auto balance is based on the idea of a "average gray" world, which is not true for global colored scenes.
If you take a photo of a green grass, then the result of automatic white balance will not satisfy you too.
I didn't know FastRawViewer has it's own processing. That's interesting...
I too was able to achieve that image, but only after i manually switched the wb method.
Anyway, since i cant invest in a whole new post-processing infra at the moment, and considering your comment:
"I do not think that auto-balance is well suited for such images with overall warm tint."
can you suggest a good way to detect said warm tints, so as to switch from auto to camera wb automatically, or is this something only human eye can detect and decern?
Separate user here. To clarify, if I’m interested in having the ProfileGainTableMap processed (so images don’t come out underexposed), would building with the DNG SDK and setting these flags accomplish this? I’m currently trying (and failing) to get a build for this, so it’d be helpful to know before I spend more time getting it to build.
I tried to extract the full image and the left image from an dual pixel cr3 RAW file. I have used dcraw_emu.exe -r 1 1 1 1 -M -o 0 -4 -T -s 0 "example.cr3". With changing the -s from 0 to 1 i get the second image. But the imagesis already debayered. Is it possible to get the non debayered images?
ARW files are really TIFF(like)-containers, so all ARW-specific code is specific tag values parsing/assignment to internal data structures.
The main analysis is common to all tiffs.
>> 1st: R6 Mark II is not supported yet
I know and I mentioned in my original post
I do not doubt that libraw will support R6 Mark II sooner or later that is why I am ready to provide sample files and take part in testing if needed.
>> 2nd: your 2298 file is damaged
Probably it is and there are many other files from my R6m2 damanged in same way.
I mention "probably" because it looks strange:
* other software (DXO PureRaw, Adobe Photoshop, FastStone Image Viewer) works with this file fine
* I took and processed thousands of images from this camera already and I got no issues until I tried to take astro images and load in into Siril
* I have many more samples of random files from the camera that are "damaged" (and could be processed fine with other software).
you can try to use FastRawViewer and see what per-channels multipliers "they" suggest ( that is assuming EasyHDR uses the same approach as FRV), then you can adjust as shot WB tag in DNG using exiftool or so and feed it to ACR/LR and use as shot WB there ... ___BUT___ the same colors of course is a different story because the whole color transform is more than just the WB ...
There is no reason to integrate w/ libjxl, because Adobe DNG SDK is already integrated (it is free and BSD-licensed, there are no reasons against using it).
Also, libjxl integration is not enough, such DNG files may need full opcode processing not only Stage1 (provided by LibRaw).
The file also contains absolutely black preview.
Adobe DNG Converter converts it to absolutely black DNG file.
zip compresses it into 300k zipfile (1:100 compression ratio)
Are you sure the file is not completely black, but contains some image?

Than you so much for the quick response.

Also: here is your file processed with dcraw_emu -w -T : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6gl21svjvs5wy1wzlb4fv/Y-Sigma24-70A-5D3-1...

FastRawViewer uses own postprocessing, not LibRaw's
Hello Alex,
sometimes I can't see the wood for the trees - sorry for the obvious mistake on my side :)
Many thanks for pointing it out,
Michael
You need to add LibRaw source files added in last public snapshot to your build.
(src/decoders/sonycc.cpp and src/decoders/pana8.cpp)
DNG SDK Applies ProfileGainTableMap in dng_renderer (RAW to RGB conversion), not in stage3 opcodes.

To extract unprocessed data use unprocessed_raw sample
I tried to extract the full image and the left image from an dual pixel cr3 RAW file. I have used dcraw_emu.exe -r 1 1 1 1 -M -o 0 -4 -T -s 0 "example.cr3". With changing the -s from 0 to 1 i get the second image. But the imagesis already debayered. Is it possible to get the non debayered images?
What exactly are you doing and how and what are you failing at?
ARW files are really TIFF(like)-containers, so all ARW-specific code is specific tag values parsing/assignment to internal data structures.

Please check with Adobe DNG Converter and select files that processed OK by this program, but damaged in LibRaw.

So, let me know if you need file samples.
1st: R6 Mark II is not supported yet
2nd: your 2298 file is damaged. Adobe DNG Converter also agrees with this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s19zw6bylther2fvh6cyp/Screenshot-2024-03-...

Sorry, we're not responsible for Adobe apps. Please direct your request to Adobe's support
yes, you probably need to add ws2_32 to your linker input.

Try to remove
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=/MP
(Visual Studio specific flag)
from buildfiles/libraw-common-lib.pro
Is there a reason for using the DNG SDK instead of directly integrating with libjxl?
Would a pull request that attempted to support the libjxl path instead as an option be accepted, just like libjpeg8 is an optional library?
I'm thinking of taking a crack at support via libjxl, but don't want the effort to be redundant.
happy to provide any Z9 RAW file samples if you need them.
Thanks for the great project.
You're right (previous reply deleted), -N is not handled in code. To be removed from help line in future release.
Thanks - I will recheck.
