sidNone of course. Which OS is used makes no difference for interpolation of raw sensor data to an image.

As I understand it, most all the open source software is based on dcraw - so they're going to have similar capabilities with different interfaces and some extensions.
and with similar limitations.
what limitations are these?
And if "take a quick look at things" doesn't mean literally just viewing, but involves something else. It could be for generation of an histogram or any other kind of data analysis, which in fact requires the image file rather than a visual display of the image.sidray carternospam
In the past, I've found dcraw useful to get a quick look at things by extracting the jpeg thumbnail (dcraw -e).
once again, more work than needed. on a mac, there's no need to run anything (especially using a command line). a simple tap of the space bar gives a quick look of nearly any file (photos, pdfs, spreadsheets, zip files and much more), which is why it's called quick look.
So how does quick look know which file you would like to see?
