Raw to TIFF Converter

Some time ago I needed a tool to convert raw camera files into TIFF format, as my old version of Photoshop didn’t support the raw files of my new camera anymore. While there probably are a ton of perfectly fine converters out there, I preferred creating my own over searching the internet for one.

The tool is open-source and available on GitHub. Please be aware that while it has improved significantly in recent updates, it’s still recommended to maintain backups of your files as the code is not fully tested.

Technical Background

Originally, this project used Pillow for conversions, which led to quality loss and issues like unexpected horizontal flipping, probably caused by some mistake I made. Switching to rawpy and imageio fixed my issues and improved output quality, though the code remains a bit experimental. Proceed with caution when using this tool, especially with important files.
