Reading color

Hi,

I am trying to read raw images with libraw and paint them to screen.

I need to extract per pixel RGB values where each color component must be in 0-255 range.

I am loading a raw file, iProcessor.imgdata.params.output_bps reports 8 bits per plane.

Whilst reading the image with iProcessor.imgdata.image[idx][0], I see values way above 255.

Am I missing something simple ?

Thanks.

Paul

Yes, output is converted to

Yes, output is converted to 8-bit only on file/memory writing stage (i.e. on output).

So, you may call dcraw_make_mem_image() to create 3-component 8-bit bitmap.
