I have RAW files output by a program with a specific set of properties (Photoshop RAW, 16 bits, IBM PC byte order, no header, 1 non-interleaved channel, variable sizes like 257X257 or 129X513); does anyone know of a free tool that will allow me to convert to and from this format, and possibly do basic editing (selection, copy/paste, rotation of selection)?

I've tried Picasa, XNView, and Paint Shop Pro 7 and none of them work properly. The closest i get is Paint Shop Pro which will at least make a serviceable attempt to open these files but i can't set all of the proper settings. XNView just might be able to edit it if i can figure out how to change the open settings for a particular raw file. So my questions at current are:

  • how do i tell XNView to open a raw file a particular way?
  • Failing that, is there any free tool that can open Photoshop-RAW files with the above settings (that's not photoshop)?

If it helps, i'm trying to import/export/edit hieghtmap data for maps for Supreme Commander.
