pyrochild Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Have you tried the existing RAW plugins to see if they work with your camera? Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummyhead Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 all the ones i have tried so far the picture always turns out different shades of pink..... panasonic used to use the .raw format but apparantly they have changed it in the recent series of cameras...they now use .RW2 which apparantly is different..

cola007 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'd like to second this request. I can provide sample files if that would be helpful. Thanks! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of my friends who is familiar with C# update the RAWFile file type source and now I'm able to open up .RW2 files and they look correct. I can send you a copy so you can see if it works properly for you. If it does I'll post it as an update on the RAWFile thread (or create a new thread). -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cola007 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Can you send me a sample image? I'll be glad to see how it renders on my machine. If it doesn't work properly I can have my friend try to include the latest build of dcraw in the plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cola007 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) K, I got the same results you described. I've updated the DCRaw.exe in the source and was able to get a full color photo. Try out this new DLL and let me know how it works for you. <Removed old plugin> Edited April 27, 2011 by cola007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummyhead Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 cool. it works now. the only problem is the white balance is getting readjusted. is paint.net doing that automatically or is the raw file loader doing that. cuz i would like to keep the exposure level to what the camera has picture set for so i can do auto bracketing with HDR photos. with my HDR stuff i take a normal exposure shot then one shot at -2 ev and another shot at +2 ev then i use HDR software to merge them. if i load a darker image with it either your loader or paint.net is adjusting the brightness of pic up to a higher level when i want to leave it to what was set in camera. can you make it do that? let me know thank you for your help on this i very muchly appreciate it...

cola007 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Give this one a shot. The plugin is currently using this set of switches: "-w -W -q 3 -c -T" (Use camera white balance, don't auto-brighten, use highest quality conversion, write data to standard output, use TIFF as output) If there are any other modifications you'd like to see, let me know. For reference, the available options are listed below. Usage: dcraw.exe [OPTION]... [FILE]... -v Print verbose messages -c Write image data to standard output -e Extract embedded thumbnail image -i Identify files without decoding them -i -v Identify files and show metadata -z Change file dates to camera timestamp -w Use camera white balance, if possible -a Average the whole image for white balance -A <x y w h> Average a grey box for white balance -r <r g b g> Set custom white balance +M/-M Use/don't use an embedded color matrix -C <r b> Correct chromatic aberration -P <file> Fix the dead pixels listed in this file -K <file> Subtract dark frame (16-bit raw PGM) -k <num> Set the darkness level -S <num> Set the saturation level -n <num> Set threshold for wavelet denoising -H [0-9] Highlight mode (0=clip, 1=unclip, 2=blend, 3+=rebuild) -t [0-7] Flip image (0=none, 3=180, 5=90CCW, 6=90CW) -o [0-5] Output colorspace (raw,sRGB,Adobe,Wide,ProPhoto,XYZ) -d Document mode (no color, no interpolation) -D Document mode without scaling (totally raw) -j Don't stretch or rotate raw pixels -W Don't automatically brighten the image -b <num> Adjust brightness (default = 1.0) -g <p ts> Set custom gamma curve (default = 2.222 4.5) -q [0-3] Set the interpolation quality -h Half-size color image (twice as fast as "-q 0") -f Interpolate RGGB as four colors -m <num> Apply a 3x3 median filter to R-G and B-G -s [0..N-1] Select one raw image or "all" from each file -6 Write 16-bit instead of 8-bit -4 Linear 16-bit, same as "-6 -W -g 1 1" -T Write TIFF instead of PPM RAWFile.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummyhead Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 wow. amazing.....it works perfect now. i sure appreciate your help...... thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummyhead Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 yes sir i think posting this to everyone would be great...i'm sure there will be lots more soon using the rw2 raw format..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cola007 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think before I post this for everyone to see I might try to tweak the DLL to use a parameter file or something. Some of my images that are shot in low light produce a lot of artifacts and I have to use the the "-m 3" parameter for the images to render cleanly ("-m 2" still leaves artifacts but "-m 3" successfully eliminates them). I don't believe any of my shots done in daylight have the same problem so I think leaving it configurable would be the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 You might want to post a beta in the Plugin Developers section - get some free testing!

mojochan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have a Pansonic GF2 and would really like to try this plugin out. At the moment the white balance is off but I would be happy to beta test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
