If you're interested in camera raw processing, these links could be useful:

  • dcraw by Dave Coffin is the father of all the open source camera raw projects; it's mostly open and made in C language.
  • JRaw is a direct port of dcraw to Java.
  • Imagero is a codec which uses a completely different API than Image I/O; it supports many formats, including camera raw formats (but at the moment of writing can't read the raster).
  • LibRaw is a re-engineering for dcraw, providing a clean C API.
  • LibOpenRaw is a C++ decoder
  • Mistral is an open source project for simplifying the use of Java imaging APIs such as Java2D and JAI; it also provides JavaBean-based metadata access and other features.
  • eLynx Lab is a C++ library for image elaboration, including camera raw processing capabilities.
  • the RAWPository is a repository of camera raw files (no more maintained).
  • www.rawsamples.ch is another repository of camera raw files.
  • raw.fotosite.pl is another repository of camera raw files.
  • OpenRAW is an initiative that strives for making the manufacturers provide documentation about their camera raw formats.
