    RawDigger 0.9.13

    Changes

    New functionality and major improvements

    • Improved: Most of the time-consuming operations are now performed using parallel processing, to the effect that opening a file and computing statistics and histogram is 3 to 5 time faster if performed on a 4-core processor.
    • New: Display of blown-out and underexposed areas. The values for under-   and overexposure can be adjusted through 
      Preferences -> Over/Under Exposure
      Please see the manual for the detailed description.
    • New: Open Next or Previous file in the current directory.
      This can be done either through File menu or using the hotkeys: Ctrl + Arrow Right, Ctrl + Arrow Left on a Windows platform; Cmd + Arrow Right, Cmd + Arrow Left on OS X.
      The sorting order for these commands is set in
      Preferences - Misc Options - File sort order for Next/Previous.
    • New: To open Raw files RawDigger now defaults to RawSpeed library, which is much faster than the standard one. The user can change this default through
      Preferences -> Data Processing -> Use RawSpeed library for file decoding.
      If using RawSpeed the following options can't be changed:
      • Data Processing -> Sony ARW2 Hack is always On,
      • Data Processing -> Linear Raw Curve is always Off.

      In order to set these options differently the user needs to switch off the option to use RawSpeed library. This is because RawSpeed library does not support all the options standard processing does.

    • New: On a Windows platform the user has the control to allow and disallow running multiple instances of the program, using
      Preferences - Misc Options - Run single Program instance.
      If single instance mode is On, starting a new RawDigger process results in the following:
      1. The new process passes the file name that was used to start it (if the file name was passed to to the process as a command-line parameter) to the already existing process.
      2. New process is terminated normally.

      The user can force mode off if RawDigger is started with newinstance parameter like: RawDigger -newinstance [file name]. This will cause the new RawDigger process to start; the process started like that will not accept file names from other RawDigger processes. On an OS X platform new RawDigger instances can be started via Terminal.

    RawDigger 0.9.12

    Changes

    • New cameras/data formats supported:
      • Fast Load DNG (Adobe LightRoom 4.x)
      • Canon: G1 X, SX220 HS, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 650D, EOS 1D-X
      • Casio: EX-Z8
      • Fujifilm: X-S1, HS30EXR, X-Pro1
      • Nikon: D4, D3200, D800, D800E
      • Olympus: E-M5

    RawDigger 0.9.11

    Changes

    • Program work has become faster:
      • Processing of parameter changes (Data Processing) has been optimized:
        • the file is reopened only if Linear Raw Curve or ARW2 Hack are changed and only if changes in these settings are significant for the current open file.
        • when Black Level settings are changed, no re-reading of RAW file takes place.
      • Multithreaded RGB rendering (for dual-core and multicore CPUs),program speed increases up to sixfold on quad-core CPU with HyperThreading switched on
      • Multithread subtraction of black level.
      • Accelerated calculation of image statistics.
    • Work with Clipboard:
      • the EXIF data can be copied to Clipboard
      • the selected rows from the Samples table can be copied to Clipboard
    • Bug fixes:
      • When Autoscale was set to On and the black level exceeded the maximum value in the image, the program crashed in an attempt to show the raw image.
      • When Reset Black Level on File load was set to On, indication of black level on the button in the program status bar did not change when the next file was opened.
      • The Cancel button in the file opening progress dialog did not function.
    • Cosmetic changes:
      • Image size limit at which RGB rendering is switched off is set by the user. The standard values are 90Mpix for 64-bit systems and 30Mpix for 32-bit ones.
      • Histogram: vertical lines corresponding to fractional values are also drawn to the right of the rightmost integer value; the fractional lines are not drawn outside the histogram field.
      • When the black level is set automatically, the set level is indicated on the black level setting button in the bottom status line.

    RawDigger 0.9.10

    • Integrated ExifTool utility for detailed EXIF/Makernotes display.
    • Improved handling of very big Raw files.
    • "Sony ARW2 Hack" for more detailed Sony files inspection.
    • Improved Histogram display.
    • Samples and Selections are movable by mouse.
    • Many minor interface changes.
    • Several minor bugs eliminated.

    RawDigger 0.9.9

    Changes

    • Added an option to set selection in pixel coordinates (Menu-Selection-Set Selection by Numbers)
    • Changed the behavior of Preferences dialogue to make it more intuitive
    • Reduced the amount of memory used
    • Data Processing settings (Subtract Black and its modes, Linear Curve) now affect the RGB on-screen rendering
    • When "Masked Pixels" parameter is changed:
      • the selection area is re-calculated to preserve the selection position relative to the image (that is, selection coordinates are changed)
      • if "Masked Pixels" is turned off the selection areas that include masked pixels are deleted
    • New Preferences parameter: Use Regional settings when saving CSV/CGATS.
      • If it is switched on, the decimal separator is set in accordance to the system settings; and if decimal separator is set to period (".") in system settings - a semicolon (";") is used for separating fields in CSV/CGATS files
      • If the parameter is switched off, period (".") is used as the decimal separator, and comma (",") is used as the field separator.
