RAW not yet supported
« on: February 05, 2015, 06:57:16 am »

Can someone tell me if there is any chance to open a RAW not yet supported by any converter?
I probably need to change a lot of information so i need access to ALL the exif data....

Thank you!

You may try with exiftool.

Convert to DNG might work depending on this unnamed raw converter.

Did the camera come with software from, or included by, the manufacturer?  Seems unlikely that a camera with the ability to shoot raw would come with no way of actually using the raw files.

@ario Exiftool is not enough unfortunately :( But this evening I'll give it a deeper look, thank you!

@digitaldog it doesn't work unfortunately :(

@kirk This is the hard part.. ;)

where is the logic ? OP says " not yet supported by any converter? "... to convert to DNG you need the raw to be supported by ACR/LR and so by relevant release of DNG converter (surely there are some tools not from Adobe that can do this - but then again they do not come before some raw converters start to support the camera... dcraw code for example).

No, it only needs DNG support. The OP didn't say what converter he was using hence my language: depending on this unnamed raw converter.
Further, it makes no sense that there is no converter that can render the raw. Where did the raw come from? As Kirk pointed out, something has to decode it, it might not be the (unnamed) converter you wish to use!

If you are looking for a 3rd party converter then you are at the mercy of update cycles, etc.  If you are proficient at code and you know something about the structure of the raw file you are trying to decode, based on some precedent file type, then you can download and adapt David Coffin's dcraw C code.  This way, you can develop your own decoding routine.  Also, if whatever you are trying to decode is from an actual camera that exists, but is super new, try downloading dcraw or consult the website to see if the camera is supported.

You can try a hex dump and see if you can develop a pattern-matching or similar approach to find the EXIF in the raw, and then manipulate it that way.

If it is a Canon raw file, then see this, from the Magic Lantern forum:

http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7391.0

and this:

http://wildtramper.com/sw/tiffinfo/tiffinfo.html

If you have a NDA you will violate by providing any more information, then you are on your own.

No, it only needs DNG support.
the point was who will support that raw to DNG conversion... if ACR/LR do not support that raw itself/directly then Adobe does not offer raw to DNG conversion for example - so which DNG converter you are suggesting please ? you words = "Convert to DNG"... which tool ?

The latest version of course. It's quite possible it supports the raw, we don't know! The OP has said squat about it. Nor the other converters he's thinking about. If you take him literally, the raw can't be opened by ANY converter so the question and all answers are kind of moot given the limited info provided. Converting to DNG fixes this kind of support issue all time unless the truth is, NO converter can open the raw, then any suggestion other than learning to hack the format will not work. Happy now?

so you think that OP is wrong and latest public versions ACR/LR do indeed support the raw file in question (because otherwise neither them nor Adobe DNG converter can do a conversion - unless the trick with modifying tags will fool them)  ;D ... or you simply are so ingrained in Adobe's world that it was an automatic suggestion on your part  ::)

If "no" converter supports it, ACR doesn't support it.

If ACR doesn't support it, the current version of the DNG Converter doesn't support it.

And that may be less than an accurate statement. Especially if the camera in question in Canon 5Ds.

"IF" indeed no converter supports it, no converter supports it. The key here is 'if' as far too little about the file in question has (or can be?) answered.
