Product description Women of Influence: Katrin Eismann Read More auwvqreyue Access, view, and analyze the pure raw data as recorded by your DSLR and certain video cameras with RawDigger Profile Edition from LibRaw LLC. RawDigger is not a raw convertor; it is a microscope of sorts that lets you drill down into your image files and visualize the data that will be used by raw converters. With this software, the isolation layer normally imposed by raw converters becomes transparent.
RawDigger's Profile edition is designed to facilitate and automate the advanced study of sensor and lens behavior, for those who need to create sensor calibration data, linearization data, or device data for color profiling. It expands on the features of RawDigger's Exposure and Research editions by adding selection grids for faster processing of step wedges and color targets. It also allows for the calculation of non-uniformity maps for flat fields such as lens & digital vignetting, non-uniformity of light and white balance, facilitating the application of white balance, normalization, equalization (flat field), and filtering outlying values before data export.
As with the Research edition, this software offers users the ability to export raw files as TIFFs, capabilities for sampling multiple selected areas and generating tables of sampled data, allows for statistics and histograms over multiple samples, and enables the export of sampled data as CSV and CGATS file formats. It is also useful for the study of flare and glare and the resulting characteristic curves, checking lens transmission symmetry, and setting even lighting.
RawDigger's basic functionality can help you determine the calibration of an in-camera exposure meter and quantify different vignetting sources. It also helps you to use spot-metering, exposure compensation, and manual exposure settings more efficiently and reliably; and to monitor and improve studio lighting setups in terms of white balance/light uniformity, and dynamic range.
To facilitate accurate raw image study, indicators for over- and underexposed image areas show you exactly where and in which color channel(s) details are blown out or have noisy shadows, with statistics to indicate the percentage of over- or underexposed pixels. Additionally, the histogram for either the entire file or an isolated image segment can be viewed in all modes (RGB, raw composite, and raw per channel), and can be exported for further study as a spreadsheet (CSV) or a graphic file (PNG) for presentation.
RawDigger supports all raw formats (including DNG) associated with a list of more than 800 supported cameras, and frequent updates are made to support new DSLR and cell phone models. The software can read files from any media, from a flash card to a network server. It works on a variety 32/64-bit Windows, Intel-based Mac platforms and Linux Wine-1.2.3; Wine (1.3.37-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1) and Debian testing.
This version of RawDigger is delivered as a download, and the license key can be installed on up to two computers simultaneously. - Analyze Camera Behavior and Settings
