COMPARISON

The goal is to compare the quality of various RAW demosaicing methods. Any postprocessing was avoided as much as possible. Sharpen, Noise Reduction etc features were disabled.

RAW conversion was done with these programs:

• Raw Photo Decoder "dcraw" v8.72 (Revision: 1.380)
• Raw Therapee v2.1
