Reply to: LibRaw (dcraw?) orientation tag wrong?   5 years 2 months ago

Thank you very much Alex ;-) !

And followup:

dcraw_emu/dcraw.c also accepts user_flip in degrees (e.g. 90, 270, or -90), to handle this too, add these lines before snippet in previous message:

if (flip > 89 || flip < -89)
{
flip = (flip + 720) % 360;
switch (flip)
{
case 90: return 6;
case 180: return 3;
case 270: return 8;
default: return 1;
}
}

Here is small code snippet that may help you in flip->orientation conversion:

int arr[10] = { 1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 8, 6, 7, 1 };
return arr[qBound(0, flip + 1, 9)]; // add 1 and set limit to 9 to handle out of range values

Ah thank you Alex, it was a bit confusing, but I guess this is due to my own assumptions ;-) ...

Kind regards,

Yes, libraw imgdata.sizes.flip and tiff:Orientation tag are different.

OK, opened it in phothoshop.
I do not see 2x2 patterns (typical for bayer CFA). If non-bayer CFA is used, than LibRaw/FRV Custom Camera would not help, it targeted for bayer CFA only.

Reply to: CMYK Raw Image Data   5 years 3 months ago

The file sample you provide *mostly* contains 0xFF bytes (not all bytes are 0xff, but ~62% from beginning is).

It is not easy to analyze such samples, do you have another one (with some image with well-known object with known non-neutral colors).

Generally, CustomCamera may work for FRV, but we need known colors to guess CFA.

I've now checked also images from the 800D and 77D models:
DNG-Converter converts to 6024x4022, and DCRAW reports 6024x4020.

And I found that with both models the additional top rows of the DNGs are black!
So the correct size seems to be 6024x4020.
Since there is no chance to have a common and correct size, I think it might be the best to not change anything.

Thank you for your feedback and attention to details. Case closed.

I'm afraid it's more basic than magic.

Reply to: guidance needed to improve image quality   5 years 3 months ago

Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I feared there was some magic I was missing.

Reply to: guidance needed to improve image quality   5 years 3 months ago

Typical today raw converter (e.g. Adobe's and/or in-camera JPEG generator, I'm not familiar with rawtherapee) applies S-shaped curve (with different parameters for different cameras/different ISO setting on same camera/different other setting e.g. DLO on Nikon cameras).
LibRaw/dcraw default rendering does histogram shift to the right only.

Here is your sample with +1 correction with highlights compression: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsimdf5alou55qy/Screenshot%202019-01-25%2020.2...

Reply to: guidance needed to improve image quality   5 years 3 months ago

Are you saying that 03.nef is underexposed and the dcraw rendering is normal?
Then the question remains, how did rawtherapee know how to compensate?

Here is a Sony A7 raw, the corresponding 'out of the camera' jpeg, and renderings by dcraw and rawtherapee:
https://kornelix.net/downloads/DSC00574.ARW
https://kornelix.net/downloads/out-of-the-camera.jpg
https://kornelix.net/downloads/dcraw.tif
https://kornelix.net/downloads/rawtherapee.tif

The rawtherapee rendering and the 'out of the camera' jpeg are nearly identical, whereas the dcraw rendering is too dark. Is this normal and expected? (my libraw implementation gives the same result as dcraw).

commands:
dcraw -w -T DSC00574.ARW
rawtherapee-cli -t -b8 -d -c DSC00574.ARW

The second one (_03.nef) is underexposed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2jmz4niipiv552v/Screenshot%202019-01-25%2017.4...
(gray square on girl's cheek is RawDigger sample, average green/red is ~5EV below saturation point).

After exposure correction the image is more-or-less OK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g76re8v887rnfen/Screenshot%202019-01-25%2017.4...

Reply to: guidance needed to improve image quality   5 years 3 months ago

Yes the 1st one is not bad, only a small loss in color.
Please check the 2nd one.

Reply to: guidance needed to improve image quality   5 years 3 months ago

Checked the 1st one:

This is screnshots from screen, so in (my) display colorspace (near-sRGB)

I do not see any big problems here, although LibRaw's color profile may differ from Nikon's one

Reply to: guidance needed to improve image quality   5 years 3 months ago

Thanks for your help.

Here are some raw images and their corresponding jpeg images.
These are all from https://www.photographyblog.com/previews/nikon_d850_photos
(most of the photos on this web page have the same issue).

In my small collection of RAWs from various cameras, some of them are fine after libraw conversion, some have brightness and color problems (i.e. dark and/or faded). The Nikon D850 is one of the problem cases.

The following produces images almost identical to the JPEGs:
$ rawtherapee-cli -d -t -b8 -Y -c

Could you please provide some (properly exposed) samples with 'problematic' color/brightness?

Reply to: I still get LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_UNKNOWN from master branch   5 years 4 months ago

LibRaw 0.19.2 + provided ./configure works fine too (thumbnail extraction works even for not supported cameras in most cases).
We're not responsible if one
- use unknown version of autotools
- modifies ./configure results.

Reply to: I still get LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_UNKNOWN from master branch   5 years 4 months ago

Using your make procedure works!

But the document on this site says run ./configure, and since there is no configure file, I run mkdist.sh and it does create one.

Could you please update the build procedure?

Many thanks.

Just tried that, simple_dcraw returns 0 for Sony A73 ARW file...

Could you check it under macOS yourself?

Edit: simple_dcraw -L does return Sony A7 III as support camera
