Raw Develop

(

for RAW files created with CHDK, not the Canon native RAW of some cameras

)

Main Menu > RAW Parameters > RAW Develop

Another feature from CHDK developer

ewavr

. This allows you to select any RAW file on your SD card

and then process it into a JPG file so that you may view it in your camera. Exceptionally handy after
using any of the RAW Merge features so you can see the result without the need of a computer and extra
RAW processing software.

Choose "RAW Develop" and a file-browser is displayed. Navigate to the RAW file that you want to
process into a JPG file. After pressing

FUNC.SET

to select your file, you will be asked to "Switch

Camera to Record Mode and take one shot." Press

FUNC.SET

again to back out of this menu, then use

the

<ALT>

toggle button to exit

<ALT>

mode. Press the shutter button. Instead of taking an image, it will

take that selected RAW file and now make a JPG file from it. It will be named according to whatever last
JPG filename is in that folder and increment it by 1. Keep in mind that the EXIF data on this new JPG file
will not reflect the original RAW file. It will use whatever camera settings were available at the time that
you take the RAW Developing Shot for the resulting EXIF data.

Note: RAW file-saving must be turned ON for this feature to work. If RAW is not turned on, or you select
a JPG file for "developing", then no action will take place.
