Here is dcraw 9.17 for SNS-HDR.

Thank you Sebastian...

...the following confirms satisfactory image raw conversion and tone-maps using SNS-HDR Pro v1.4.22.1 on my system with the above linked "dcraw.exe"...

Test Run 5: Ran SNS-HDR Pro v1.4.22.1 with "dcraw.exe" v9.17.1.1 and options: Default preset; no noise reduction; no size reduction; no alignment; no deghosting; sRGB colors; and saved as 16-bit tifs with the results:

OK!!!
Working fine!!!
Thanks!!!

Sebastian...

Would it be possible to furnish a "dcraw v9.19" compatible for SNS-HDR 1.4.22?

This most recent dcraw implements a "3-Pass X-Trans interpolation" default for Fuji's X-Trans sensors. The interpolation is significantly better than the default interpolation for the X-Trans RAF files in dcraw v9.17 although it does come with a significant increase in raw file conversion wait time with high CPU usage...

Thank you for the consideration...

I updated the dcraw file. Here is dcraw 9.19.

Thank you Sebastian... ...it works.

One thing I have noticed with the "3-pass X-Trans interpolation" of dcraw9.19 is that if dcraw's chromatic aberration, wavelet de-noising, and 3x3 median blur are used... ...these edits will worsen the resulting conversion image tiff... ...I am not able to explore what happens if a "Badpixel" file is used...

My conclusion is that chromatic aberration correction, wavelet noise reduction, and 3x3 median blur should be left to be performed in an editor rather than employed during the dcraw raw conversion when "3-pass X-Trans interpolation" is used...
