Main Presentation

Topic(s): UFraw

Speaker(s): Udi Fuchs

Backgrounder: by Ralph Green
Digital cameras are the norm these days. But, did you know that many digital cameras are capable of better quality pictures than the jpeg images we normally get? Some cameras offer the ability to save what are called raw images. These raw images contain all the information received by the digital sensor, which means greater color range and other features. Some cameras can save raw images right from the factory, and some can be modified to save them. In the latter category, CHDK adds many features to mainly Canon cameras, but that project is not part of this talk. I mention it because it is the project many will think of when you bring up raw digital camera images. UNIX users used to not have the tools to really handle these raw images easily. That was before UFraw and Udi is going to bring us up to date on this project. He is the project leader and currently resides in the Dallas area.
