Please, could anyone answer the following questions?
I think that RAW files store RGB exposition (RGB-E) as continuous values, or, at least, much more continuous with respect to the discrete (i.e. integer) values of its TIFF version, is this right?
If so, do you know a software that allows the following procedure:

1) conversion of RGB-E to HSV-E, that is, E values expressed in HSV color space.

2) raising of V-E (i.e., the V channel of HSV-E) values to the power 1/g, where “g” is greek gamma and its value should be of one’s choice.

I am here with basic knowledge of C++ and library implementation and I am intended to read IIQ files captured with PhaseOne. I found Libraw is a good library to do that. I have downloaded "Windows binaries (and sources), compiled by MSVC 2013, 64 bit" and unzip that so far. I have tried to follow the compilation and installation guide, but the instructions was also not clear to me. I would really appreciate if someone could give me instruction how I can read IIQ files in my visual studio 2017 and C++ using Libraw.

Currently says 2008-2016 - should now say 2008-2019!

I'm wondering if there's any way to conserve the negative pixel values after demosaicing which are quite important on noisy pictures because not clipping those values is the best way to avoid having purple haze (when the image has black parts and the negative values are clipped then the noise averages out to something positive instead of zero, which creates a haze, and typical white balance makes it purple), mostly when applying a blurring, denoising or downscaling algorithm to the image.

I found that the 201903 snapshot is failing to decode the thumbnail of certain DNG file. It was fine in the last release.

Attached is DNG file I'm having problem with:
