Hi Alex,
I use the prebuilt library for win 64 and successfully embedded into visual studio. I would like to share my method as following:
1. Extract the binaries for x64.
2. Go into visual project. Open Project Properties, In Configuration Properties:
a. /Debugging/Enviornment: add the path to LibRaw-xxx\bin
b. /C/C++/General/Additional Include Directories: add the path to LibRaw-xxx\
c. /Linker/General/Additional Library Directories: add the path to LibRaw-xxx\lib
/Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies: add libraw.lib and libraw_static.lib
My testing code is following:

#include "libraw/libraw.h"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "iostream"
#include "stdio.h"

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main() {
// Let us create an image processor
LibRaw iProcessor;
// Open the file and read the metadata
iProcessor.open_file("D:/[01]Luan_van_thac_si/PROJECT/Non_Cuda/SLIC/SLICSuperPixel/DSC01042.ARW");

// The metadata are accessible through data fields of the class
cout << "Image width = " << static_cast(iProcessor.imgdata.sizes.width)
<< ", Image height = " << static_cast(iProcessor.imgdata.sizes.height) << endl;

waitKey();
return 0;
}

Results: Image width = 6024, Image height = 4024

I hope this answer will help other users and thanks for wonderful library!

I think its because of the exiftool. The original IIQ image metadata seems different. Do you know an easy way to tell if its in the exif or xmp ? I will ask my coworker to see if we can create a IIQ with gps and no sensitive info but it may take several days.

Thank you for your reply. I don't have any images with GPS from our company that may not be sensitive to post on a forum but I found one having no gps information. I used the exiftool to copy exif metadata from one image (having gps) to this one. Hope that helps.

Assuming, you're using LibRaw's dcraw_emu sample, not some other app that uses LibRaw:

LibRaw's own TIFF writer routine is very simple, it is used to not depend on additional libraries (e.g. libtiff). So only minimal EXIF data is recorded into output.

LibRaw is opensource, we're open to user contribution. So feel free to implement own TIFF writer (w/ extensive EXIF recording) we will be happy to add it to LibRaw (if you wish so).

Thanks Alex

Hi Alex,
Thank you for the quick support.
For now, I think unaltered raw data would be enough for my purpose.

yes, raw colorspace is 'as is'

Use latest public beta.

Yes, it is still valid.

XYZ output is performed by applying color conversion matrix in convert_to_rgb() function

With default dcraw_emu settings output is scaled to saturate 1% of pixels, so result may differ for dcraw_emu -o 5 (than converted to sRGB)

Hi,

we created a new build that exposes the TIFF option as a C API. Not sure when it will be part of the official release but should be part of the Nightlies.

You can see how i have used it in my VB.NET program: avail here: https://github.com/totoantibes/LumixCameraAscomDriver/blob/master/LumixC...

scroll to line 1475 for the imports definitions and 1690 for the actual usage of the methods . You may have to change the calls for C# but i trust it should work just the same.

Note the new build was really to expose the -tiff option which is now avail via this statement:

<DllImport("libraw.dll", EntryPoint:="libraw_set_output_tif", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)>

Hope this helps

Robert
