Manual bad pixel removal

I'm not sure how to set this up.  I've downloaded to my computer show_bad.zip, but how do I use it?  Do I put it on the SD card with CHDK, and run in from my camera?  The CHDK 1.2.0 isn't too clear.

Thanks!

show_bad.zip should contain an executable you would be used on your PC to generate a list of bad pixels. However, this tool is very old and only supports raw files for a few old cameras. Which camera do you have?

You can use chdkptp to generate a badpixel list from a dng file, see "Generating badpixel lists" https://www.assembla.com/spaces/chdkptp/wiki/DNG_Processing

The tools seems to use the same trick as dcraw - looking for at the RAW file size and matching that to predefined row & column dimensions.   

It would not be too hard to write a script to scrape all the platform_camera.h files for CAM_RAW_ROWPIX  & CAM_RAW_ROWS data and build a table covering every CHDK supported camera.  The tool could use that or could be upgraded to accept a camera name from the command line.

Is this worth any effort?

Thanks for the replies.

I thought there was a difference between badpixel.bin (for DNG) and Manual bad pixel removal (also DNG?).  So "Manual bad pixel removal" doesn't work with JPEG images?  Why would you use one over the other?
