  • Fixed incomplete low-sensitivity pixel processing on Sigma SD Quattro half-res files

New in RawDigger 1.4.0.656 Beta (Nov 18, 2019)

  • Updating the GUI Toolkit:
  • The Qt4 GUI toolkit that we use in RawDigger has (long since) became inadequate for modern operating systems. As a result, we must (gradually) get rid of it, and furthermore, because of the same considerations about supporting new features in the modern operational systems that triggered the toolkit change, we have to move to the very new version of Qt 5.12.
  • Aside from (minor) changes to the RawDigger code, this entails long and careful beta testing: we haven’t tried the Qt version with a large number of users; it should work, but these things are not a given.
  • Other changes:
  • Because there is going to be a long testing period anyway, we have added improvements that have been ready for a while, as described below (furthermore, this is a good moment to suggest that we add some features, if it’s doable in a reasonable time we will consider implementing them).
  • Saving Grids – setting grids from saved:
  • The dialog for working with grids has been significantly reworked:
  • Save to File / Load From File buttons added
  • Use loaded position option has been added
  • The Cell naming group of settings has been moved to a separate tab, as it is seldom used (as far as we know).
  • Data export:
  • Exporting tables of measurements in CSV format has been expanded to include the the following recording options:
  • Camera Vendor
  • Camera Model
  • ISO
  • Exposure, two options:
  • Shutter speed value as a number, for example 0.01
  • Shutter speed value as a string, in pretty form: 1/100
  • Aperture, two options:
  • Aperture as a number: in number form, 8.0
  • Aperture as a string: f/8
  • New Settings:
  • In the Preferences – File Handling tab:
  • Use native system file open/save dialogs where possible
  • For those file reading/saving dialogues that don’t have additional parameters (such as for the dialogues for saving a table of measurements and TIFF export), a system file choice dialogue will be used.
  • Use natural sort order under selecting the order of file sorting through Menu - File - Next/Prev file
  • If this option is turned on, then “natural” sorting for files with numbers in their names will be used (A1, A2, A10), and if it’s turned off then alphabetic sorting will be (A1, A10, A2).
  • This setting is unavailable in Legacy versions.
  • In the Preferences – Misc options tab:
  • Use OpenGL for bitmap draw
  • When turning on this setting, OpenGL will be used for displaying the image. This may work faster on computers win an old CPU.
  • This setting is unavailable in Legacy versions.

New in RawDigger 1.3.1.637 (Oct 3, 2019)

  • Fixed crash in RawComposite mode w/ some raw files.

New in RawDigger 1.3.0.634 (Sep 26, 2019)

