Re: RAW conversion -- look into dcraw
You might look into dcraw, the command-line demosaic program that is at the core of most raw developer software and firmware, even from camera vendors. Among the parameters you can set, gamma is probably one of them. Dave Coffin produced and maintained the program for free for many years. I think he...

Re: Check for update error???
