And as if that wasn't already enough, even greater volume discounts of close to 50% off are available.Complete newly here in terms of DXO products. Thru Septemwhen the Summer Sale ends, all LibRaw products are available at a 25% discount over standard pricing, with purchase information for FastRawViewer here, and for RawDigger here. Imaging Resource staffers use both apps regularly, and we've found them to be exceptionally useful tools - and if you act quickly, you can purchase one or both right now at a significant discount.

(Iliah Borg, alongside Alex Tutubalin, are main developers behind LibRaw, and the creators of two of our favorite imaging applications, FastRawViewer and RawDigger. This indicates that the main subframe may be formed by adding the data numbers from both subpixels and clipping the result to 16383, while the auxiliary subframe contains the data for only one set of subpixels, and at base ISO it seems to be 'full-well limited'. PS: Low-sensitivity raw files from other recent Canon camera models do not reach the maximum number possible with 14-bit data, which is 16383. My sincerest thanks to the Imaging Resource team for their continuous hard work, and for making raw samples available to the community. Without any further ado, we'll let Iliah do the talking, and explain just how he came to the realization that Dual Pixel RAW could be repurposed to work in this manner!Īs you can see, they are identical within the margin of error of the experiment.

Properly processing a Dual Pixel RAW exposure can provide you with a full stop of additional highlight detail, potentially allowing you to salvage a shot that was accidentally overexposed - at least, so long as you were willing to put up with the huge file size of a Dual Pixel RAW file, as in the 5D Mark IV each such image weighs in at around a hefty 72MB, twice as large as a standard raw. (And as an added bonus, he's also offering discounts of 25% and upwards on his software if you order right now!) But while the function, which allows subtle tweaks to focus, bokeh and ghosting post-capture, is pretty cool, our good friend Iliah Borg - he and Alex Tutubalin are the developers of the superb FastRawViewer and RawDigger apps and the related LibRaw library - has pointed out what strikes us as an even more exciting aspect of the technology. Called Dual Pixel RAW, it's explained in great detail by IR founder and publisher Dave Etchells in our Canon 5D Mark IV review. A week ago, the Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR launched, and with it a brand-new feature based around the same technology that underlies Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF function.
