DNG-rs
A pure rust library for reading / writing DNG files providing access to the raw data in a zero-copy friendly way. Also containing code for reading / writing a human-readable YAML representation of DNG tags / the IFD structure. DNG-rs also supports interacting with DCP (Dng Camera Profile) files, but that is on a best-effort basis since I was unable to find official documentation on that.
Tools
This library also contains a pair of cli tools for converting a DNG into a human-readable YAML representation and back. These are kind of similar to dcpTool's -d
and -c
but use YAML rather than XML.
$ target/debug/dump_dng -h
Dump the IFD metadata of a TIFF / DNG image to a human readable yaml representation
Usage: dump_dng [OPTIONS] <FILE>
Arguments:
<FILE> input file to get the metadata from
Options:
-f, --dump-rational-as-float convert Rational and SRational types to float for better readability (this is lossy)
-e, --extract extract strips, tiles and larger blobs into a directory. also write the ifd chain as a yaml file there
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
$ target/debug/compile_dng -h
Assemble a DNG file from some of other dng files, plain raw files and metadata
Usage: compile_dng [OPTIONS] --yaml <YAML>
Options:
--yaml <YAML> input YAML file to get the metadata from
--dcp
-b, --big-endian
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
example:
$ target/debug/dump_dng src/yaml/testdata/axiom_beta_simulated.dcp -f
UniqueCameraModel: "AXIOM Beta"
ProfileName: "AXIOM Beta spectral simulated"
ProfileEmbedPolicy: allow copying

Current Status
This library should be in a usable state for many applications. However, a more high-level API is not implemented (yet?). For that (and support for other raw formats) you might want to use rawloader.
