README

        
LibRaw can decode most common DNG formats (Bayer/Linear, 16-bit integer and 

floating point) by itself (you need to use zlib for deflate decompression 

support and libjpeg for lossy compressed DNGs).

Some rare flavours of DNG files (e.g. for 8-bit files) are not implemented in 

LibRaw. These files never come from camera or DNG files created by 

Adobe DNG Converter, but created by some processing software that uses DNG as

intermediate format.

To decode such files you need to compile LibRaw with Adobe DNG SDK. This SDK

to be used internally, standard LibRaw API remains untouched (you may specify

what kinds of DNG files you want to decode via Adobe code, see below).

To build LibRaw with DNG SDK specify USE_DNGSDK in defines and adjust 

include/linker path settings to point to DNG SDK's include and library folders.

DNG SDK Version compatibility:

 - DNG SDK 1.6 and 1.7 are tested with LibRaw newer then 0.21

   If you want to use LibRaw with Modern DNG files please use:

     -- DNG SDK 1.7 for JpegXL compressed files

     -- DNG SDK 1.6+ to access Enhanced DNG frames

 - DNG SDK 1.5 may work too, but  have not tested w/ LibRaw.

 - Since LibRaw 0.20, DNG SDK 1.4 or newer is required 

 - There are several DNG SDK 1.4 versions circulated, the oldest known is 

   dated May 2012, you'll need the last one (dated June 2015).

 - This version is available from Adobe site: 

    http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/dng_sdk_1_4.zip

In your application

 

 * create dng_host object (or derived object, e.g. with multithreaded) entity in your program;

 * pass it to LibRaw via LibRaw::set_dng_host(dng_host *) call to enable DNG SDK use on runtime

 * adjust imgdata.rawparams.use_dngsdk parameter with one of this values

       (ORed bitwise):

       LIBRAW_DNG_NONE - do not use DNG SDK for DNG processing

       LIBRAW_DNG_FLOAT - process floating point DNGs via Adobe DNG SDK

       LIBRAW_DNG_LINEAR - process 'linear DNG' (i.e. demosaiced)

       LIBRAW_DNG_DEFLATE - process DNGs compressed with deflate (gzip)

       LIBRAW_DNG_XTRANS - process Fuji X-Trans DNGs (6x6 CFA)

       LIBRAW_DNG_OTHER - process other files (so usual 2x2 bayer)

       LIBRAW_DNG_8BIT - process 8bit DNGs (e.g. JPEG compressed ones)

    Default value for this field:

       LIBRAW_DNG_DEFAULT=LIBRAW_DNG_FLOAT|LIBRAW_DNG_LINEAR|LIBRAW_DNG_DEFLATE | LIBRAW_DNG_8BIT

    You also may use this macro to pass all supported DNGs to Adobe SDK:

       LIBRAW_DNG_ALL = LIBRAW_DNG_FLOAT|LIBRAW_DNG_LINEAR|LIBRAW_DNG_XTRANS|LIBRAW_DNG_OTHER | LIBRAW_DNG_8BIT
