[Rawstudio-users] Settings for Batch export?

[r bartlett]

Thank you!  This is great information.  I will play around a bit and see what else I can discover.

As you say, it would be fantastic to be able to type in the precise settings by hand, in addition to using the sliders.  I hope that will be added to the list for future adjustments!

Many thanks!
