cr2 auto-correcting maybe solved

[BabaG]

am not at computer with most of my cr2 files but was able to run
a brief test. applying the '-raw_camerabalance' switch looks like
it produces a much more normal image. will try in batch tonight
to see if the auto-correct issue goes away with this switch.

no such luck with the cr2 size issues, though. tried the -high_res,
-size, and various other switches but the images always comes up
at exactly half the width and half the height.

With the CR2, you have always the problem???

[BabaG]

yes, always. even on different systems. the cr2 files are all
from the same canon 5d camera.

Could you post a file to test?

[BabaG]

how would you like the cr2 posted? files are large, something
like 10-15mb i think (again not at the system in question).
is there a specific address i could post? ftp site? i can do this
later today if i find out what you would like me to do.

in the auto-correcting matter, '-raw_camerabalance' has
definitely made the difference. including it in the script has
eliminated this problem. i still would view this as a bug, as
i don't think it should apply any corrections or compensations,
particularly to raw images, without being told to do so. as it
is now, raw cr2 images (and perhaps others, i haven't tried
any) are subjected to this manipulation by default unless the
'-raw_camerabalance' option is applied.

thanks for the attention,
BabaG

Ok, i have it. If i use nconvert -out jpeg -high_res file.cr2, the result will be 4386x2920 pixels. Do you have that?

[BabaG]

no. my command is this:

nconvert -out $outformat -o $fname $tmp

this is being run in powershell.
$outformat = tga
$fname = test_00000.tga
$tmp = test_00000.cr2

have also tried:

nconvert -out $outformat -high_res -o $fname $tmp

even if i try your command exactly as you've stated it,
making a jpg, i get the same result.

i have also run this from cmd.exe with the same results.

cr2 dimensions = 4386x2920
tga dimensions = 2193x1460

nconvert = v4.78

thanks,
BabaG

[xnview]

nconvert = v4.78

You must use the 4.79 version

[BabaG]

ah. will try tonight when i get to the workstation. thanks.
