Best Batch Raw Converter For Mac 2017

This is my first post here and I wish to introduce a little program i wrote. This is a RAW to FITS batch converter. Converter supports many cameras vendors: Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, Konica, Hasselblad and so on. May be useful for someone who shooting space with DSLR and wanna do a real science, search for variable stars for example. Program is very simple (see attached screenshot), you just set input directory, output directory and few conversion options. You can choose how to process color channels from the RAW file.

Possible options is: - convert RGB to avarage grayscale - store all three channels as separate images in a one FITS. - store all three channels in a separate FITS's - store only one selected channel Converter supports multithreading conversion, depending on your cpu/cores count. All data you entered in UI will store in FITS header. Some data (like exposure, date and camera model) may be acquired from the RAW file, this is preferable. This is a free software licensed under GPLv2 license. You can get it on github: Program uses libraw library and i highly recommend to get latest stable version of this library instead of using your distro version.

If you have multiple LibRaw versions on your system - please carefully check which version you linking and using in runtime. Correct Makefile if needed. Libraw version older than 0.17 may not correctly extract EXIF data from the RAW files. Also you will need cfitsio, any version is Ok. Sims 3 free online download for mac. User interface is built with GTK3 toolkit and tested with Gnome 3, Mate and Cinnamon DE on different Mint, Debian and Fedora distributions. After executing 'sudo make install' command this program should appear in your Applications menu Hope this program will be useful for someone. I will be glad to hear your feedback, propositions and bug reports Edited October 30, 2017 by OlegKutkov.

Feb 06, 2017  Hi FernandoBatista, Adding to what Lee D said, currently there's no way to apply adjustments/settings from the Develop Persona directly to the RAW files in a batch job without developing (process) them first.

New input fields in UI for RA and DEC of the observed object. FITS header was reworked, now it's mostly corresponds to standard, more fields was added.

Now it contains object coordinates in h:m:s and coordinates of the image central point which acts like a reference point. In future version will be added communication with astrometry.net service so all generated FITS's will contain full astrometry information. Also console version is under development and will be released soon. This version works with configuration file and it's more flexible. Hi Oleg, This is the version I use - running on a 2013 MacBook Pro.

Switch can convert between more than 40 file formats and is available on Windows and Mac. This software can batch-convert thousands of files faster than any converter we tested. Stephen, lot of thanks for your answer! This is the order I apply to the batch process: 1- All NEF are in a folder, only the NEF files. 2- I open the NEF and change the exposure, brightness, photo cut, lens correction, transform - auto perspective, scale, rotate.

My programming experience is very dated - 6502 processors on home computers, IBM8080 and Fortran IV on ICL1900 mainframes - all way back in the 1970's and 80's. Since then I've been a GUI 'wrapped in cottonwool' user I'm afraid. I am currently trying to get to grips with Linux (via VirtualBox on the NUC) and programming an Arduino (via the MBP) and at my age it could be too much!

Thank you again for a very useful utility. Adrian Edited November 8, 2017 by Adreneline Replaced image with the correct one.

I acquired an Ultrastar C for EAA last fall. (I only got a few chances to use it over the winter, but we got some desperately needed rain instead.

So that's ok.) The Ultrastar C has been astounding on the few evenings where the fates have yielded to properly working equipment and clear skies. I'm looking for pointers to tools and techniques for post-processing the color FITs image stacks captured from Starlight Live. I'm on a Mac so that limits some of the software options available. The docs for Starlight Live say there is a command line option ('-load-image-rggb') to reload a color FITs file into the program. Does this work from a Mac command line?
