Auto White Balance when viewing RAW images
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 8:46 am
Hello.
Is it possible to add auto white ballance when raw images are opened for viewing?
As far as I know XnView uses dcraw as RAW decoder (or based on it).
And RAW files from some cameras looks too green when decoding with "as shot" options - wrong white balance (this is not software problem, images really have to much green color).
But when decoding with -a option (apply auto white balance) - images looks good.
Unfortunately XnView have no such option and that raw images looks bad.
Is it possible to apply auto white balance automatically when opening raw images for viewing?
Or I think the better solution would be to add new option - something like that: "Apply auto white balance when decoding Raw".
In this case the user can decide to use camera white balance or auto white balance.
PS: if this is needed - I can upload such RAW image example somewhere to file sharing server (~5Mb).
