Ok.  But, and this may be a dumb question, it's a very fancy, expensive looking camera - one presumes that the person taking the pictures has the software that goes with it.  Can one not ask the person providing the imagery to convert the raw files to a more usable format?

They don't list prices for their software and there are no downloads. I am guessing they charge for the software and knowing this company it's not going to be cheap.

    According to the camera's data sheet, their FramePro software will
    take the proprietary format and output "Distortion-free, 8 and
    16-bit JPEG, TIFF and BSQ images with RGB, RGBN, NRG, NIR and NDVI
    band combinations"

    It doesn't really seem unreasonable for a camera to use a
    proprietary internal format, as long as they provide software to
    convert it to standard formats. Particularly if it's a camera with
    some special sensor characteristics.

    The real question is whether they provide their software with the
    camera, or whether you have to pay beaucoup bucks for it.

    I just upgraded but no luck with this file. Leica still sells
    this camera so they have no incentive to open up their formats.
    You can only process this file with their software apparently.

            Yea that was one of the first ones I tried. It looks like
            this raw file is proprietary so nothing is going to open it.

                Have you looked at darktable ,
                https://www.darktable.org/? It works with a lot of
                Raw image formats.  Not sure if it will handle any
                georeferencing information that might be associated
                with the image.

                    Hi All.

                    I am trying to deal with output from a Leica
                    RCD30 camera used in Aerial surveying. The camera
                    outputs .RAW files but these files are not
                    recognized by any of the tools I have used so
                    far. Oddly enough they actually have tiff headers
                    but renaming them to .tiff doesn't work either.

                    If anybody has any experience decoding these
                    files and turning them into geotiffs I would
                    appreciate it if they dropped me a line.

                    Thanks in advance.
