The 2668-entry table read off the black-box oracle's output is gone.
arw6_curve.rs now builds the 4096-entry table at first use from our own
measurement: piecewise linear through knots u_k = 128 k, c_k = u_k for
k <= 11 and 356.89 + 655.646 ln(k - 6) above, rounded half up, fitted to
the 7 same-exposure lossless (LJ92) / ARW6 pairs of the CC0 ILCE-7RM6 set.
A unit test pins the whole table (sum 27776336, weighted 92792980288),
its anchors, the identity through 1408 and strict monotonicity.
The corpus sums become regression values of the new output; the 12-bit
codes before the curve stay verified against the oracle (Phase 0).
docs/arw6-compression.md describes the curve, how it was measured, its
uncertainty, the structure and x2-scale evidence, why it is not in the
file, and the after-the-fact comparison with the oracle's curve; the
tracker and docs no longer call the output bit-exact against LibRaw.

`cargo xtask corpus --download` now fetches one full-frame Compressed and
one APS-C Compressed HQ file (about 94 MB) instead of all 12 (about
630 MB); the corpus test checks those two and the lossless-sibling
regression test is gone, since nothing would download those files.
docs/arw6-compression.md keeps the full table with source paths and
SHA-256, says which two xtask fetches and how to fetch the rest with
`curl -L`, and records the CC0 1.0 statement of RawDB's set record
(accessed 2026-10-10).

The RawDB entries in xtask carry their SHA-256 as the third field, which
`cargo xtask corpus --download` checks; the corpus test keeps only the
sensor sum checks.

Fujifilm RAFs carry per-shot GeometricDistortionParams (0xf00b) and VignettingParams (0xf010)
in the raw IFD. Derived by measurement against the cameras' own JPEGs and LightCraft's
uncorrected renders: [scale, n knots, n values], scale x n = half diagonal of the recorded image,
last knot = farthest corner, distortion in percent indexed by the source radius with the
frame-filling zoom, vignetting as 100/V gain. They become a WarpRectilinear and a
FixVignetteRadial for 59 validated bodies (same path as the Sony ARW and Panasonic RW2
corrections); unmatched bodies and tables with another scale stay uncorrected.
On 67 body/lens combinations the corrected render's radial shape error against the camera JPEG
falls from a median of 0.72 % to 0.05 % of the half diagonal. The lateral CA table (0xf00f) is
real but is not applied: our demosaic already registers the colour planes and the stored shift
over-corrects. See docs/fuji-lens-corrections.md.

Issue #697 (ILCE-7CM2 lossless compressed M-size ARW "washed out" in 0.4
and 0.5) is the 512-vs-1024 YCbCr pedestal of #535 item 3, fixed on main
by 3100cc1a after v0.5.0. Measured on the reporter's file: 0.5.0 renders
the darkest half of the dusk scene +11 L* and blue against the camera
JPEG, with the lamplight turned white (mean dE 11.8); main is within
+3 L* (dE 8.9). Its darkest 0.1 % per channel sits at 1017/1020/1024,
confirming the 1024 pedestal on a fifth body.
- Corpus: two CC0 raw.pixls.us ILCE-7CM2 files, lossless L and the
compressed "M-size" coding, which is Bayer at 4736x3132 with black 512
(only the lossless M/S codings are YCbCr), so a size-based pedestal
rule would break it.
- Tests: corpus_sony_a7cm2_codings (model, layout, levels, crop, as-shot
gains, header/full agreement) and both files in the #535 data-floor
test.
- docs/parity.md: the ILCE-7CM2 verification on the Sony coverage row.
Keep image framing inside the validated 3:2 scope even when DefaultCrop retains native geometry. Cover all 23 Sony fixtures, preserve crop precedence, invalidate old renders, and record fresh Sony reference measurements.

Main (#575, #580) rewrote default_crop. The image crop now keeps main's
order for every Sony body (Sony's crop tags, then DefaultCrop, then the
recorded-size crop), so framing does not change. Only the ILCE-7RM4A
distortion warp takes its centre and normalization from DefaultCrop when
the file has one, which keeps the geometry validated against Sony's
exports (centre x 4783.5 on the A7R IVA sample). The DNG round-trip test
now checks both: Sony's crop on the image, the warp centred on the
default crop. RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 38.

