🌸 NAME 🌸

dcparse — bestie, this pulls the embedded thumbnail image OUT of your RAW files and prints the CIFF/TIFF data straight to your screen 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dcparse file1.crw file2.crw ...

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so, this little utility reads data directly from RAW digital photo files. No middleman, no drama, it just goes straight to the source 💅

dcparse prints the internal CIFF/TIFF data, and — plot twist — it also creates a file called <filename>.thumb, which is generally a JPEG file. Iconic behavior, honestly.

And just so we're clear: the CIFF/TIFF data is technical in nature. Like, it's giving hexdump energy, not Instagram caption energy. iykyk 🔥
