As for the "best" post-processing settings for the raw image could the following scenario help ?
- setup a passthrough, logging, usb monitor - capture an x-ray image with the Windows software - simultaneously capture the raw image within the monitor Then, manually with, say, GIMP, adjust exp/br/y/contrast until the raw capture "looks like" the one shown by CareStream software. Wash, rinse, repeat with a few more x-rays. One might then be able to extrapolate the approximate settings ? Karsten
