Inputs (10)
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| raw_file | STRING | Absolute path to a camera RAW file (.raf .cr3 .nef .arw .dng ...). Use the Browse button to pick one. | |
| demosaic | COMBO | Auto (best for sensor) | Demosaic algorithm. Auto uses DHT for Bayer sensors and LibRaw's 3-pass Markesteijn for Fuji X-Trans. |
| output_colorspace | COMBO | Linear sRGB | Output colorspace primaries. Linear sRGB is the standard choice. |
| white_balance | COMBO | As shot | As shot = use the camera's recorded WB (what you saw in the viewfinder). Auto = gray-world estimate. Daylight = fixed ~5500K. |
| highlight_mode | COMBO | Rebuild (default) | How to handle blown highlights. Rebuild reconstructs partial-channel data (Adobe default). Clip discards. Blend is a middle ground. |
| half_size | BOOLEAN | false | Half-resolution decode. Skips one demosaic step per axis. ~10x faster. Great for iteration, disable for final output. |
| output_mode | COMBO | sRGB display | sRGB display = gamma-encoded — matches Camera Raw's default open view (flatter than JPEG, same brightness). Drop-in compatible with all Darkroom grading nodes. Linear scene = pure linear HDR for ACES pipelines. |
| baseline_exposure | FLOAT | 0.0-4–8 | Exposure offset in stops, applied in linear light before any downstream stage. In sRGB display mode: brightens or darkens from the ACR-matched default view (default 0). In Linear scene mode: needed to lift the pure scene-referred linear output into the range expected by downstream LUTs. rawpy's linear decode lands typical midtones near 0.05; most Camera Raw-calibrated LUTs (abpy's Fuji sims, Sowerby's) expect midtones near 0.18. +2 EV is a good starting point for a daylight scene; push higher for darker scenes. |
| camera_look | COMBO | (not used) | The specific look within the chosen brand (e.g. 'Standard', 'Landscape', 'Vivid', 'VELVIA'). Narrows automatically when camera_brand changes. Shows '(not used)' when camera_brand is 'Adobe Standard' — the variant is ignored in that case. |
| camera_brand | COMBO | Adobe Standard | Camera brand for the Camera Look profile. 'Adobe Standard' is the neutral per-body calibration (hue/sat corrections only) and is the default for all bodies. Pick a brand to unlock that brand's Camera Looks in the camera_look dropdown below. Drop .dcp packs into ComfyUI/models/camera_profiles/<Make Model>/ (e.g. '.../camera_profiles/Fujifilm X-T5/Fujifilm X-T5 Camera VELVIA.dcp'). Adobe ships Camera Looks for Canon/Nikon/Sony/Panasonic if Camera Raw or Lightroom is installed on the same machine. For Fuji film sims, install a third-party pack (e.g. Stuart Sowerby). If the selected brand + look isn't installed for the detected body, the node falls back to Adobe Standard and logs a warning. |
