The question how to make the synthetic raw mosaiced (using different patterns) remains.
I am not sure I understand correctly. I approach this considering that raw files are not white balanced, i.e. they are in the so called uniwb. Other WB is applied during raw conversion. Of course different cameras may have different uniwb but that has to do the hardware of the sensor (CFA etc) not with the built-in camera software which creates jpg previews. Or what are you talking about?
But this is the process of exposure. I am testing the next step - the processing of the exposed and recorded data. The way the raw converter works has nothing to do with the scene, its dynamic range, lens etc. (unless it is some “smart” software which makes “auto magic” and gives no control). If those are to be tested, one should fix the other thing - the software - which is what camera testing labs do. We just can’t have variables on variables. Only one thing at a time should be tested in order to make it objective.
Well, it is not. Someone already suggested how to do it. I just need the last piece - making it mosaiced.
As I explained - I am not testing lenses or cameras. As you see in my older test it is focused only on the very basics of raw conversion: to check how the program acts on the raster of the image, does it filter it badly, how does it handle demosaic. It clearly shows how the beloved ACR and C1 really suck. But to make it more meaningful and test further I need representative clear data, not just a shot of my monitor. Then I can control it, change it, test with or without noise etc etc…
Thanks. I hope someone can enlighten me on how to add mosaic. Then the rest will follow
