Hmm. I never presumed that moving to digital would be faster to get
my prints done, although it does turn out that way a good bit of the
time. I take forever to select and work my photographs ... ;-)
Compared to scanning film and post processing, it's much faster.
For a good solution to batch processing RAW, you should probably look
at Capture One. I use Photoshop CS2 + Camera Raw 3.1 for this, it
works well once you learn how to do it, but I also use Vuescan which
does very good batch processing as a background process.