Main's SR2SubIFD white balance (#575) already reads the A900's applied
levels (2688 / 1024 / 1024 / 1516, the same 2.625 / 1.480 gains), so the
hard-coded maker-note 0x0020 block at offset 188 is dropped. The centred
crop now goes through #580's recorded_size_crop (a `centred` flag, only
for the packed 12-bit layout); every other body keeps main's framing.
Adds the CC0 A900 sample to the corpus with checks for its white balance,
black level, bit depth and crop. RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 38.

High Efficiency NEFs (HE / HE★, Z 8, Z 9, Z 6III, Z f) keep compression
34713 but carry a JPEG XS-based codestream (SOC + CAP, FF10 FF50) and no
maker-note 0x0096 table. They fell through to "Nikon compressed NEF
without a linearization table", so the Preview only notice gave Z f users
no hint why their raw wasn't decoded or that Lossless compressed NEFs work.
Detect the codestream before asking for the table and report "Nikon High
Efficiency NEF" with the workaround. Add a synthetic regression test, CC0
Z f HE + Lossless samples to the corpus (raw.pixls.us) with a corpus test,
and list HE NEF among the format gaps in parity.md and ROADMAP.md.
No decoder: the format has no public specification and the existing
decoders (LibRaw, rawler) are LGPL and derived from Nikon's binaries.

Part of #535 (items 4 and 5).
- Pre-2017 bodies without Sony crop tags shot in the camera's 16:9 mode now get
the 16:9 crop of their camera JPEG: width from FullImageSize, anchored left as
before (drops the ILCE-7SM2's 32 padding columns); height from FullImageSize
(ILCE-7SM2) or from an Exif image size of the same width (DSLR-A580, whose
FullImageSize still says 3:2); centred vertically at an even offset, as
measured by registering each camera JPEG on its raw. The aspect now matches
the JPEG, so the camera-look fit runs: ILCE-7SM2 dE 15.2 -> 4.8,
DSLR-A580 dE 26.7 -> 3.9 (vs main 88ea1a8).
- The DSC-R1's SR2 (maker-note FileFormat 1 0 0 0) stores encrypted samples and
decoded to noise; it is now Unsupported in full and header mode and imports
preview-only with that reason.
- Only these 3 of 140 Sony decodes change; render cache version 26 (23-25 are
taken by #568, #542, #575).
- Tests: crop helper (3:2 unchanged, both 16:9 sources, even offsets, hostile
sizes), synthetic Sony file with FileFormat SR2 vs ARW, corpus test of the
two crops and the SR2 refusal; three samples added to the corpus list.

