RawDigger: Raw Image Analyzer

View a precise real RAW histogram as you have never seen it before

RawDigger is a tool allowing to view, study, and analyze pure raw data as recorded by digital photo- and certain video cameras.

RawDigger is a microscope of sorts that lets you drill down into raw data both on Mac OS X and Windows.

RawDigger doesn’t alter the raw data in any way. RawDigger is not a raw convertor. Instead, it allows you to see the data that will be used by raw convertors.

RawDigger supports nearly all cameras that have raw capability. Support for new cameras is usually implemented within few weeks after raw samples become available.


RawDigger Features

General Tools and Features

● RawDigger allows one to display and research the real Raw Histogram of the raw data, which greatly differs from the in-camera histogram, as well as histograms presented by most of the raw converters.

⚬ To facilitate accurate raw image study, the histogram can be displayed in different modes, over the whole image or rectangular selections of the portions of the image.

⚬ The histogram can be exported for further study as a spreadsheet (CSV), or as a PNG for presentation.

● Overexposure and Underexposure Statistics will show the percentage of overexposed and underexposed pixels.

● The Overexposure (OE) and Underexposure (UE) Indications will show you exactly what areas of the shot are blown out or underexposed and in which color channel(s) it happened (best if used in per-channel view).

⚬ One can set the level of Underexposure (UE) indications according to one's needs.


Some of the More Advanced Features (depending on the RawDigger edition)

● RAW data export as TIFF

● Plot and save per channel raw data histograms for both the entire file and for an arbitrary rectangular area of the file (selection); the histograms can also be saved as graphics (PNG) or as a table (CSV) for further external processing.

● Calculate the statistics per channel (minimum, maximum, average, root-mean-square deviation StdDev) for the entire file and for an arbitrary rectangular selection.

● Save the results of the calculated statistics in a processing-friendly form - CSV, CGATS (for an arbitrary number of rectangular areas of the file).

● Save the compression curves of raw files in a tabulated form (for cameras and raw data formats where such curves are used).
