Description Gehold Bertin 2007-01-25 20:17:32 UTC 
Version:           0.9.0 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (dapper) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1~dapper2)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-26-386

Setting -> configure digiKam -> IO files -> Image Editor IO Images Files Setting -> RAW Decoding Settings (dcraw 8.41):

If you enable "16 bits color depth", so raw images will be extremly darkened...

But if you don't enables that, all fine.

I use Nikon D70s Raws (12 bits).

Perhaps it is possible to fix that.

Thanks a lot.

Gehold,

16 bits color depth require Color Management Workflow with the right camera ICC color profile. Take a look at this url :
