Note this is currently not working under wine so all photo processing needs to be done on the windows box.

= Processing the Raw RCD105 Images to Tif =


 1. Load the Leica photo processing software
    * Under Windows, select start->programs->leica->calibration->Calibration Post Processing
    * If using wine, run "leica_photo_processing" - currently only works as mggr.
 1. Select the appropriate camera config (Parameters)
    * As of late 2009, this is CH39_021_060
    * There may be updates to this as the camera is recalibrated
     * At the start of 2010 the camera has been modified to use more of the CCD (in calibration - final images may still be the same size). We have a different calibration file for all data collected from start of 2010. (These are currently set up in the processing software. If data prior to 2010 needs to be re-processed then the calibration files will need to be changed and an older version of processing software installed.)
 1. Select the input files
    * Typically this will be something like ~airborne/workspace/IPY09_11-2009_219_Helheim/leica/rcd/images
 1. Ensure both Auto Contrast and Adaptive Left-Right Balance are selected. 
 1. Select the output directory
    * Typically this will be something like ~airborne/workspace/IPY09_11-2009_219_Helheim/leica/rcd/proc_images
 1. Select 16 bit TIFF output ('''this is important! ''')
 1. Hit the start button and go for coffee (allow about 20-30secs per file)

A typical processing setup looks like:
