dark conversion of CR2 files

[alvgarc]

Hi:

I always obtain from .cr2 to .jpg a dark jpg (compared it with the thumbnail image of the CR2,captured by the C350D).

Here you have one example:

1) The original .cr2 : IMG_7380.CR2 -> http://ul.to/hhz376

2) The Jpeg created by the camera: IMG_7380.JPG -> http://ul.to/djtq71

3) The one from convert: (convert -quality 100 IMG_7380.CR2 IMG_7380_convert.JPG) -> http://ul.to/4m2fkr

Thanks for your feedback

ImageMagick uses the dcraw program as a delegate to convert the CR2 file to something it can read. By default this conversion produces a 16-bit linear image. You will have to change the options to the dcraw program in delegates.xml so that it will produce an 8 bit colour image.
See: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#crw
and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#delegates and more specifically, this http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#delegate_dcraw

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.1/config
grep -ir "cr2" *

I did a search for cr2 and none found.
So how do I get a WB with decent lighting ?