  • Improvements:
  • Sample coordinates can now be saved and restored
  • to save sample coordinates, press the 'Save samples' button in the Samples dialog (number 1 on the picture below), then choose the 'Coordinates only' option (number 2 on the picture below) and press the 'Save' button (number 3 on the picture below) in the Save dialog. By default, the file will have an .rds extension.
  • to load samples, press 'Load' in the Samples dialog (number 1 on the picture below); the next dialog presents the option to clear the existing samples before loading (number 1a on the picture below) if they exist and hadn't been removed earlier.
  • Brighten section at the bottom bar of the main screen - available for RGB render mode only.
  • When the checkbox is enabled, it gives one access to the entry field that controls the increase in brightness entry field and the Apply button, to apply the changes.
  • The brightness is increased via a gamma change, highlights are not clipped.
  • Preferences - Display Options - Allow autoexposure to clip % (highlights)
  • This new setting controls the relative amount of pixels that can be clipped when autoexposure is applied, and thus it controls the amount of lightening applied through autoexposure.
  • Preferences - Display Options - RGB rendering color space,
  • For this new setting, the choices are: sRGB (default), Adobe RGB, Wide Gamut RGB, ProPhoto RGB.
  • RawDigger doesn't use color management, the output to the screen is direct; the user of a monitor that is set to emulate Adobe RGB or, more generally, wide gamut monitors may benefit from selecting Adobe RGB here; other options may become useful if you want to display less saturated colors.
  • Preferences: Display - Override white level,
  • Allows to set white level used for rendering to user-specified value.
  • Preferences - Misc Options - Minimize subwindows together with main window
  • If this new setting is enabled, minimizing the main program window will also cause minimization of Histogram, Samples, and EXIF windows.
  • Restoring the main window will also cause those child windows to be restored too.
  • (Windows and Mac OS X/macOS 10.9+) An option to switch to full screen mode has been added, Menu - View - Fullscreen or F11
  • Buttons to minimize / maximize the Histogram and Samples windows are added.
  • Re-factored and improved processing of DNG files that contain multiple images
  • Settings in Preferences - Data Processing - Vendor specific - DNG section -
  • Show Enhanced image frame: to allow the display of the image that corresponds to Adobe Camera RAW/Lightroom: Enhance image
  • Show Preview frames: to allow the display of previews (usually those previews have low resolution) and Fast load data
  • Defaults are: Show Enhanced image: off; Show Preview: off To view and analyse those additional images use the "Frame:" selector (bottom line of the application window)
  • Camera support added:
  • Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III, PowerShot G5X Mark II, EOS M6 Mark II, EOS 90D
  • Fujifilm GFX100, X-A7
  • Olympus TG-6
  • Sony RX0-II, A7R-IV, RX100-VII, ILCE-6100, ILCE-6600
  • Preliminary support: GoPro HERO5, HERO6, HERO7, Fusion
  • Other Changes:
  • Removed 16383pix image size limit
  • Disable RGB rendering for files larger... upper limit is raised to 511Mpix in 64-bit version.
  • Some of the settings have been moved from 'Misc Options' to 'File Handling' section of Preferences.
  • Display Options - Disable processing for files larger than NN Mbytes of raw data: upper limit is raised to 8191 Mbytes on 64-bit systems.
  • Exiftool updated to version 11.65
  • Fixed inconsistency in Use Linear Curve option:
  • it is decoupled from 'Use RawSpeed Library' option
  • if 'Use Linear Curve' is enabled, RawSpeed isn't used
  • if 'Use RawSpeed Library' is enabled, the option to change the curve (in the bottom line of the main screen) is blocked.

New in RawDigger 1.2.27.607 (May 18, 2019)

  • Camera support added:
  • Canon EOS 250D
  • Panasonic: S1, S1R, G95/G90, FZ1000-II
  • Sigma Quattro H: white level for X3F files is adjusted to match DNG files from this camera.
  • Panasonic S1R HighRes mode notes:
  • Default RawDigger limit for RGB rendering is 120Mpix, while S1R HighRes images are larger (almost 190Mpix). To display RGB rendering, please increase the limit value in Preferences: Display Options - Disable RGB Rendering.... limit (you'll need at least3GB of free RAM for RawDigger process)
  • GUI toolkit we use for RawDigger is unable to display images larger than 16383 pixels in any dimension, while S1R HighRes images are slightly larger (16767 pix wide image area, 16776 pix full sensor area). Thus we temporarily limit RawDigger display/export ability to 16383 pixels only. We'll address this issue in next intermediate update (version 1.3.0).

  • Pentax K-3 II 4-shot mode - new setting Data Processing - Vendor specific - Pentax K3-II - Merge data for 4-shot frames to merge 4 shots into one 4-channel (with 2 green channels)
  • Support for DNG files containing floating point data:
  • Only compressed files (deflate) are supported for now, we have no samples of uncompressed files. If you have any floating point DNG files that are not currently supported by RawDigger please send us some samples.
  • Both Bayer-type and linear DNG (3 color channels) files are supported
  • Files containing 16-, 24-, and 32-bit floating point data are supported.
  • As the source floating point data may be normalized in different ways (i.e., 0-1. or 0-1000000, or to some other range), while in RawDigger the histogram and statistics are in 16-bit integers, upon the opening of a raw file containing floating point raw data the program performs a conversion to integer values, applying a re-normalization to a different range if necessary.
  • The conversion is controlled through the following settings:
  • Preferences - Data Processing - Floating point data normalization group:
  • For data maximum below AAAA or above BBBB
  • Scale data range to CCC
  • The meaning of the settings is as following:
  • if the actual data range _or_ the value of the maximum in the DNG file are out of the range АААА-BBBB
  • then all the data numbers (pixel values) will be multiplied by the same coefficient, to make the actual maximum equal to CCCC
  • If the data numbers were scaled as noted above, the multiplier will be displayed on the bottom bar, like this: 'FP data normalized: 1.23456' (it means that all the data numbers were multiplied by 1.23456)

New in RawDigger 1.1.0.377 (Sep 15, 2014)

