September 19, 2014 update: New DLL for read most resents DSLR raw files (Canon 6D, Sony alpha 7s, ...).
Download the file libdcraw.zip and remplace in your IRIS installation directory the actual libdcraw.dll by the new. It is all!


 

December 6, 2011 update
To view and process RAW images from latest digital cameras (DSRL), download the present file libdcraw.dll (dcraw V9.11, Nov. 2011). Replace the existing libdcraw.dll file located in the IRIS installation directory with the new version. Then run IRIS.

Choose your model. It is not necessarily in the list. Make trial and error to find the configuration that restores the right colors for your RAW image. See some examples below.

Canon 60D : select configuration CANON (50D/5Dmk2,7D)
Canon 600D : select configuration CANON (50D/5Dmk2,7D)
Canon 1100D : select configuration CANON (5D/20D/40D/350D/500D)

NEW FEATURES OF VERSION 5.59
June 24, 2010

Support of DSRL camera Canon 550D

For a correct colors decoding for the 550D, select the option:



For decode (or develop) a DSRL RAW image to a CFA image, use the drag & drop: see these tutorial or roadmap. You can now also use the in-line command CONVERTRAW for decode RAW images. For example, if your input sequence is 1.CR2-M42, M42-2.CR2, M42-3.CR2 :

>CONVERTRAW M42- RESULT 3

This produces the CFA sequence: RESULT1.FIT, RESULT2.FIT, RESULT3.FIT
(you'll probably have to rename your RAW images before, and also select your DSRL model in the camera setup dialog box). Use LOADRAW for load an individual image.
