Talk:Dcraw

Manpage link

Why does the link to the manpage go to a mirror site? Why not just link to: http://cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/dcraw.1.html ? Josh Thompson 16:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Good question, so I changed the link to your suggestion. --Berland 18:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

dcraw for Delphi

Added dcraw for Delphi by Davie Lee Reed to External Links 82.39.157.137 (talk) 19:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Initial release date

I can't find an initial release announcement. The current date up there was found by pulling the dcraw.c,v file on the dcraw homepage, running parsecvs on it to turn it into something I could browse more pleasantly, and flipping through the diffs in gitview until I found where he upped the version string to 1.00. I might as well have picked revision 1.3, on 1997-02-24, marked "Final 1.0 version". At this point, however, it was called "Canon PowerShot Converter". The earliest announcement relating to "dcraw" as such was a 2003 article. I'm not entirely pleased with the date that's on there--there's no evidence that it was actually released at that point--but it's better than nothing, and it has some grounding in fact. grendel|khan 21:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Used by Photoshop?

Well, that's what it says here: http://www.rawtherapee.com/?mitem=4&faqid=17. Comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.27.150 (talk) 13:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

These front-ends are not front-ends

The programs listed here as front-ends are not necessarily front-ends. Some are much more than a front-end, others aren't even front-ends at all, such as RawTherpaee which uses dcraw only for reading the raw file - all other modifications do not use dcraw. While RT should be listed in this article as it uses dcraw, it should not be under a "Front-end" heading, and this goes for other programs listed here as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrSlony (talk • contribs) 03:31, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Capitalization

Dave Coffin named the tool "dcraw," not "DCRAW;" the article should use the former. In addition, the word "raw" is not an initialism or acronym. The decision made for the Raw image format page to use "raw" should be applied here, as well, except when directly quoting phrases or names. Lovibond (talk) 13:56, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Is dcraw at end of life?

Dcraw hasn't been updated for a couple years now. As an example, it doesn't support Canon's flagship D5 Mark IV. Seems like libraw.org has now taken on the open source camera raw support torch. Should the article contain something about this? Brooksrichardbrown (talk) 20:53, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Presumptive answer: yes. There has been no update or movement on DCRaw for 8 or so years now (last update was 2018 and it's now 2026). Many projects that used to use DCRaw have since moved on to using LibRaw DigitalSorceress (talk) 13:15, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
