When the camera generated it. One thing I consider gold is the JPEG as generated by the camera. It brings a reference in the intent of the picture result. But since you process RAW you are likely be willing to use the processed RAW. Note that currently f-spot consider RAW + JPEG as 2 different pictures, which is just wrong. > Maybe it's about time to hear from all F-Spot users who shoot to RAW > what workflow is ideal for them? Adobe Lightroom. So far it is the only that statisfies for various reason: 1/ RAW + JPEG is handled properly 2/ it generate sidecar XMP files and NEVER rewrite an original file 3/ its keywording is efficient. and see #2 for its persistence 4/ include RAW processing 5/ allow organizing pictures into collections, separately from the folders (called shoot) and tags (called keywords) Off course it is completely proprietary and does not run on Linux, but with #2 I know at least all of the keywording / tagging is safe and will be easy to migrate, unlike migrating from f-spot to digikam, for example (sqlite conversion is the only path I see) I haven't tried Aperture yet because of the insane hardware requirements and the fact that there is no trial version (I use lightroom public beta), but from all the information I have gathered, it also does everything of the above, with a different UI philosophy and other organization model, including creating *projects*, etc. Hub _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
