Directly editing raw data in a DNG file prior to development

Photography Asked by Anton Strogonoff on May 12, 2021

I want to blend two DNG shots additively (emulating multiple exposure) and use RawTherapee to develop the result with its full spectrum of raw processing functionality.

What options for such DNG manipulation are available, if any?

One Answer

As far as I know, there is no publicly available program for blending sensor data of two shots before demosaicing and rastering it as a viewable picture.

While I could image this to be valuable in scientific fields, I cannot imagine any advantage apart from having to blend the data blindly vs seeing what I am doing after the base conversion.

So basically, there are no options for this unless you write your own raw data blender, which probably would take a lot of time and will not improve the image in any real way.

I can understand, that you want to skip the roundrtrip in a photo editing software and want to achieve something in your raw developer, that the program simply is not made for.
