libopenraw is a desktop agnostic effort to support digital camera RAW files. It include libopenraw and exempi as the main components.

  • libopenraw, a library to parse digital camera RAW files. Also separately the Rust bindings.
  • Exempi, a library to parse XMP metadata. Also separately the Rust bindings.
  • Raw Thumbnailer, a thumbnailer for camera RAW files.

libopenraw Rust bindings

   |  libopenraw project

The libopenraw Rust API is now available.

Just add the following to your cargo.toml:

libopenraw = "0.1.1"

Its API is currently limited to thumbnailing. More is to come later.

Note that with the Rust rewrite of libopenraw, this crate will also change drastically.
