Description:

The info tool

This is really a test program - doing nothing of any great value. It shows how to use the X3F IO library for reading and writing X3F files. It also dumps some information about the file. It is used thus:

x3f_io_test foo.x3f

The extract tool

This tool can extract the RAW Foveon sensor data and dump it as TIFF (or RAW). By default the data is scaled and gamma coded. It can also dump the JPEG (thumbnail) file. It is used thus:

x3f_extract -raw [-noscale] foo.x3f

x3f_extract -jpg foo.x3f

The first will create a file called foo.x3f.tif and the second foo.x3f.jpg. The x3f_extract tool can take several input files, i.e. work in batch mode.

DP1 RAW extraction unsupported...
