Описание программы Raw Photo Processor

Raw Photo Processor is a very useful RAW converter, supporting almost all available digital RAW formats made for photographers by a photographer-programmer with unmeasurable amount of help and tutoring from my friend, professional photographer Iliah Borg.
We just got fed up with those converters made by programmers for their upper management :)
Think of it as of a development machine in terms of film photography - first you have to develop your roll right, then do whatever you want with it.
So this is NOT a full featured photo processing package, you will need Photoshop or some other tool to apply sharpness, cropping and so on, but you may use RPP for some very limited amount of operations.
Let me list those operations below with some explanations:
4-channel white balance - this is probably the most important operation in RAW processing and it has to be applied at very early stages of processing.
· Exposure compensation - another very sensitive step, should use high precision math to preserve shadows and highlights and it is almost impossible to make it properly during post-processing in Photoshop.
· Saturation - very tricky operation, because it has to account for specifics in human's color perception and traditionally it's implemented with very crude methods. I'm trying to keep up with Color Science and using a lot more sophisticated approach.
· Brightness and contrast - these represent my and Iliah's Borg attempts to create tone curve adjustments based on actual film density measures in different development modes. After all you finally should be able to obtain that dearly-looking film-like tonality in your pictures.
· Interpolation - RPP supports 3 methods at the moment. AHD, VNG and Half - all modified versions of Dave Coffin's implementations in dcraw. Actually Half is not interpolation - this is a half resolution recombination when four single-colored pixels (RGBG) combined to one RGB, very fast, color accurate, but at price of lost resolution.
· Highlights recovery - a simple tool to neutralize clipped channels if present (f.e. the "pink sky" problem).

· История версий и изменений Raw Photo Processor

· New feature - monochrome mode. This includes Photobrom Black, Bromportret Sepia, Iodocont Green, Iodocont Blue and experimental Red-O-Green profiles. All made by Iliah Borg as always. All of them measured from real photo papers. In this mode channel balance sliders act like a channel mixer, so you may adjust influence of each channel on overall tonality individually.
· Added custom profile for Olympus E410.
· Help menu - provide feedback and copy crash log to clipboard (so you can paste to email for me). Also it gives easy access to RPP's document file.
· Copy Tags option state is preserved between restarts and also now it copies embedded to Raw IPTC info (if you have any).
· Fixed 'red dots' issue AKA weird colors in clipped highlights or shadows.
· Other fixes and UI tweaks. F.e. Local Contrast may be disabled now without loosing it's value and you may quickly check it's effect on an image.