  • Changes:
  • Histograms:
  • for 3-channel and 1-channel raw data only 3-channel and 1-channel histograms are displayed, correspondingly. Empty histogram windows for non-existing channels are not displayed now.
  • additional settings to control the display of 4-channel histograms for Bayer RGBG raw data (Preferences - 'Histograms' - "Histogram for RGBG bayer images"):
  • Display G1 and G2 - to display 4 histograms
  • G1 only - to display 3 histograms, using R, G1, and B channel data
  • Average G1 and G2 - to display 3 histograms, using R channel data, averaged G1 and G2 data, and B channel data:
  • histogram bins are averaged between G1 and G2 channels
  • Channel statistics:
  • Min/Max - minimum and maximum values, correspondingly
  • Values (number of repeating values) - maximum between the channels
  • Pixels - average between the channels
  • New option for vertical scaling, Square root; resulting histogram is less spiky compared to linear scaling, but less flat compared to logarithmic scaling.
  • In addition to checkboxes, active regions to control histogram display now include the mode labels too, so the modes can be switched also by clicking on the labels themselves.
  • New Histograms tab in Preferences:
  • moved setting: Histogram Scale setting (moved from Display tab)
  • moved setting: Remember scale ranges (formerly Remember last used Histogram settings on the Misc tab)
  • new setting: Set histogram EV0 by with 2 choices:
  • Current frame data: EV0 will be set 3 stops below the maximum for the current frame rounded up to the next power of two
  • Camera data range: EV0 will be set relative to the theoretical maximum for the camera rounded up to the next power of two; this setting is meant to facilitate the comparison of underexposed and normally exposed frames from the same camera, because now the maximum and EV0 value do not depend on the exposure.
  • EV grid step controls are available when automatic selection of EV0 is turned on.
  • A bug causing the parameters of the vertical axis of the histogram not to be always properly restored in Remember scale ranges mode is fixed.
  • Minimum bin size for autoscaling of X axis of histogram in EV-scale mode is set to 1/48 EV.
  • Support (non-automatic) for display of histograms on HiDPI (Retina) monitors. The option is switched on manually with the help of the following settings:
  • HiDPI histogram window mode (for HiDPI screens) - doubles the resolution for the histogram window
  • High resolution histogram PNG export - to double the size of the histogram image when exporting to PNG format, effectively doubling the resolution of the output.
  • (Windows only) The setting Histogram windows always on top of main window - switches on the mode when the histogram windows are displayed on top of the main program window. If this mode is on, histogram windows are not displayed as separate in the taskbar.
  • New setting Additional data in histogram title bar to select the data to be displayed on the title bar of the histogram window. Chices include "exposure" data (shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed), camera model, both, or none.
  • Histogram settings (axes ranges, type of vertical scaling) are memorized also when closing the histogram window, not only when those settings are changed. Thus, the settings for the last closed histogram window will be active upon opening a new histogram window.
  • Bug fixed: for OS X, horizontal grid divisions were not displayed
  • Minor changes:
  • In certain cases, faster program start.
  • Misc - Remember OvExp/UnExp checkbox settings is now moved to Over/Under Exposure tab.

New in RawDigger 1.0.9.359 (Aug 7, 2014)

  • New Preferences Tab:
  • Settings related to specific data formats or manufacturers only (that is, Sony ARW2, Panasonic, PhaseOne, Sigma dp2 Quattro, Canon/Nikon sRAW/Small RAW), have been moved to the "Vendor Specific" subsection within the Data Processing settings section. Settings affecting all cameras/data formats remain in the main "Data Processing" section.
  • Sigma dp2 Quattro support:
  • The following settings in the "Data Processing -> Vendor Specific" Preferences subsection have been added:
  • R and G channels interpolation - turns on the duplication of pixels in the R and G channels to form a 2x2 square
  • Low sensitivity pixel interpolation - turns on the normalization of pixels with lower sensitivity found in the R and G channels (in the dp2 Quattro camera, every 64th pixel in the R and G channels has a sensitivity lowered by about 2 stops. What these pixels are used for is currently not certain, possibly for exposure control in overexposed areas).
  • Histogram window changes:
  • the bug on rare occasions causing the histogram to appear unopulated upon the change of the size of the histogram window is resolved
  • the labels on horizontal axis are continued all the way to the right instead of reaching only to the maximum of the range settings on top of histogram window

