Just revisiting this bug... Actually, shooting RAW is mostly for keeping the best possible record of the recorded image, leaving the most flexibility for interpretation into a viewable/printable image. (Printers can/could have a larger colourspace than a screen for example). So a photo archiving tool should keep track of viewable images and if available, their RAW originals (digital negatives). In digikam, this could be done by keeping a separate database of RAW files and store the RAW filename and a hash of the data (to check integrity and possible filename confusions due to rollover of numbers) in the exif fields of the viewable images (if this is possible in the viewable format). The latter is probably limited to viewable images created via digikam's interface. The interpretation of the RAW files could be internal or a call to an external program (like dcraw or any other) Cheers Simon BTW, there's a movement going on for an open RAW format at http://www.openraw.org/ SVN commit 842507 by cgilles: digiKam from KDE3 branch : new tool to import RAW file in editor There are 2 way to handle RAW file in editor : 1/ using auto-gamma. User let's digiKam import RAW image using default RAW decoding setting from config panel. An Autogamma is applied to image. This option is used by default when you open image in editor. Toi change it, go to Image editor config panel and set on "Use Raw Import tool" option. 2/ using Raw Import tool. In this way a dialog with all RAW decoding settings and a preview of decoded image is displayed. Histogram is available, and panning/zomming over the preview is possible. Note: this Raw import tool is also available with Showfoto of course... A preview of tool in action can be see on digiKam-labs flickr photo pool: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/2735517982_598f1e30c3_o.png TODO : * included all Color management settings relevant of RAW decoding. display this settings if digiKam Color Management is on. * added a gamma adjustement with RAW decoding. * removed Tools/RAW Converter (single) option provided by RAW converter kipi-plugin which become obsolete here (Batch RAW converter will still available). Remplace this option by a link to Raw Import tool directly.

Mass RAW Import is still available (although there's no histogram) but I couldn't find an option to let the Import Module pop up when opening for editing. No (:=))) It still available. Go to editor settings page, and set on the right option... Gilles Caulier Oh, thank you. I seem to be very blind ;-) I have looked in the settings for RAW Import... |
