Rawstudio
Encyclopedia
Rawstudio is a stand-alone application, using the GTK+
UI toolkit, to read and manipulate images in Raw image format
s from digital cameras. It is designed for working rapidly with a large volume of images, unlike similar tools, such as UFRaw
, which are designed to work on one image at a time.
Rawstudio is currently at a very early stage of development and currently only the latest revision supports demosaicing
.
Rawstudio reads RAW images using DCRaw
and supports color management
using LittleCMS
to allow the user to apply color profiles (see also Linux color management
).
Rawstudio supports virtually every variety of RAW format from all digital camera manufacturers, thanks to the extensive camera support of dcraw
.
GTK+
GTK+ is a cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL, allowing both free and proprietary software to use it. It is one of the most popular toolkits for the X Window System, along with Qt.The name GTK+ originates from GTK;...
UI toolkit, to read and manipulate images in Raw image format
RAW image format
A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor...

UFRaw
UFRaw is an application which can read and manipulate photographs in raw image formats, as created by many digital cameras. UFRaw is available both as a stand-alone utility, as a GIMP and CinePaint plugin, and in F-Spot via the DevelopInUFRaw extension...

Demosaicing
A demosaicing algorithm is a digital image process used to reconstruct a full color image from the incomplete color samples output from an image sensor overlaid with a color filter array...

Color management
In digital imaging systems, color management is the controlled conversion between the color representations of various devices, such as image scanners, digital cameras, monitors, TV screens, film printers, computer printers, offset presses, and corresponding media.The primary goal of color...