  • Support for Nikon Small Raw (D4s NEF Size S):
  • To extract unprocessed YCC data, switch on
  • Show YCbCr data for Canon/Nikon sRAW files in Preferences - Data Processing.
  • To disable Cb/Cr interpolation, switch on "Do not interpolate Cb/Cr channels data (Canon/Nikon sRAW)" in Preferences - Data Processing.
  • In RGB-mode ("Show YCbCr…" setting is off) the image is rendered from luma and color-difference data:
  • linearized
  • chromaticities are close to sRGB so no additional color transformations are performed.
  • LibRaw updated:
  • support for DNG files that originate from Fuji X-Trans RAFs
  • support for DNG files that include tonal (linearization) curves with more than 4096 entries.

New in RawDigger 1.0.5.319 (Mar 6, 2014)

  • New Features:
  • New Sony processing mode:
  • Preferences - Data Processing - Sony ARW2 processing options - Delta step relative to value
  • This mode is to display the ratio of the minimum delta step to the pixel value. For those image areas where this ratio is large and the contrasty details do not exist (like it is in the sky) the normally processed image may exhibit visible posterization. The values are displayed in per mil (a tenth of percent, or one per thousand). ?Additional setting
  • Ignore shadows below level NN
  • Delta step relative to value mode necessarily highlights all the shadow areas in the image because the minimum step in raw for shadows is relatively large - with minimum step value of 2 for the pixel value of 64 the step is equal to 3%. This setting allows to switch off that (usually unnecessary) shadow highlighting
  • Support for .EIP CaptureOne files
  • Exiftool updated to 9.54
  • LibRaw updated
  • Support for Fujifilm S1 and Nikon D4s (small size NEFs are currently not supported)
  • New sorting for RAW extensions in Open file dialogue, old and uncommon file extensions are now in the end of the list
  • This is to get around of the limitations imposed by older versions of Windows that impose a limit on the length of the extension list
  • User-defined extensions are now placed at the head of the list instead of appending to the tail
  • Bugs fixed:
  • Libraw updated: shutter speed for Sigma SD9 and SD10 cameras is now displayed correctly
  • Incompatibilities with activating RawDigger when running both 32- and 64- bit versions of the program in Windows 64-bit environment are fixed

New in RawDigger 1.0.4.305 (Feb 12, 2014)

  • LibRaw updated
  • Corrected black level setting for 12-bit NEF files for Nikon cameras that are using non-zero black levels (currently D3300 and D5300)
  • Exiftool updated to version 9.50

New in RawDigger 1.0.3.300 (Feb 6, 2014)

  • Changes:
  • New setting:
  • Preferences - Overexposure detection - Auto - Auto OE Offset
  • This setting allows to offset the automatically detected value of overexposure. It can be set in the range of -8 to +1 EV. Can be used to determine which areas of the raw data will be blown out if the exposure is increased (negative OE Offset values correspond to exposure increase!). If Underexposure Detection is set to 'Offset from Saturation' OE Offset shifts the underexposure detection margin accordingly, allowing to predict the underexposed areas for the new exposure setting.
  • See our new article Exposure for RAW vs. Exposure for JPEG which describes how to use this feature for fast and accurate simulations of exposure adjustments.
  • New setting: Preferences - Data Processing - Sony ARW2 processing options
  • Applies only to processing of Sony cRAW format Settings:
  • None (standard processing) - standard processing
  • Only base pixels - In each 16-byte block, only pixels that have exact values are unpacked. The values of other pixels are set to zero.
  • Only delta pixels - In each 16-byte block, only the pixels that are coded as deltas from the minimum value in the block are unpacked. The base value (minimum in the block) is added to the result.
  • Delta pixels relative to zero - same as above but the base value is not added. This mode helps to locate compression artifacts.
  • New setting: Preferences - Overexposure detection - Auto - Sensitivity - Full Well limited camera
  • Turns on the new method to detect OE, useful for the cases where the output is limited not by ADC but by the full well (or close to full well). The method locates the "fuzzy hump" in highlights which is specific for full-well limited raw data processing. Some cameras at certain ISO settings (base ISO or lower than base ISO) exhibit this type of behavior (one of the examples is Panasonic GX7 at ISO 125 setting)
  • Setting deleted: Sony ARW2 Hack.
  • Exiftool updated to 9.49
  • LibRaw updated, new cameras added:
  • cellular phones: Alcatel 5035D, Nokia 1600x1200, DJI 4438x3288, Matrix 4608x3288