Part of #535 (item 1). Stacked on #542 (SR2 black levels); supersedes its
positional keystream tables.
- White balance is WB_RGGBLevels (0x7313), the gains the camera applied:
the raw IFD's plain copy when present, else the copy in the encrypted
SR2SubIFD, which every ARW from the DSLR-A200 on carries (identical to
the plain one on all 57 CC0 files that have both). The maker note's
Tag2010 gains stay only as a last resort.
- 14 bodies had no white balance and rendered green whenever the camera
look was rejected (A450 ... A700, NEX-3/5/C3, SLT-A33/A35/A55,
ILCE-6001, UMC-R10C). On others Tag2010 missed the applied gains by up
to 100 % (ILCE-3500 at 5600 K: R -31 / B +101 % against the camera
JPEG's neutral pixels, now +4 / +0 %; ILCE-7S on Shade -9 / +15 ->
-1 / +1 %; SLT-A57 -25 / +26 -> -6 / -3 %).
- New vendor/sr2.rs decrypts the whole SR2SubIFD, found black-box:
exiftool -v5's decrypted dump as known plaintext gives the keystream
(key 11 22 33 44, the same at every position in 126 CC0 ARWs from 97
bodies, 15 layouts); an exhaustive search over lag pairs found
k[n] = k[n-63] ^ k[n-127] on 32-bit words, so the first 127 words
generate the rest, matching all 126 files (5.2 MB of keystream).
- The SR2 black level (0x7310) is now read through the same decryptor,
replacing #542's head and per-position keystream tables: one SR2
decryption path. Identical results on all 131 Sony files (every
value #542 decoded; the 51 it could not are the files' plain 0x7310).
Unit tests pin the keystream against answers recorded without the
generator: every byte #542 and #148 had recovered, the SHA-256 of the
whole 62112-byte keystream recovered from the CC0 DSLR-A700 sample, and
the encrypted WB_RGGBLevels of four CC0 files (one per layout) with the
levels ExifTool decrypts.
- Sweep (4f350c4 -> this): gains equal ExifTool's decrypted
WB_RGGBLevels on all 100 decoded CC0 CFA files; on 83 files with
>= 200 JPEG-neutral pixels, within 10 % of the camera's applied gains
71 -> 83, over 10 % 5 -> 0. Accepted fits unchanged (max 0.15 dE);
forced fallback median dE 18.50 -> 18.06, neutral-area cast on the 22
changed files 8.8 -> 1.2.
- Corpus test for five CC0 samples (A500, A33, A700, ILCE-3500 5600 K,
ILCE-7S Shade; three added to RAW_SAMPLES); the pre-2017 test's gains
move to WB_RGGBLevels (RX100 III, RX100, ILCE-7RM2: within 2.6 % of
the old Tag2010 values in Auto). Synthetic tests for decryption,
directory parsing, source precedence, black level through the full
DNGPrivateData chain, and hostile input; #542's layout tests (incl.
the A700 trap) now run through the decryptor.
- Render cache version 25.

Part of #535 (items 2 and 3).
- SR2SubIFD black level: decrypt the directory's first entry (always the
black level, 0x7310) to find where its value sits, and decrypt it with the
keystream known for that position (1638, 2166, 2418, 2510). The fixed read at
2510 gave 354-365 on the DSLR-A450/A500/A550 and 975 on the DSLR-A700, where
ExifTool and the data floor say 512 (A700 render: dE 20.1 -> 8.8,
dL* -9.8 -> 0.0). Keystreams recovered black-box (plain 0x7310 and exiftool -v3
as known plaintext), consistent over 115 ARWs from 97 bodies, 15 layouts.
- Downsized lossless M/S ARWs (linear YCbCr): black 1024 and white 16895, i.e.
the recorded 512 plus 512, measured against same-scene full-size codings on
12 files from 4 bodies (offset 1015-1052, scale 0.98-1.02). The 512 pedestal
lifted shadows by ~3 % of white; M/S renders now match their full-size twins
(7RM5 M dE 6.7 -> 3.1).
- Only these 16 of 140 Sony files change; render cache version 24.
- Tests: synthetic SR2 blocks for every known layout (incl. the A700 trap),
YCbCr black/white; corpus test of black levels against the data floor;
A500 and A700 samples added to the corpus list.

Three CC0 raw.pixls.us files of one ILCE-7CR (61 MP) scene: lossless
compressed L and M (subsampled YCbCr) and compressed ARW2. A raw corpus
test pins model, colour-filter layout, black level, white level, as-shot
gains and default crop, and checks that the lossless and compressed
mosaics agree inside the crop (green block correlation 0.9976). An engine
corpus test checks each gets a fitted camera look, not the neutral
fallback. All nine public codings decode and fit (mean dE76 1.59 against
their camera JPEGs).

