I would like to see an additional functionality: conversion from "raw" RAW image to black and white image WITHOUT any interpolation that is normally applied. This interpolation takes place because pixels on a CCD sensor have red, green or blue filters in front of them, arranged in so called Beyer pattern: RGRG.. for even line and GBGB.. for odd lines. This does not seem to be far fetched, there is already a personal build by
Jucifer that incorporates
toinech's custom JPG processing with curves. Since conversion to jpeg already introduces some losses, the best results could be achieved writing the output to an another RAW file, prefixed by, bww_*.crw