  • LibRaw library updated to support:
  • with full RGB rendering
  • Canon G16
  • Hasselblad Lunar, Stellar

  • preliminary RGB rendering (but of course RAW data is extracted in full)
  • Canon S120
  • Fujifilm X-A1
  • Nikon P7800
  • For Sony and Samsung cameras black level is now based on EXIF information
  • For Sony cameras model name is now based on EXIF tag SonyModelID
  • Support for DNG files without compression tag is added
  • Added support for black level subtraction for non-Bayer (full-color) raw formats
  • Precision of the of floating point values is increased in exported files.
  • EXIF data can be copied to clipboard as a table and as a text, additional button for text export is available in the dialogue
  • EXIFTool updated to version 9.39
  • Bugs fixed, problems solved:
  • For Samples window, clipboard copy (Ctrl/Cmd-C) now works also for the files with less than 4 color channels

New in RawDigger 0.9.19 Build 221 Beta (Sep 9, 2013)

  • New features:
  • Exporting Bayer RAW data as single channel (grayscale) TIFFs. This feature is most useful for exporting data obtained from DIY black and white cameras with removed CFAs (maxmax.com and similar methods)
  • It is now possible to switch off auto exposure compensation for RGB render display
  • Preferences - Display Options - Automatic exposure correction for RGB render
  • Changes and improvements:
  • The last set of Selection Grid parameters are now automatically saved and reused when the program is restarted
  • The user can now control the set of folders that is displayed in the sidebar of the "Save.." dialogues (that is, export of RAW data and saving the measurement tables). Preferences - Misc Options - Sidebar folders in "Save.." dialogues
  • Remember the list of used folders ("traditional" behavior) to display the list of previously used folders
  • Standard list: include only Desktop, Documents, Pictures, TEMP, and Home folder
  • Home Folder only
  • This change has been implemented to address user complaints such as: If the list of used folders contains a slow or a disconnected (networked) disk, the "Save.." dialogues are very slow.)
  • For CGATS file export, the fields that can potentially contain a space are now enclosed in single quotes
  • RAW/RGB data can be exported as an Uncompressed TIFF. For compressed TIFFS, the compression factor is increased (files are smaller)
  • Floating point numbers now contain no less than 4 significant digits (with the exception of percentages of over and underexposed pixels, where only 3 significant digits are used)
  • New Setting
  • Preferences - Misc Options - Disable check for updates at startup
  • Enabling this setting prevents RawDigger from checking updates when starting the program
  • Consequently, the scripts noCheckUpdates.reg for Windows platform and noCheckUpdates.sh for OS X platform are not provided anymore
  • LibRaw has been updated, adding support for the following cameras: Panasonic LF1, Panasonic GX7, Fujifilm X-M1, Canon EOS 70D, Sony RX100II, Sony RX1R, Olympus E-P5

New in RawDigger 0.9.18 Build 216 Beta (Jul 16, 2013)

  • New features:
  • Data export as TIFF
  • Menu -> File -> Export TIFF)
  • This feature allows exporting RGB rendition, composite RAW, or single RAW channel as a TIFF file.
  • Better analyses of Canon sRAW data format
  • New settings -
  • Preferences -> Data Processing -> Show YCbCr data for Canon sRAW files
  • Preferences -> Data Processing -> Do not interpolate Cb/Cr channels data (Canon sRAW)
  • The first setting allows to switch off conversion of YCbCr into RGB for Canon sRAW format, while the second switches off interpolation of Cb/Cr channels
  • New setting
  • Preferences -> Display Options -> Display RGB Render in RAW colors
  • This setting allows to switch off the conversion of RGB render into sRGB. This way the output remains in camera "color space".
  • For RAW data containing four different colors (RGBE, CMYG) this also switches off RGB render display. TIFF export for such RAW is still possible and results in a four-channel TIFF.
  • Added camera support for:
  • Baumer TXG14
  • Canon EOS C500
  • Nikon D5200
  • OmniVision OV5647 (Raspberry Pi)
  • Panasonic DMC-GF6
  • Samsung NX300, NX1100, NX2000
  • Sony NEX-3N
  • Minor changes:
  • CGATS output reworked to include additional data and for better standard conformance
