2. I’m a retired I.T. pro (grammer) and a digital photograpy enthusiast. Since I’ve got a RAW capable camera (Olympus E-330) I’ve been using Olympus Studio which is both a ridiculous software and a wonderful tool. Ridiculous because it’s very slow, somewhat buggy and have a stupid GUI. Powerful because it can communicate with the camera lens (through undocumented EXIF Maker’s Notes, alas) and can correct vignetting, barrel/pincushion distortion (knowing the lens ID, apperture, distance setting, zooming), can follow or change the many camera parameters and can adjust shadows using very useful Apical technology.

   Nevertheless I use dcraw sometimes because it is included in Autopano Pro. Now I want to use Tufusion (Max Lyons Tufuse + Entropy GUI.)

   I mostly shot and assemble panorama, from 360×180 degree spherical ones to much simple ones and this explains why I take so much care of vignetting, distortion and higher than my camera sensor dynamic range.

   I add this comment because I know that delivering free software to unknown silent users is sometimes quite not fun…

3. XP 64-bit. The standard dcraw build does not run – it complains about being built for the wrong machine type.
   The dcrawMS.exe version does run under xp-64.

   Strangely, other 32-bit versions of dcraw, such as ones built with Cygwin, will run under xp-64.
