Mrwtoppm - Linux programs for converting raw image files from Minolta DiMAGE 5, 7, 7i, 7Hi, and A1 cameras.

This is the home page for mrwtoppm, a collection of Linux programs for processing the RAW format files from Minolta DiMAGE cameras. The principal programs contained in the package are:

There are also several utilities for extracting the other information the camera stores in the raw format file, such as auto color balance, focus distance, time taken, camera settings, autofocus data etc.

The program is licensed under the Gnu Public License (GPL). Briefly: you can use and copy these programs freely as much as you want, but if you distribute a binary you also have to (be prepared to) include a copy of the source code, including any changes made to it.

Currently the programs work under several versions of Linux. I don't have access to other kinds of systems, but I'd like to make it platform independent. If you can get it working under a different platform, let me know so I can tell others. I'll try to incorporate any portability changes you send me.

As always, I'd like to continue improving the programs. If you've got any ideas for improving the program please let me know. For instance, do I need to implement better algorithms for interpolating the Bayer pattern CCD data? I'm quite happy with the current scheme (vector median color interpolation, vector median filtering, both in CIELab color space), perhaps followed by a bit of unsharp masking in the Gimp.

Regards,
Bradley Broom.
