Raw Samples Wanted

Thank you for contributing the sample set! I’ve now verified it.

It’s my fault, the signal-to-noise ratio with new uploads, by now,
has become abysmally low, so the sample review process
is grinding to a halt. I need to look into redesigning
the admin view of RPU, to improve the situation…

Are these still required?

Canon (CHDK): both the old-style CRW, and new DNG

I can see there’s still a call for them on the site, but just wanted to check in case they’ve since been submitted but the site hasn’t been updated — I did do a quick search, and it didn’t yeild any results.

If so, I should be able to provide both CRW and DNG CHDK RAWs sometime over the weekend.

I take it, from the lack of any response, they are not.

Just upload Panasonic DC-S5M2X different format as requested

Blockquote * Panasonic: all the crops (1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9).

I need to upload raw files to https://raw.pixls.us for an older Nikon camera (Coolpix P7700). But sadly this site has been inaccessible for a long time now.
Is there any other way to upload these raw files?

Not currently. We are working to get it back up, but we are volunteers and only have so much free time.

’ list of known cameras with no samples’ is a broken link.

Yes, we are aware and working on it.

FWIW, thanks to @andabata, the user-facing side of RPU is now up!

Unfortunately, it still does not accept upload. It replies with “Upload disabled. Busy rebuilding.”

Correct, the upload side is not up yet.

https://raw.pixls.us is accepting new uploads again.

On https://raw.pixls.us I read

  • Well-lit, pattern-full, scenery, low ISO. For example, a daylight landscape

and

Nikon & Sony : all the combinations of compression and bitness settings, plus all the raw sizes, that is:

I am a Nikon shooter, and I am willing to contribute, however, I am primarily a wildlife / bird shooter. Would such images be helpful, provided that are well-lit and low ISO?

@martinus For what Nikon camera(s)?

Nikon Z8

If you search the list on the RPU page below, you’ll see the Z 8 samples are already there, but for the FX crop only. Are you having trouble with any other crops or aspect ratios?

We’d like a static scene captured w/ different settings so they can be compared pixel by pixel ideally. I would assume you can’t capture an (almost) identical scene 12 times (3 compression settings, 4 potential crops/aspect ratios) when shooting animals while changing camera settings in between?

No that is almost impossible. The next time I am in the fields and the weather is good, I wil see if I can capture static landscape images.

I think that important criterion should be added to the RPU page.
