What is RawSpeed?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RawSpeed…

- is capable of decoding various images in RAW file format.
- is intended to provide the fastest decoding speed possible.
- supports the most common DSLR and similar class brands.
- supplies unmodified RAW data, optionally scaled to 16 bit, or normalized to 0->1 float point data.
- supplies CFA layout for all known cameras.
- provides automatic black level calculation for cameras having such information.
- optionally crops off  “junk” areas of images, containing no valid image information.
- can add support for new cameras by adding definitions to an xml file.
- decodes images from memory, not a file stream.
- is being continuously fuzzed |oss-fuzz| as part of the `oss-fuzz`_ project.
- is currently tested on |rpu-button-cameras| unique cameras, on |rpu-button-samples| unique samples.
  **Please read** `this <rpu-post_>`_ **for more info on how to contribute samples!**
- open source under the `LGPL v2`_ license.

RawSpeed does **NOT**…

- read metadata information, beside whitebalance information.
- do any color correction or whitebalance correction.
- de-mosaic the image.
- supply a viewable image or thumbnail.
- crop the image to the same sizes as manufactures, but supplies biggest possible images.

So RawSpeed is not intended to be a complete RAW file display library,  but only act as the first stage decoding, delivering the RAW data to your application.

Version 2, new cameras and features
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Support for Sigma foveon cameras.
- Support for Fuji cameras.
- Support old Minolta, Panasonic, Sony cameras (contributed by Pedro Côrte-Real)
- Arbitrary CFA definition sizes.
- Use pugixml_ for xml parsing to avoid depending on libxml.

Getting Source Code
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can get access to the latest version using `from here <rawspeed_>`_. You will need to include the “RawSpeed” and “data” folder in your own project.

CMake-based build system is provided.

Integration into LLVM LNT / Test-Suite
--------------------------------------
It is possible to natively integrate the RawSpeed into LLVM test-suite, and use
`LLVM LNT <http://llvm.org/docs/lnt/>`_ to do testing, benchmarking, performance tracking.
For quick overview please see `LLVM LNT / Test-Suite Integration <lnt>`_

Background of RawSpeed
----------------------
The main objectives were to make a very fast loader that worked for 75% of the cameras out there, and was able to decode a RAW file at close to the optimal speed. The last 25% of the cameras out there could be serviced by a more generic loader, or convert their images to DNG – which as a sidenote usually compresses better than your camera.

RawSpeed is not at the moment a separate library, so you have to include it in your project directly.

Please see <https://rawspeed.org/> for documentation.
Doxygen-generated documentation is available at <https://rawspeed.org/doxygen>

Submitting Requests and Patches
