Many photos shot with wrong colour setting. Batch convert?

I shot numerous photos yesterday with my camera set accidentally to "Vivid" instead of "Standard" with the result that they are all oversaturated and with too warm a colour temperature.

To convert them individually is something of an onerous task.I have XNView but can't find any way to batch convert them?

heic to jpeg conversion weird thing going on I am trying to batch convert iPhone 14 photos to a smaller size to give to people that don't have support for heic monitors. I don't know what I did in the past, but my photos are showing up as a .jpeg in photos on my Mac mini. I think there is some pre conversion going on that I don't know about. I can't use the HEIC converter app now. Even when my pics are jpegs, they are still a little blown out with the .heic codec. I want to run them though a batch in photoshop to don't some correcting and down converting. Before I do that, how do I get my images to remain as .heic in my photos library? I want to keep that format for the originals before I delete them from the cloud. P.S. Rather than batch in photoshop, can photos do color correcting, auto: tone, contrast and color: and downsize so I do't have to leave the photos app? Thanks.

Apple Photos incorrectly processes RAW files from Fujifilm X-Trans sensors I am trying to process raw files from my old Fujifilm X-T10 in Apple Photos. I usually shoot raw+jpeg pairs so I'm able to compare in-camera and external processing. Attached are two crops, one is from a jpeg file, the other is from a raw file processed by Photos. As you can see, there are quite a lot of green/magenta artifacts in the processed image. To my understanding it looks like Photos does not take X-Trans sensor structure into account and applies incorrect demosaicing algorithm. Even when the processed images have no obvious artifacts they still look noticeably blurrier even with sharpening applied which indicates that some high-frequency details have been lost due to unnecessary debayering stage. The Fujifilm community has been dealing with this issue for quite a long time and there are multiple software solutions of varying quality and price point that correctly process X-Trans RAF files, but I'd like to be able to use iCloud Photos as my sole photo processing and organizing tool -- for example, it's very convenient to import new images from SD card right from the iPhone with camera connection kit straight to the photo library and get them on all devices within my iCloud account without extra steps. I am able to provide this raw+jpeg pair to the software engineering team for the purpose of refining the algorithms, please contact me directly if needed. And yes, I know there are ways to convert RAF to correctly demosaiced DNG files before importing them to Photos. I don't want to do this because it introduces an extra step in the process and works only on the Mac and not on the iPhone or iPad.

Incorrect HEIC colors on other devices Photos from an iPhone 13 mini saved in HEIC render with incorrect colors seemingly everywhere else, tried OneDrive web viewer, Google Drive web viewer, XnView, GIMP. If the photo is exported as a JPEG, the colors are fine. The problem seems to be the color profile. The HEIC file lists Display P3 and the JPEG has sRGB IEC61966-2.1. GIMP reports that the Display P3 profile is embedded, but still renders incorrect, oversaturated colors regardless if the profile is converted to sRGB or kept as P3. Conversion via ImageMagick using D60, D65 or DCI P3 ICC profiles also produces incorrect results. How do I get the HEIC displayed in correct colors or converted to JPEG?

Problem solved . . . XnView has a companion app called XnConvert which does the job.
