Short Descriptions

4channels

generates four TIFF files from RAW data, one file per channel

dcraw_half

emulates "dcraw -h" (see DCRAW manpage)

mem_image

emulates "dcraw [-4] [-6] [-e]" (see DCRAW manpage)

postprocessing_benchmark

creates eight different renderings from one source file. The first and fourth one should be identical

simple_dcraw

emulates call to "dcraw [-D] [-T] [-v] [-e] [-4]" (see DCRAW manpage)

dcraw_emu

is an almost complete dcraw emulator (see DCRAW manpage)

half_mt
