Hi,
I just tried it out on raw data from my new Sony DCS-R1. It works!
That is great, thanks for making this available.
So the question is: where are you going with this? I don't know
anything about dcraw and will start looking into it, but there are lots
choices to be made when converting raw data, not to mention trying to
reverse engineer the magic settings of the various manufacturers.
I am new to the digital raw world, but it seems a real can of worms to
me. Each manufacturer has its own proprietary raw format, and does not
disclose the various white balance curves, contrast curves, sharpening
algorithms, noise reduction algorithms, etc that they use. I see that
there are a bunch of raw conversion programs out there with Adobe Camera
Raw (a plugin to Photo$hop) in the lead. What a headache these poor
guys have trying to keep abreast of all the new cameras.
Sony gives away a program to read its raw files, but the program is slow
and appears to be disliked by users. It seems stuck at version 1.0. Why
Sony cares to create a proprietary format for its raws and then doesn't
make the effort to create a good reader is a mystery to me.
