry Pi for the traveling photography needs.

I plan to have a portable Raspberry Pi 3 with 3.5 inch screen setup. I need to be able to perform the following steps:

1. copy Olympus RAW (ORF) images from SD card to a USB backup drive
2. on the USB drive create JPEG copies of the backed up files (in a separate folder)
3. move JPEGs to the USB drive that can be connected to an iPhone or iPad
4. view JPEGs on an iPad

So, basically, I need to be able to backup ORF files from SD to USB, and convert ORF into JPEG.

I am trying to find an application that would be the best for ORF-to-JPEG batch conversion.

Any help or guidance is highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Val

Thank you, Immarisa,

The link that you gave me was pretty interesting. Some of the Linux packages that they mention at DPReview are available for RP, and some are not. I will need to go through them and try them out.

Again, thank you for your response.

Say, that's an interesting idea to use Raspberry Pi to empty the cards with. I work with Canon cameras and RAW CR2s so my suggestion may not be directly helpful for you, but in experimenting, I was able to offload all of the images from my camera through gphoto2's CLI ('gphoto --get-all-files', for example. Apt-get it and man gphoto2 for more commands). Maybe with gphoto2, ufraw-batch, and cp/mv/rm commands, you could come up with a script that will do all you want it to do.
