Best RAW converter for HLs?

[Daniel Browning]

One thing though, do you know what the Adj checkbox is for?

It doesn't affect the visual image, it just makes certain numbers easier to read and compare.


Normally, the raw numbers displayed by Rawnalyze are the exact same ones that are in the raw file. (If you draw a red rectangle around some part of the image with the right mouse button, you'll see the numbers I'm talking about.) That's good because most of the time we want to see the *actual* numbers


But these can be difficult to compare between different cameras because they have different bit depth (12-bit vs. 14-bit) or black points. That's where the "Adj" checkbox come in: it maps the values to 8-bits (which most of us are used to seeing anyway) and puts 0 at the black point and 255 at the white point.

ah! thank you, that makes perfect sense.
