raw2dng

This projet is a porting to GNU/Linux of the project raw2dng.

Extract from the presentation that can be found in the homepage of the project:

RAW to DNG converter converts native raw data of some digital still cameras to DNG format. DNG is Digital Negative format from Adobe. It is supported by Adobe Photoshop CS and late, and some other RAW converters. It's the best format for native raw. It uses lossless compression, stores EXIF data from paired JPEG file, has small preview and allows straight processing by Photoshop.

How to compile it

Install depedencies

I used qmake to compile this project despite of the fact that I don't use QT... To build it you need:

• build-essential
• qmake

On ubuntu

apt-get install qt-sdk build-essential

Build it

qmake
make

Install it

$ sudo make install
cd common/ && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/raw2dng/common'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/raw2dng/common'
cd raw2dng/ && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/raw2dng/raw2dng'
install -m 755 -p "raw2dng" "/usr/local/bin/raw2dng"
strip "/usr/local/bin/raw2dng"
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/raw2dng/raw2dng'
cd raw2nef/ && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/raw2dng/raw2nef'
install -m 755 -p "raw2nef" "/usr/local/bin/raw2nef"
strip "/usr/local/bin/raw2nef"
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/raw2dng/raw2nef'
cd diadpix/ && make -f Makefile install
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/raw2dng/diadpix'
install -m 755 -p "diadpix" "/usr/local/bin/diadpix"
strip "/usr/local/bin/diadpix"
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/raw2dng/diadpix'

Convert raw to dng

$ ./raw2dng Coolpix RAW data to DNG format converter
raw2dng v0.16.6.2, by paul69 <[email protected]>
[compiled: Dec 24 2017 03:03:25]

args: [options] input_file1 [input_file2...]

options:
   -auto - autodetect (default)
   -<camera id> - see raw2nef.ini

   -v - verbose
   -c - compatible with Adobe DNG Converter (default)
   -n - EXIF/JPEG file has the same number as RAW file
   -f - force loading incomplete raw files
   -O - optimize DNG file size (very slow)
   -e <filename> - EXIF/JPEG file name
   -o <filename> - DNG output file name
   -i <filename> - ini-file name (default is raw2nef.ini)
   With -e and -o options only one input file is allowed

Example:

$ raw2dng -auto -O -o test.dng -v YDXJ0014.RAW
raw2dng v0.16.6.2, by paul69 <[email protected]>
[compiled: Dec 24 2017 01:50:33]
input: YDXJ0014.RAW
warning: "YDXJ0015.jpg" - cannot open exif file
parse ini-file: "./raw2nef.ini"
camera model XIAOMI is found in ini-file
read raw data from "YDXJ0014.RAW"
write picture to: "test.dng"
OK
