[UFRaw-Devel] [PATCH] FUJIFILM X-E1: White Balance Presets

[Luca C. <lu...@pc...>]

Hi there!

Resending after my first attempt yesterday went I do not know where:
please add an indication that the mailing list is subscriber-only,
emails from non-subscribed people end without any reply (no discard and
no moderation).

I am evaluating alternatives to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for a friend
of mine who has a Canon EOS 7D and FUJIFILM X-E1 and, given my
involvement with Debian, I have already started playing with such
cameras and UFRaw:

  <http://bugs.debian.org/729026>

However, the FUJIFILM 'X-Trans' support in UFRaw is still not enough:

  <https://sourceforge.net/p/ufraw/discussion/434060/thread/99c10c54/>

While I am not a photographer, IMHO the major problem is that imported
images are too much dark by default: setting the UFRaw exposure
compensation at 2.25 starts to match the camera-produced JPG.  ATM, I do
not know if this is due do missing ICC profiles or not, I could not find
any on the FUJIFILM website, but custom-made ones are available at:

OTOH, before dealing with such a problem, the attached patch adds the
missing White Balance Presets for firmware 1.01, while adapting
wb_extract.pl for such images.

The unofficial Debian packages (X-Trans plus the patch included) and the
RAW images are available upon request.  The whole set is ~1.5GB, always
depicting the same subject, i.e. the "Pocket Guide" (Code: 3452) from
The Color Wheel Company, which will be used for color matching between
the two cameras:

Please note that FUJIFILM provides sample images as well, but I have not
used them at all:

Support for the XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS lens is underway :-)

Thx, bye,
