Raw workflow applications

Windows Mac Linux

The Unidentified Flying Raw (UFRaw) is a utility to read and manipulate raw images from digital cameras. It can be used on its own or as a Gimp plug-in. It reads raw images using Dave Coffin’s raw z conversionutility – DCRaw. UFRaw supports color management workflow based on Little CMS, allowing the user to apply ICC color profiles. For Nikon users UFRaw has the advantage that it can read the camera’s tone curves. Even if you don’t own a Nikon, you can still apply a Nikon curve to your images.

So here is my mission: Write and maintain an ANSI C program that decodes any raw image from any digital camera on any computer running any operating system. That program is called dcraw (pronounced “dee-see-raw”), and it’s become a standard tool within and without the Open Source world. It’s small (about 8000 lines), portable (standard Clibraries only), free (both “gratis” and “libre”), and

when used skillfully, produces better quality output than the tools provided by the camera vendor.
