API Reference

The rawkit package provides two modules: rawkit and libraw. The rawkit module provides a high-level Pythonic interface for developing raw photos, while the libraw module provides a CTypes based interface for interacting with the low-level LibRaw C APIs. Most of the time, developers will want to use the rawkit module instead of using libraw directly.
