Hello Alex,

I use Capture One 21 (I am aware that 22 should support the Sony A7IV).
And I use Affinity Photo 1.10.4.1198 (Photoshop replacement). Affinity support says their software depends on LibRAW for camera support... Yet, FastRawViewer 2.0 already seems to support the camera already.
And I use darktable 3.8.0 (both Windows and Linux).

Thanks, Eric.

Hello, any idea when the Sony A7IV will be added to the library?
It turns out some of the editing software I use, used LibRAW to read the raw files. Until that is updated, I can't edit my raw files in those...
Thank you!

Thanks - the rawpy folks mentioned the terminal output all looks fine, but that perhaps I should try again and enable the RPi RAW support. When compiling LibRaw I made the folder ~/Desktop/libraw into which I cloned the LibRaw repo.

- Can I remove that folder and try compiling again, or were LibRaw files installed elsewhere that need to be removed?
- In the future, what folder do you recommend I clone the LibRaw repo into?

Thank you for the reply. I followed the instructions (below) provided by rawpy (which uses LibRaw), as suggested by Iliah Borg (see further up for this discussion). Should I instead follow the LibRaw provided instructions?

git clone https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw.git libraw
git clone https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw-cmake.git libraw-cmake
cd libraw
git checkout 0.20.0
cp -R ../libraw-cmake/* .
cmake .
sudo make install

Hi - I just wanted to confirm I installed from source correctly. Below is the terminal output resulting from my cmake command. As you'll note, it indicates a few files were not found. Additionally, can I remove the ~/Desktop/libraw folder I created to clone the libraw repo?

LibRaw works fine on Apple M1 ARM chip

> it seems LibRaw can be installed on an RPi

Why "seems", I checked with my RPi before posting.

Which method of installation to use depends on your needs.

Generally if you want a package (rawpy in your case), it's a good idea to follow the instructions accompanying the package, especially when those instructions refer to a particular (not the latest) version of a library. You will need to install git and cmake,

> sudo apt update
> sudo apt upgrade
> sudo apt install git
> sudo apt install cmake

After LibRaw is installed the way rawpi instructions suggest, check

> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If it's empty, and you want to use LibRaw independently / check the installation:

> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

My apologies re. "seems" - I did not intend to cast doubt on your reply. Thank you very much for all the helpful information, and for checking these installation instructions on your own RPi - that is greatly appreciated! I am looking forward to using LibRaw.

Thank you for the helpful information! So it seems LibRaw can be installed on an RPi - this is great!

Just to clarify, in the case where both options are available (apt install or compiling), is there a reason why I would choose one over the other (e.g. will the compiling option give me a newer version)?

Additionally, re. compiling, I found these instructions on rawpy's website (a package I'm hoping to use), which look similar to the instructions you provided above, but there are some differences - will either set of instructions work?

git clone https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw.git libraw
git clone https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw-cmake.git libraw-cmake
cd libraw
git checkout 0.20.0
cp -R ../libraw-cmake/* .
cmake .
sudo make install

Thank you for your help.
Than I there is another issue related to the Java wrapper - Sorry for that. The output_color=0 was already commented out therefore was never active (leading slashes).

I have now removed the options and use the lib with the default options. After JDK18 I have to generate the sources from the header file again and will see if that helps.

Nevertheless under windows I had troubles with ljpeg-8d which is not compiling. For now I have removed libjpeg from all builds because it is not so important for the users.

I do not see color change due to user_qual=0 (output_tiff=0, half_size=0 are the default value).

BTW, you set output_color=0 too. This turns off camera color to sRGB (or other known colorspace) conversion and will result in washed colors.

I try's the sample applications and you are right that all is working.

The problem is that the sample applications are not setting any params. As soon as you add my param list the output colors are also washed out.

I am using the following params to speed up decoding of x-trans files (For Canon/Nikon it doesn't matter). Without those parameters the encoding is much slower. But if I set only one parameter the color are washed out independently which parameter I set:
use_camera_wb$set(params$slice, 0);
use_auto_wb$set(params$slice, 0);
output_tiff$set(params$slice, 0);
half_size$set(params$slice, 0);
user_qual$set(params$slice, 0);
