Our friendly neighborhood @LebedevRI pointed out to me a little while ago that we had reached some nice milestones for https://raw.pixls.us.
Not surprisingly I had spaced out and not written anything about it (or really any sort of social posts). Bad Pat!
For anyone not familiar with RPU, a quick recap (we had previously written about raw.pixls.us earlier this year).
There used to be a website for housing a repository of raw files for as many digital cameras as possible called rawsamples.ch.
It was created by Jakob Rohrbach and had been running since March of 2007.
Back in 2016 the site was hit with a SQL injection attack that left the Joomla database corrupted (in a teachable moment, the site also didn’t have a database backup).
With the rawsamples.ch site down, @LebedevRI and @andabata worked to get a replacement option in-place and working: https://raw.pixls.us!
We grabbed all the files we could salvage from rawsamples.ch and @andabata setup the new page.
We’ve had a slowly growing response as folks have filled in gaps for camera models we still don’t have.
We have many raw samples that were not licensed as freely as we would like.
Ideally we are looking for images that have been released Creative Commons Zero (CC0).
This list is all samples we already have that are not licensed CC0, so if you happen to
have one of the cameras listed below please consider uploading some new samples for us!

We are really working hard to make sure we are a good resource of freely available raw samples for all Free Software imaging projects to use.
Thank you so much for helping out if you can!
Note that some cameras have multiple names. Take the first item on the first list for example. It is also called Canon EOS 1000D and Canon EOS Rebel XS. Reference: Canon EOS 1000D - Wikipedia.
Yes, a few entries in these two lists are actually about missing samples for aliases, not the main camera.
I think i need to look into tooling / better automation for creation of those two lists, and then maybe start a [META] thread with more-or-less valid / up-to-date lists, since that seems to be more user-friendly.
That is the point exactly. To have samples for all the possible raw file outputs.
Now, please upload the full set for that camera
(i.e. upload new 4 samples, as-if that sample is not there)
In response to the problem of attacks or other hazards to the raw sample archive, has anyone considered using IPFS as a means of mitigating some of the risk? Just curious. Not an expert on it but intrigued by the concept.
I uploaded a Nikon D3S .nef file. If there are are other formats I can not help, I borrowed the camera and only took a few pictures with the same format. The camera has since been sold.
I don’t think we have considered IPFS, but I have a versioned backup of this data, so if something happened s to the main site, I can roll it back to a safe point.
what type of images are actually needed for Nikon cameras? I uploaded the missing raw (.NEF) files for the Nikon D700, but someone remarked I should upload the full set. Does this mean the jpeg’s, too?
