Transcoding nef images in better quality

Hi.

Some time back Serviio introduced .nef raw image support. Serviio uses dcraw to do the transcoding.
I never liked the result. Images looked very pale.

I recently looked into the subject again. I read the dcraw manual. And figured out a potentially nice way improving the image presentation.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about image transcoding in the Serviio universe.
I had to develop my own solution.
All what was needed was to write a wrapper script to apply certain basic dcraw options.

  Code:
cp /usr/bin/dcraw /usr/bin/dcraw.bin

cat >/usr/bin/dcraw <<'EOF'#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/dcraw.bin -w -o 2 $@
EOF

chmod 777 /usr/bin/dcraw*


Restart the server and enjoy. The images now look great on my screen.

Would be nice if Serviio would allow to change these parameters from inside.
@zip -- Since above parameters are very basic and generic, these could even be used as default params for Serviio and dcraw.

Have fun.

Re: Transcoding nef images in better quality

Would -o 2 work with all cameras? Also, is there any difference in performance when using these parameters?
