Let's say I want to spend the minimum amount of time in front of the computer. So I set up a batch conversion routine that pretty much does what the camera's JPEG engine would have done - e.g., use the white balance in the metadata, use automatic exposure, and adjust contrast/sharpness/saturation based on my pre-set preferences. Is the result still going to be better than the out-of-camera JPEG?
In other words, is RAW-to-JPEG going to produce better result even when the development is mechanical without any individual post processing?
