Hello, how are you?
I´m new using the CHDK and when I take pictures in RAW when I view on my PC I see a black ring (or black vignette) in the angles. Know what? How can I fix it? (I don´t see it when i am shooting) :( :(

Canon SX40HS
Firmware 100I

Thanks !!!  :)

What you see is perfectly normal for your camera, the strong vignetting only appears at wide angle. To see what's happening, compare a camera jpeg with the corresponding raw image. You can get rid of it if you apply some lens distortion correction to your wide angle raw images.
If you're using Adobe products, you can find a user-made lens profile for your cam here.

When you record RAW/DNG images,  you are recording EXACTLY what the image sensor sees.  No corrections. cropping, filtering, or any other changes.  Pure raw image.   

So no,  there is nothing in the CHDK menus that changes this.

Here's some reading on CHDK RAW you might find interesting :

Not in CHDK, but you can correct it in processing. Some software has vignetting correction, or you can use a flat frame http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=10921.msg107098#msg107098
