Re: Bit maps from raw camera files

Remember that some raw files contain multiple resoltions (i.e. a thumbnail and the main image), so you may not always want the first one.

Will look into CGImageRef using ImageIO. However, I found that if I use: imageRepsWithContentsOfFile: rather than imageRepWithContentsOfFile: I can get a bit map from all raw files that are supported by OS X. (At least for the raw files I have checked so far). The method imageRepsWithContentsOfFile returns an array of file reps, so the following works:

NSBitmapImageRep * imageBitMap = nil;
NSArray * repsArray;
repsArray = [NSBitmapImageRep imageRepsWithContentsOfFile:theFile];

if([repsArray lastObject] != nil) {
	imageBitMap = [repsArray objectAtIndex:0];
}

Try getting a CGImageRef using ImageIO.

I notice there are now about 120 Digital camera raw formats supported
by Mac OS X as of system 10.5.4.
I am trying to get a bit map from these camera files so I am using:

NSBitmapImageRep * imageBitMap = [NSBitmapImageRep
imageRepWithContentsOfFile:theFile]

For some raw files (Nikon NEF and Canon CR2) I get a bit map. But for
other files (Sony DSLR-A100 ARW file) I get a nil bit map.
On the other hand, I notice that the system does support the Sony raw
file in some way, since for example:

[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:theFile] does produce an image.

So the question is how to go about reliably getting a bit map reliably
form these camera raw files?
