How open ARW (Sony A7II) in PixInsight

[matejmihelcic]

Hi,

I have issue with ARW file in PixInsight. I do not know how I can open ARW file to see normal image in PixInsight. I got some strange pattern - look like dark image not light image! I used PixInsight before for other color data from ASI color camera without problems. I tried many different settings in File Explorer/DSLR RAW but without success. Same file I open in PS Camera Raw without any problem. If somebody share with me solution will get for beer

Kind regards,
Matej

A Friend of mine has currently the same problem. Do you have solved the Problem, or has anybody an idea?

On opening raw files Pixinsight depends on dcraw. The dcraw site https://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ lists "Sony ILCE-7" but not "Sony ILCE-7II". Maybe Dave Coffin is still waiting for someone to send raw images (quotation: "If your camera is not on the Supported list, try dcraw anyway. If it doesn't work perfectly, don't just sit quietly waiting for my next version. Ask me if I need any raw photos, or go ahead and post a photo to your website and e-mail me the URL.")
