You are confused. The processing for out of camera jpgs ascribe color according to what? According to the color space associated with camera raw output. How does the color of each full-color output ...

A DNG also includes color space, so do certain original raw formats. For others, associated color space is implicit. Do you really think that out of camera jpgs are derived from raw without ...

Except there are multishot raw files that contain all components for each pixel, linear raw files that contain all components for each pixel, and certain Foveon-Sigma-Polaroid files that contain ...

Of course it does. Because that's the reality. It is an image to begin with. Look at what CIFF means. You can't say manufacturers just picked a convenient container and reused it, and that way the ...

Let's try and explain them that they are incorrect (why uncompressed, by the way? - a converter can output a zip- or an lzw-compressed tiff data; why RGB? - some converters offer CMYK output, and ...

It doesn't need to. If you want to describe the process, use the appropriate correct terms.

You are processing a tiff into a tiff.

This is the open talk forum. You shouldn't disclose any secret knowledge here.

Yes, and a minor point: - processed, not post-processed. Processing precedes post-processing. Raws are considered to be unprocessed (not strictly true, but on the other hand the processing that is ...

It looks like a tiff, it reads like a tiff, but it is not a tiff. What is it, then? The only problem with this marvelous catch phrase is that it is wrong. Even full-color bitmap TIFFs are often ...

So are Canon CR2, Olympus ORF, Pentax PEF, Sony SRF, SR2, ARW, few MF formats, and Adobe DNG. I'm sure I've forgotten some. TIFF = Thousands of Incompatible File Formats, or they say it is a petty ...

Two things. First, you don't see raw files directly unless you are using a specialized software. What you normally see is not a raw data but a conversion of a raw file to some working color space ...

EI-166? LVDS, digital front end, present in Nikon Df (based on a NC81366W Nikon sensor), D600/D610, D3200 (NC81369R, Nikon sensor), maybe in some other models too. Nikon D4 (NC81366W Nikon sensor, ...

Yes you are, and this post of yours makes it even more obvious. Instead of having a sensible discussion you are throwing angry insults. For a person who can't comprehend it because of very little ...

So? Digital cameras are not your line, but you have no problem discussing digital cameras. Judging by your nervous response my English is good enough for you to understand exactly what I meant. Oh, ...

Contrary to what he says Canon does use front-end, it is right there on the diagram they supplied (the one in my previous post).

Identifying the chip doesn't make the case. External ADCs may coexist with internal ones, to be used for video, certain raw modes, rgb measurements in real time, other needs. A more useful data may ...

We are once again at the point where the architecture for small and large pixels and sensors needs to be different, but we will reach better convergence in not so distant future.

EOS R, not 5Ds. Since you've mentioned 5Ds, EOS R is perceived to be better than EOS R (higher res). D850 is perceived to be better than Z 7 (no banding, AF). But of course you are right, all of ...

Large to the point they are impractical for small cameraphone pixels, and that depletes money needed for fast and successful intensive R&D.
