dcraw(1) General Commands Manual dcraw(1) NAME dcraw - command-line decoder for raw digital photos SYNOPSIS dcraw [OPTION]... [FILE]... DESCRIPTION dcraw decodes raw photos, displays metadata, and extracts thumbnails. GENERAL OPTIONS -v Print verbose messages, not just warnings and errors. -c Write decoded images or thumbnails to standard output. -e Extract the camera-generated thumbnail, not the raw image. You'll get either a JPEG or a PPM file, depending on the camera. -z Change the access and modification times of an AVI, JPEG, TIFF or raw file to when the photo was taken, assuming that the camera clock was set to Universal Time. -i Identify files but don't decode them. Exit status is 0 if dcraw can decode the last file, 1 if it can't. -i -v shows metadata. dcraw cannot decode JPEG files!! REPAIR OPTIONS -I Read the raw pixels from standard input in CPU byte order with no header. Use dcraw -E -4 to get the raw pixel values. -P deadpixels.txt Read the dead pixel list from this file instead of ".badpixels". See FILES for a description of the format. -K darkframe.pgm Subtract a dark frame from the raw data. To generate a dark frame, shoot a raw photo with no light and do dcraw -D -4 -j -t 0. -k darkness When shadows appear foggy, you need to raise the darkness level. To measure this, apply pamsumm -mean to the dark frame generated above. -S saturation When highlights appear pink, you need to lower the saturation level. To measure this, take a picture of something shiny and do dcraw -D -4 -j -c photo.raw | pamsumm -max The default darkness and saturation are usually correct. -n noise_threshold Use wavelets to erase noise while preserving real detail. The best threshold should be somewhere between 100 and 1000. -C red_mag blue_mag Enlarge the raw red and blue layers by the given factors, typically 0.999 to 1.001, to correct chromatic aberration. -H 0 Clip all highlights to solid white (default). -H 1 Leave highlights unclipped in various shades of pink. -H 2 Blend clipped and unclipped values together for a gradual fade to white. -H 3+ Reconstruct highlights. Low numbers favor whites; high numbers fa- vor colors. Try -H 5 as a compromise. If that's not good enough, do -H 9, cut out the non-white highlights, and paste them into an image generated with -H 3. COLOR OPTIONS By default, dcraw uses a fixed white balance based on a color chart illumi- nated with a standard D65 lamp. -w Use the white balance specified by the camera. If this is not found, print a warning and use another method. -a Calculate the white balance by averaging the entire image. -A left top width height Calculate the white balance by averaging a rectangular area. First do dcraw -j -t 0 and select an area of neutral grey color. -r mul0 mul1 mul2 mul3 Specify your own raw white balance. These multipliers can be cut and pasted from the output of dcraw -v. +M or -M Use (or don't use) any color matrix from the camera metadata. The default is +M if -w is set or the photo is in DNG format, -M other- wise. Besides DNG, this option only affects Olympus, Leaf, and Phase One cameras. -o [0-6] Select the output colorspace when the -p option is not used: 0 Raw color (unique to each camera) 1 sRGB D65 (default) 2 Adobe RGB (1998) D65 3 Wide Gamut RGB D65 4 Kodak ProPhoto RGB D65 5 XYZ 6 ACES -p camera.icm [ -o output.icm ] Use ICC profiles to define the camera's raw colorspace and the de- sired output colorspace (sRGB by default). -p embed Use the ICC profile embedded in the raw photo. INTERPOLATION OPTIONS -d Show the raw data as a grayscale image with no interpolation. Good for photographing black-and-white documents. -D Same as -d, but with the original unscaled pixel values. -E Same as -D, but masked pixels are not cropped. -h Output a half-size color image. Twice as fast as -q 0. -q 0 Use high-speed, low-quality bilinear interpolation. -q 1 Use Variable Number of Gradients (VNG) interpolation. -q 2 Use Patterned Pixel Grouping (PPG) interpolation. -q 3 Use Adaptive Homogeneity-Directed (AHD) interpolation. -f Interpolate RGB as four colors. Use this if the output shows false 2x2 meshes with VNG or mazes with AHD. -m number_of_passes After interpolation, clean up color artifacts by repeatedly applying a 3x3 median filter to the R-G and B-G channels. OUTPUT OPTIONS By default, dcraw writes PGM/PPM/PAM with 8-bit samples, a BT.709 gamma curve, a histogram-based white level, and no metadata. -W Use a fixed white level, ignoring the image histogram. -b brightness Divide the white level by this number, 1.0 by default. -g power toe_slope Set the gamma curve, by default BT.709 (-g 2.222 4.5). If you pre- fer sRGB gamma, use -g 2.4 12.92. For a simple power curve, set the toe slope to zero. -6 Write sixteen bits per sample instead of eight. -4 Linear 16-bit, same as -6 -W -g 1 1. -T Write TIFF with metadata instead of PGM/PPM/PAM. -t [0-7,90,180,270] Flip the output image. By default, dcraw applies the flip specified by the camera. -t 0 disables all flipping. -j For Fuji Super CCD cameras, show the image tilted 45 degrees. For cameras with non-square pixels, do not stretch the image to its cor- rect aspect ratio. In any case, this option guarantees that each output pixel corresponds to one raw pixel. -s [0..N-1] or -s all If a file contains N raw images, choose one or "all" to decode. For example, Fuji Super CCD SR cameras generate a second image underex- posed four stops to show detail in the highlights. FILES ./.badpixels, ../.badpixels, ../../.badpixels, ... List of your camera's dead pixels, so that dcraw can interpolate around them. Each line specifies the column, row, and UNIX time of death for one pixel. For example: 962 91 1028350000 # died between August 1 and 4, 2002 1285 1067 0 # don't know when this pixel died These coordinates are before any stretching or rotation, so use dcraw -j -t 0 to locate dead pixels.
