PMRaw is a graphical user interface for Dave Coffin's dcraw.

Many digital cameras offer the ability to store their images not only in JPG- but in an own format, called RAW-data. These image-files have typically 12 bits for each colour (instead of 8 in ordinary true color images), resulting in 36 bits for every pixel, as opposed to 24 bits in ordinary true color images (which include JPG, BMP, TIFF).

Because the RAW-format is specific to each digital camera-model normal image-viewer-programs cannot display those RAW-images. You need a special RAW-viewer / -converter. One of these is PMRaw for OS/2.

PMRaw - Features:

PMRaw is at last a GUI-addon to the world-famous RAW-converter dcraw, which exists as OpenSource. Dcraw is commandline-based and as such its usage is quite ...., well, not intuitive, to say the least.

PMRaw sports a user-friendly graphical interface that wraps around all parameters of dcraw. In addition PMRaw offers a variety of useful features, such as saving the resulting PPM-image in TIFF-, BMP- or JPG-format as well as a versatile batch-mode to process a whole directory of RAW-images at once.
