ufraw for raw processing, cinepaint for anything (like detailed colour balance fiddling) ufraw doesn't do if you need 16bit. I mount the SD cards directly (just sticking them in a USB reader should do that) and copy the files off them into a directory. If you're using apt-get and cinepaint is a ubuntu package you should certainly get all of the dependencies. (As a general rule, if it's not a package, you don't use it. If you are not utterly certain what using "force" will do, don't do it. If you break either rule, there will be learning experiences.) I will note that I can't readily see the difference between 16bit and 8bit colour in print output; I suspect I would need a good dedicated photo printer for that. (I have a Xerox 8550 solid ink printer. I really like it, and Xerox claims full Pantone capability, but it's not a photo printer.) If you've got one, I'd be making sure that you can print to it first. If it's just going to jpeg *anyway*, ufraw + gimp works fine. > Both systems are fully up-to-date - an issue since after the forced > CinePaint install all package managers refuse to work proper unless I > take down ditto CinePaint as the failed depency is impossible to meet > so far (libopenexr2ldbl (>=1.2.2)). OK, delete -- using the package manager -- cinepaint. libopenexr2ldbl is a Ubuntu package; what response do you get when you try to install just it? -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
