Nikon D7000 raw white level too high

Open kofa73 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

The following shows a small part of an overexposed Nikon D7000 raw file in darktable 3.9.0+1483~gfb7ae22e9, with -1 EV applied in the exposure module, and raw clipping indicator enabled: image

As you can see, most the magenta area is not marked as overexposed. RawTherapee's camconst.json lists the max RGB levels as "white": [ 16300, 15700, 16300 ], // typical R 16383, G 15778, B 16383 https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/blob/dev/rtengine/camconst.json#L1680

Changing the raw white level to 15780 (close to the 'typical' G level of 15778) produces the following - the clipping indicator closely matching the clipped (magenta) areas: image

For the reference: this is where white point is specified in RawSpeed: https://github.com/darktable-org/rawspeed/blob/8c9b377e46ea41530a04504974247d87240450be/data/cameras.xml#L5309
