This format is mostly specific +to a camera and cannot be read by most image editing applications. +Our goal is to supply you with a tool, where you can have the benefits of +RAW images and the ease of use of JPEG images. +The main focus of Rawstudio is to enable efficient review and fast processing +of large image collections. We aim to supply you with a tool that makes it +possible for you to review and process several hundred images +in a matter of a few hours. + +Rawstudio will convert your RAW files into JPEG, PNG or TIF images which you +can then print or send to friends and clients. You can also upload photos +directly to Picasa, Flickr and Facebook galleries. + +Rawstudio is intended as the first tool in your image processing chain. +After you have made your overall image adjustments to your image, you can +use an image editing application to further work on your images. +Rawstudio itself is a highly specialized application for reviewing and +processing RAW images, not a fully featured image editing application. + +See more about Rawstudio here: + +http://rawstudio.org/blog/ + + +*** Feature List *** + + * Intuitive GTK+ interface + * Full DNG Color Profile support + * Batch processing + * Tethered shooting + * Various post-shot controls (white balance, saturation and exposure compensation among others) + * Easy and flexible copy&paste settings between images + * Develop images directly on storage card + * Image tagging and sorting + * Automatic lens distortion correction + * Advanced noise reduction + * Unique intelligent sharpening + * Chromatic aberration and vignetting correction + * Exposure mask + * Cropping + * Straighten + * Fullscreen mode + * Secondary monitor support + * Image location independent + * Automatic filenaming based on EXIF information + * 32 bit float point precision image processing + * Optimized for and SSE and SSE2 (detected runtime) and fully multithreaded + And much more... + +*** Contact *** + + E-mail: [email protected] + +*** Mailing lists ** + +For users: [email protected], go here to subscribe: http://rawstudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rawstudio-users +For developers: [email protected], go here to subscribe: http://rawstudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rawstudio-dev +SVN commit messages: [email protected], go here to subscribe: http://rawstudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rawstudio-commit _______________________________________________ Rawstudio-commit mailing list [email protected] http://rawstudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rawstudio-commit
