Hello,
When I opened a .CR2 file and zoom way in, I expected to see the CFA pattern with pure red, green, and blue pixels of varying intensity. But I do not. There are red squares (pixel representations I suppose) next to other red ones, greens squares next to greens, and, even white squares, etc. This leads to two questions: 1) is there a way to directly view the representations of single pixel values in the CFA without some processing affecting the display for these? 2) are operations like stacking actually done at the CFA-pattern level rather than at a level closer to what zooming displays?
The reason I ask, is I am about to begin looking into an alternative processing train for OSC and DSLR images and would like to see how the procedures change the true pixel intensities, one-by-one, rather than how they change what becomes displayed. If this quick-look appears promising, I would, of course, share. But that is premature right now.
Thanks, Alex Woronow