Samsung SRW raws whose raw IFD (private compression 32769 or 32770) stores the samples uncompressed are decoded from the sensor data: 12-bit samples packed two in three bytes (bit order told apart from the samples; NX5, NX10, NX11 and NX20, NX200, NX210, NX1000, NX1100) and 16-bit little-endian words (EX1, WB2000). CFA layout from the raw IFD's CFAPattern; framing, white balance, black and saturation levels from the maker note (value offsets relative to the note; the vectors are stored offset by its EncryptionKey); a one-direction Exif picture size crops to the centre of the framing; black from dark rows or columns when the file states none; saturation plateau below the stated level wins. Compressed codings (32770 with fewer bytes, 32772, 32773) stay preview only with that reason. srw is imported from folders; SRW takes the file-local camera look. RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 17.
Read DNG 1.6 semantic masks (SemanticName, SemanticInstanceID,
MaskSubArea; any coding the tile/strip reader decodes, e.g. ProRAW's
lossy-JPEG matte) with lightcraft_raw::semantic_masks, map them onto the
developed image, and carry Apple's sky / portrait / skin / hair / teeth /
glasses mattes in SourceInfo::mattes (SourceInfo is no longer Copy).
Sky, Subject, Background and People components sample them through
orientation, warp (Warp::frame, as geometry.rs) and crop like the image,
so preview = export, instead of the heuristics; files without mattes
render as before. Malformed mask IFDs are skipped, and only the first
MAX_MASKS mask IFDs are decoded, so a file full of them costs bounded
work. The render cache version is bumped once, in the white-balance commit.
The corpus test reads corpus/raw/dng-apple-iphone12pro-proraw.dng, the
name `cargo xtask corpus` downloads it under.

Parse ProfileGainTableMap (DNG 1.6) and ProfileGainTableMap2 (DNG 1.7):
both versions, DNG 1.7 precedence (version 2 in IFD 0, then the raw IFD;
version 1 in the raw IFD, then IFD 0), u8/u16/f16/f32 gains, gamma.
Malformed tags (wrong size, zero or huge grids, non-finite or negative
gains, bad spacing or gamma) are ignored, never allocated for.
Byte order: the specification gives this tag no byte order of its own,
unlike opcode lists, so the payload is read in the file's byte order with
a big-endian fallback; a wrong-order read can't pass the size checks.
The module docs quote the DNG 1.6 "Byte Order" rule.
The map is kept in ColorData, written back by the DNG writer (version 1,
or version 2 when its gamma isn't 1) and dropped from merge outputs, whose
geometry no longer matches the capture's active area. It is not applied
to the render: Lightroom Classic renders Apple ProRAW without it.
Supersedes the parser of #273.
The CC0 iPhone 12 Pro ProRAW from raw.pixls.us joins the corpus.

Compression 52546 tiles and strips decode through jxl-oxide (new
default-on `jxl` feature of lightcraft-raw): bare codestreams and
ISO-BMFF containers, 1 or 3 planes, 8-16-bit integers scaled back
exactly from the codestream's own bit depth, 16-bit floats. Edge tiles
may be coded at their nominal or in-image size. Headers are checked
against the IFD in header-only probing too. A single-chunk JPEG XL
preview IFD (RGB or grey) is offered as the embedded preview.
The decoder's memory is bounded by the tile: 16 bytes per sample (three
times that for a lossy grey tile, which the decoder expands to three
channels) plus 64 KiB; jxl-oxide 0.12 was measured at <= 10.3 bytes per
sample for lossless and <= 13.5 per colour sample for lossy tiles. A
codestream needing more (e.g. extra channels) is an error.
Lossless tiles are checked bit-exact on synthetic CFA and LinearRaw
files (zune-jpegxl as a test-only encoder); lossy tiles are unverified
on a real file.

Phase One / Leaf IIQ, Canon EOS-1D / 1Ds and Kodak DCS TIFFs keep their raw data in
a private block. IFD0 is only a 160-640 px RGB copy and no IFD is marked as raw, so
they opened as an ordinary TIFF of that size (a 150 MP file rendered 296x220) with
no preview-only label.
probe() now recognises such a file from its structure (OtherTiff): a picture at
least 4x larger than IFD0 in both directions is declared by a SubIFDs child, or by
Exif PixelXDimension/PixelYDimension together with enough bytes outside every IFD's
strips and tiles to hold it at one bit per pixel. decode() reports the sizes as the
reason. A raw we cannot decode now falls back to its embedded JPEG, else to the TIFF
reader's view of its first image, so it imports preview-only with that reason.
RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 12: these files render differently.
Main already had Fujifilm RAF in relative WB, the file-local look, the
docs and the corpus lists; CR3 is added next to it. RENDER_CACHE_VERSION
was already 12 on main (from #255/#258/#282), so CR3 thumbnails rendered
by main from embedded previews would not be redone: 13.

