Description vern 2007-09-24 20:44:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Would it be possible to allow UFRaw to be used as a plugin?  Right now I use UFRaw because it handles RAW images much better than Digikam .9.2 does using Dcraw.  Digikam does not do well with 16 bit mode and even with a lot of tweaking, I cannot seem to get it to open up RAW images with the same quality as UFRaw.  UFRaw also typically uses a much newer version of DCRaw than Digikam.  Anyway, it would be nice to have the flexibility of using UFRaw as a plugin, similar to how GIMP can do this.

Currently I use UFRaw from CVS to open up my images using my camera ICC profile.  I adjust saturation, curves, exposure, white balance, etc with UFRaw and then save the image as a 16bit PNG.  I then have to open that in Digikam to do sharpening (UFRaw doesnt have this yet, and Digikam's Refocus is the best I have seen), and any other adjustments.

Anyway, improving the way in which Digikam handles 16 bit RAW photos whether it be via a plugin or something else, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Vern

My response is well known: let use service menus for that functionality
:)

Comment 3 Dan Ohnesorg 2007-11-17 18:56:49 UTC

For such plugins is not needed any service menu, but hook, which will allow run any application if some onLoadRaw action occures. And the user has to choose, which convertor will use.

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2008-12-06 19:16:24 UTC

With RAW import tool implemented in 0.9.5 and 0.10.0, this entry is invalid.

We don't need UFRAW here. Why increase again the complexity of RAW workflow.
