Both converters were set with no sharpening, noise reduction, shadow/highlights, etc. the first is from rawtherapee, and the second is from ufraw. Below are 2 crops from the same raw file. The file does carry a revision number (it is, apparently, managed with RCS upstream), which could reasonably be considered to be the version. for us Linux users, I thought it might be fun to test an iso 3200 shot in ufraw (a graphical interface to dcraw), and rawtherapee 2.3 beta. If it is possible to determine the version of dcraw which is being bundled, packages should instead add Provides: bundled(dcraw) = version.įWIW, "version" is usually going to be "version + patches". But you would then need to create png files (16-bit > for preference) from ufraw and open those in gimp. Packages which bundle dcraw should add Provides: bundled(dcraw). I'm not saying you're wrong, just that it's the state of the software. And, unfortunately, since it really isn't meant to be a library, unbundling it isn't just packaging differently - it's a fairly invasive and extensive rewrite to the software to use an alternative. But if you use a calibrated profile, like a custom measure taken with Colorchecker DC or Q60, then the gamut range needs a bigger. UFRaw and RawThreapee both use dcraw for RAW conversion engine.
RAWTHERAPEE VS UFRAW FULL
By the way, both apps are free and run on many platforms including Linux and Windows. I'm not 100 qualified to give you help on this matter, but in my own experience, if you open a raw image in UFRaw without any input profile (ie with the default sRGB) you get the full color gamut untouched transferred into your color workingspace. Since the stuff is already in the distro and FPC doesn't have the ability to pull packagesÄocumenting what's already in is definitely my main priority, but this is fairly widespread, and it's incredibly likely that Hot New Photography Software of 2016 will do the same thing. RawTherapee ufraw There is more noise apparent in ufraw, but it looks as if there is also more detail to me. Certainly it should be documented, but that's quite a ways from saying it's OK by providing a bundling exception.
