What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Check supported RAW vendor
02
Validate file integrity and repair
03
Determine if image is already linear
04
Use embedded or standard color profile
Use this flowchart when designing or documenting RAW import, demosaicing, and linearization steps in photo editing or image processing software.
