Hi, all! I don't think adding support for RAW formats would do anything beneficial to Hugin. My camera shoots 48-bit RAW files. I use Rawtherapee to convert them to 48-bit TIFF. There are thousands of settings combinations for conversion, even without touching what I consider "technical" settings like the different ways to demosaic an image. (RAW format isn't really an image format. It's a sensor-specific mosaic of values, not pixels, that have to be turned into pixel values.) Contrast, microcontrast, highlight/shadow recovery methods, noise reduction methods and settings, color balance, exposure curves, etc. Lots of stuff. Even fairly "simple" RAW conversion tools like dcraw or ufraw do far more than I'd want to have wedged into Hugin. Look into what Rawtherapee can do with RAW formats. David W.