Decode lossless CRX and version 0x100/0x200 C-RAW in portable Rust,
including sensor geometry, timed white balance and black/white levels.
Verify all sensor samples against six independent M50/R100/R8 references.
Any CR3 decode error falls back to the embedded JPEG, as CR3 files did
before this decoder. The full sensor buffer is allocated only after the
first plane decodes, and plane buffers grow row by row. Tile planes
decode in parallel with a windowed bit reader (24 MP: 424 -> 89 ms
lossless, 519 -> 138 ms C-RAW on an M4).
Add guarded CR3 camera-JPEG colour fitting with independent framing
validation, relative white balance and cache invalidation.
Validation: cargo xtask ci.
Maker note tag 0x4001 is UNDEFINED bytes (ColorData versions -3 and -4) on
PowerShot and EOS M bodies. It was read as one number per byte, so no plausible
as-shot levels were found and the white balance was 1, 1, 1 (green cast, a* about
-13 on neutrals). Byte and undefined data is now paired into 16-bit words in the
maker note's byte order before the existing probe (word 71). No per-model table.
RENDER_CACHE_VERSION 11 -> 12.
Split out of #240 without the compressed decoder (crates/raw/src/vendor/orfc.rs
is not part of this change; compressed ORF stays preview-only).
- The layout is read from Exif CFAPattern (0xa302, repeat counts in either
byte order) when it describes a 2x2 Bayer cell. BGGR and GBRG were not
reachable before.
- Without a usable tag the green diagonal is still found from the samples,
now from totals of 32x32 blocks instead of single-pixel differences, so
fine texture no longer outweighs a small red/blue difference. The old
version indexed the samples directly; this one reads them with get().
- probe_info no longer unpacks 12-bit packed ORFs that state their layout
(XZ-2: under 0.1 ms; it ran the same unpack as a decode before, which
takes 11 ms). 16-bit files still read their samples to find the bit depth.
Tests: stated layouts in both byte orders, unusable tags falling back to the
samples, the texture case, hostile areas for the fallback, probe_info equal
to decode; a corpus test comparing the E-1, E-400 and XZ-2 mosaics with
their embedded JPEGs under every layout.
No user-visible change yet for the bodies whose layout the old guess got
wrong (E-M1 and E-620 are BGGR): they write compressed ORF.

Decode every raw encoding Panasonic and Leica bodies write, from the DMC-LX1 (2005) to the DC-S1RM2 (2025):
compressed formats 4 (most bodies, 2008-2022) and 6 (S1 / S1R / S1H / S5, GH5M2), the prefix-coded strips of
format 8 (GH6 and later), packed formats 2, 5 and 7, and the 16-bit words of the 2005-2007 .RAW files. Until now
only format 5 decoded; every other Panasonic file opened as preview only.
Clean-room: no raw-decoder source was read. Tag names come from tag documentation; every encoding was recovered
by black-box analysis of 178 CC0 files from raw.pixls.us (118 bodies), and the module docs note the measurement
that settled each rule. Format-8 tags of unknown meaning must carry the values every sample has, otherwise the file
is reported as unsupported rather than guessed at.
Levels and geometry: formats 4 and 6 store samples 15 above the recorded black level (files without one use 15);
white is the active area's saturation plateau (the linearity limits are wrong on extended low-ISO shots, the GF1
and the Digilux 3); the in-camera aspect ratio is the default crop; mapped-out defect pixels are filled from
same-colour neighbours; the CFA pattern applies at sample (0, 0).
.rwl and .raw files are imported (engine, MCP folder expansion, file dialog, Linux MIME types). One file per
encoding joins the never-panic proptest; 11 CC0 files join `cargo xtask corpus`, and corpus_panasonic_encodings
checks each encoding's bit depth, black level, crop and CFA layout against the camera's own JPEG.

