RapidRAW 1.4.11
Reworked RAW Preprocessing, Curves Clipping, Fuji X-Trans Improvements & More!
This is an older version. Get the latest version
This update is all about core image quality. I implemented a completely new RAW preprocessing algorithm that handles color noise and sharpness significantly better than the previous version. The visual improvement in the whole pipeline is massive, so I decided to ship this immediately rather than waiting for the next major feature drop.
New Features
New RAW Preprocessing Algorithm
I've implemented a whole new raw preprocessing algorithm. It efficiently removes color noise and sharpens the image, offering a massive step up in quality in the whole pipeline compared to the previous version.
This update is also exciting for Fuji X-Trans users, as the new algorithm handles the sensor pattern much better, resulting in cleaner and sharper details.
Here is a comparison of 2 very noisy images alongside a Fuji X-Trans image at the end:
| Before (Old Algo, Lots of Color Noise) | After (New Algo, Only Luma Noise) |
|---|---|
Flat-Line Clipping in Curves
I've implemented flat-line clipping logic for the curves tool. You aren't limited to just lifting or pushing down curve points anymore; you can now drag the start and end points along the X-axis to clip the blacks or whites exactly how you need to.
Core Improvements
- Improved Lens Detection: I improved the Lensfun parser to detect lenses more reliably and added support for more manufacturers.
- Smoother Image Navigation: Rapidly switching images (like holding down arrow keys) is now much more fluid. I implemented logic to cancel pending load requests, so the app doesn't get slowed down trying to open images you've already skipped past.
- Minor Changes: Added curves cross-channel copy/paste, productivity context menu is now also shown in the editor view, wgpu improvements, RAW tonemapping on non-edited images fixed & more...
