RAW processing of digital camera images

[robbat2]

I've been looking at the photos from my wedding - I specifically ask the photographer if I could get a copy of all of the RAW images (and I gave him plenty of DVD-Rs to put them on).

I'd heard there was some difference in processing results, but I'm surprised to see that Linux seems to be huge leaps ahead of Windows in terms of results.

Here's a small sample I put together:

- One from the wedding photographer (He used either Adobe Photoshop CS2, or the Canon utility)
- UFRAW
- DCRAW (configuration #1)
- DCRAW (configuration #2)

All image were saved/resaved with jpeg-75 compression, so that the files wouldn't be too large for online comparison.

I would suggest that you download all of them, and then compare them side-by-side, piecewise.

Thereafter, could you please vote here (if you don't have a livejournal account, please leave a comment with your vote instead)?
