Yes, LibRaw performs automatic maximum adjustment to prevent 'pink clouds' (and other highlights) problem seen on many cameras where real maximum varies with ISO or other camera settings.
To turn it off, use '-c 0' switch of dcraw_emu (or set imgdata.params.adjust_maximum_thr to 0.0).
raw_color is, indeed, to avoid color matrix multiplication in convert-to-rgb loop.
This flag is set not only in this ifdef, but in some other cases too (NikonScan files, Leaf HDR files)
Apologies I reversed the ifdef in my head, I should have pasted the else branch, it too sets the same variable, which appears to be part of the context of dcraw rather than the LibRaw code which is testing in convert_to_rgb_loop the value in the libraw_internal_data.internal_output_params.raw_color. I had imagined the intent was to avoid the matrix multiply when the matrix is unity.
Re subclassing - fine with me I'm probably going to combine that and some other code into a single pass over the memory as easy wins in performance.
Thanks for your efforts in producing the library much easier to use than the dcraw code direct.
You don't have to port you simple app on windows, it is simple enough and doesn't contain and system dependent part.
You should just download latest libraw binary and compile your app with proper toolchain (mignw or visual studio) and use proper include and library options during compilation (-I"your_libraw_include_path" -L"your_libraw_lib_path" -lraw options for mingw/gcc or "Additional Include directories" "Additional Library directories" and "Additional libraries" for Visual studio project settings)
This code is under #ifndef LIBRAW_LIBRARY_BUILD, so it is not compiled into LibRaw (because LibRaw is compiled with LIBRAW_LIBRARY_BUILD defined).
LibRaw's code snippet is mostly the same, but without document_mode into account. And it is not wrong.
Histogram: LibRaw calls convert_to_rgb_loop() virtual function. If you do not need histogram calculation, you may provide your own convert_to_rgb_loop() in derived class. The histogram is needed for automatic brightness correction (if used).
I am doing a project about raw file processing.I do not know how to use C++ to write source code to modifies some parameters of RAW file . I have thought about the question for days. Can you give me some suggestion about it.
Thank you!
There are two phases on raw processing:
- raw data decoding (decompressing)
- and postprocessing (black subtraction, white balance, demosaic, color conversion)
For Canon files, decoding is relatively slow, thanks for huffman compression used. RawSpeed is faster than LibRaw for these files (but you can use RawSpeed indirectly via LibRaw).
Postprocessing speed varies from method to method. For timelapse (e.g. video output in 1080p?) you don't need full resolution, so 'half' demosaic may be used.
The LibRaw's benchmark is 'samples/postprocessing-benchmark.cpp' which is included in LibRaw since v0.15
LibRaw (and dcraw_emu) with default settings uses automatic maximum level detection (to prevent 'pink clouds effect', 5 years ago I've written small article about it, it is in Russian, but google translate will help: http://blog.lexa.ru/2010/03/28/taina_rozovykh_oblakov.html )
To turn this detector off (and produce results nearly the same as dcraw) use -e 0 switch of dcraw_emu.
cam_xyz[] matrix is the same matrix as DNG 'ColorMatrixN' (XYZ to Camera). For most cameras (ones without built-in color data) it is identical to Adobe's Color Matrix for Daylight.
I thought I had found CFA_PATTERN in imgdata.rawdata.iparams.cdesc, but it appears that field is used for the general description of the chip. I don't seem to be able to find the CFA_PATTERN equivalent.
Thanks.

LibRaw is definitely not the solution for your problem

Thank you!
LibRaw opens files in read-only mode and never modifies file data.
Try to use exiftool (or other tools) to modify image metadata.
use imageProcessor.imgdata.params.no_auto_bright=1 before processing;
http://www.libraw.org/docs/API-datastruct-eng.html#libraw_output_params_t
Most likely you need Visual Studio runtime installed (or just copied into program folder)
Could you please explain your problem in more details?
There is no any runtime check to check demosaic pack compiled in.
Make sure that you compile LibRaw with LIBRAW_DEMOSAIC_PACK_GPL2 and LIBRAW_DEMOSAIC_PACK_GPL3 defines.

Any news on this? At least i confirm something's up with tiles, also in CA_correct_RT.cc,
`#define TS 256 // Tile sizez
Worked great alex, you're the man. No problem, you need to make a donation button somewhere, i'd get your some coffee ;).
Actual camera list is returned by LibRaw::cameraList() call (http://www.libraw.org/docs/API-CXX-eng.html#cameraList )
There is no list on site, because the list updates frequently (if you use development branch), also actual list depends on actual version you use.
Nikon D610 is supported in LibRaw 0.16, D750 in 0.17(-Alpha1)
Also, to use LibRaw as library you definitely need to spend 'more than minute'.
Sure, I mean to say -c 0:
-c float-num Set adjust maximum threshold (default 0.75)
Sorry for inconvenience, I need to sleep more :)
Hi Alex, Thanks. But:
Tims-:bin tzaman$ ./dcraw_emu -T -w -W -e 0 /Volumes/TZ_USB3_32G/*.nef
Unknown option "-e".
Tim:bin tzaman$ ./dcraw_emu -T -w -W -e /Volumes/TZ_USB3_32G/*.nef
Unknown option "-e".
edit 1
Although i think you meant to say '-W'. This should turn auto brightening off, but it clearly does not for my images.
edit 2
Did you mean to say '-c 0' ?
Followup: maximum values in two files are differ: 12335 and 14213 in G1 channel. May be hotpixel, may be just signal variation
LibRaw (and dcraw_emu) with default settings uses automatic maximum level detection (to prevent 'pink clouds effect', 5 years ago I've written small article about it, it is in Russian, but google translate will help: http://blog.lexa.ru/2010/03/28/taina_rozovykh_oblakov.html )

cam_xyz[] matrix is the same matrix as DNG 'ColorMatrixN' (XYZ to Camera). For most cameras (ones without built-in color data) it is identical to Adobe's Color Matrix for Daylight.
rgb_cam[] is camera-to-sRGB conversion.
LibRaw::COLOR(row,col) returns color index (it is good idea to cache it; maximum length of pattern in single row is 48)
I thought I had found CFA_PATTERN in imgdata.rawdata.iparams.cdesc, but it appears that field is used for the general description of the chip. I don't seem to be able to find the CFA_PATTERN equivalent.
Thanks.
Thanks!
AsShotNeutral tag is converted to camera 'As Shot' white balance: imgdata.color.cam_mul[]
