Thank you for this evaluation and your participation.
When Ciecam was created in 2012, I created Rawpedia documentation.
This was only intended to make people aware of what it was, and not how to use it.
I described the 3 processes:
- Scene conditions.
- Image adjustments : which takes into account physiological aspects (simultaneous contrast, surround, etc.).
- Viewing conditions.
With Wayne’s help @Wayne_Sutton , and the integration into LA (Local adjustments), we moved to the user side. Simplify the vocabulary (that of research), simplify the GUI, reduce the number of settings.
The documentation has been updated:

I’m not going to (re)describe all the links, but the documentation has been updated for LA.
It’s a bit the same thing for Wavelets…
From work of Ilia Popov and Emil Martinec then in collaboration with Ingo Weirich, wavelet has been enriched considerably for example with things that look like “Diffuse and sharpen”.
It’s a complex tool (I don’t really see how to do it otherwise), but documentation was produced around 2 to 3 years ago, with the help of several collaborators (thanks to them).

Same comment for integration in Local Adjustments as for Ciecam.
Retinex also has its documentation.
This absolutely does not solve the problem of their complexity and how to make them known (and perhaps get them used ?).
Those present in LA are “simpler” notably Ciecam.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the development of these tools and the writing of the documentation.
