Case: i have two exactly the same images, shot with 5 seconds in between.
These two images are visually identical when viewed:
In their JPEG preview.
In Adobe ACR
In dcraw (tested v9.22, 9.24 and 9.25) with commands -T -w -W.
Then when i use dcraw_emu as:
dcraw_emu -T -w -W
The two sequential images have a slightly different exposure, one is brighter than the other. How can this be possible? A link to the two images I have hosted here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdmqgjie526ygmq/dcraw_emu_brightness_issue.zip... .
Please see if you can reproduce my result, or if you have any idea how this is possible. I have tried around 4 versions of LibRaw (and dcraw_emu) and they all produce the same erroneous result.

LibRaw (and dcraw_emu) with
LibRaw (and dcraw_emu) with default settings uses automatic maximum level detection (to prevent 'pink clouds effect', 5 years ago I've written small article about it, it is in Russian, but google translate will help: http://blog.lexa.ru/2010/03/28/taina_rozovykh_oblakov.html )
To turn this detector off (and produce results nearly the same as dcraw) use -e 0 switch of dcraw_emu.

Although i think you meant to say '-W'. This should turn auto brightening off, but it clearly does not for my images.

Did you mean to say '-c 0' ?
Sure, I mean to say -c 0:
Sure, I mean to say -c 0:
-c float-num Set adjust maximum threshold (default 0.75)
Sorry for inconvenience, I need to sleep more :)