LightCraft has no colour matrix for Nikon cameras. Because of this, NEF
files showed colours that were too gray and too green.
- Colour: LightCraft now calculates a colour matrix and a tone curve from
the JPEG preview in each NEF file. Sony ARW files use the same
procedure and the same quality checks. White balance is relative to
the as-shot look, as for ARW files.
- One function, camera_preview::file_local_look, selects the formats for
the fit and for the relative white balance. Photo::relative_wb in the
catalog uses the same formats.
- Black level: Nikon stores the black level (maker note 0x003d) in
14-bit units, also in 12-bit files. The decoder read it as a 12-bit
value. Because of this, 12-bit files from the D750, D780, D850, D7500
and Z 50 were too dark. Now the decoder divides the value by 4 for
12-bit files.
- The corpus gets the D7500 12-bit and 14-bit lossless samples. A test
compares their levels. The render cache version increases to 9.
Results on 13 NEF files that LightCraft can decode: LightCraft accepted
the fit for all 13 files. The mean colour difference from the camera
JPEG (CIE76 dE) decreased from 13-46 to 2.9-7.8. One file with mixed
light improved by a small quantity only (12.7 to 12.0).

Sony bodies from before ~2017 (RX100–RX100M5, RX10, NEX, SLT, ILCE-6000,
A7/A7II/A7RII, ...) write no plain 0x7313/0x7310/0x74c7 tags in the raw IFD,
so the decoder used unit WB multipliers (strong green cast, e.g. the CC0
DSC-RX100M3 sample), black 512 (800 on 1-inch sensors), and kept padding
columns at the right edge.
- White balance: WB_RGBLevels from the maker note's enciphered Tag2010
block (layouts per ExifTool's Tag2010a..i tables; byte substitution
p^3 mod 249 checked black-box on 15 CC0 files: SonyISO matches Exif ISO,
ILCE-7M3 levels match its plain 0x7313).
- Black level: recovered from the encrypted SR2SubIFD by known-plaintext
analysis (constant key in every file; RX100M6/ILCE-7M3 plain 0x7310 as
plaintext; 8 keystream bytes at offset 2510, plausibility-checked).
- Crop: DNG DefaultCrop or the maker note's FullImageSize.
- "12-bit uncompressed" ARWs hold 14-bit-scale data: black/white follow it.
- Render cache version bumped; corpus manifest + corpus test, unit tests.

Lightroom-converted DNGs carry their camera profile's ProfileHueSatMapData1/2
and ProfileLookTableData (and sometimes ProfileToneCurve). We used only the
colour matrices, so such DNGs rendered flat and muted.
- raw: new `profile` module reads the tags (DNG spec ch. 6: value-major,
hue-middle, saturation-minor tables, wrap-around hue, tri-linear lookups,
sRGB value encoding) from the raw IFD or IFD 0; malformed tags are ignored.
- engine: the raw loader applies the hue/sat map (interpolated by the same
illuminant weight as the matrices) before BaselineExposure and the look
table after it, in linear ProPhoto; a ProfileToneCurve becomes the source's
camera tone. Without one the standard base tone is kept.
- dngwrite keeps the look with the data (conversions, smart previews, merges).
- Render cache version 7.

The Bayer layout of Canon CR2 files differs by model (GBRG on the 7D, 50D,
60D, 550D, 600D, 1200D, 1300D, 5D Mark II, 1D Mark IV; RGGB on the 40D,
5D Mark III, 6D, 5DS R and others). Read it from raw IFD tag 0xc5e0
(CR2CFAPattern: 1 RGGB, 2 BGGR, 3 GBRG, 4 GRBG), anchored at the full
decoded sensor; fall back to RGGB when the tag is missing. No model table.
Checked on 35 decoded CC0 raw.pixls.us CR2s (35 models): the tag agrees
with the mosaic's green-diagonal statistic on every file; the SensorInfo
border parity does not predict the layout. Corpus manifest gains the
reporter's samples; a corpus test asserts each layout.

Decode Nikon Huffman-compressed NEF (compression 34713): lossless and lossy
(type 1 and 2) at 12 and 14 bits, with the maker-note 0x96 linearization
curve, predictor seeds and either byte order. Clean-room: 0x96 layout and
encoding-table sizes from prose write-ups (Clevy, Claff); the fixed Huffman
tables were recovered by black-box analysis of CC0 raw.pixls.us samples
(compressed vs uncompressed shots of the same scene) and verified on ~45
files from ~35 bodies. Lossy-after-split files stay preview only.
