Michael, your understanding of what's going on inside the black box is basically correct. When you import a RAW photo into Shotwell, Shotwell renders the image into a JPEG. If you then open it in GIMP from within Shotwell, Shotwell passes the JPEG to GIMP. If you open it in UFRaw from within Shotwell, then Shotwell hands the RAW image to UFRaw, which renders it itself. If you open it in GIMP from the file manager, GIMP uses UFRaw to render the image.
At the moment, Shotwell and UFRaw's renderings of the RAW image may look quite different. Of course, you're right that ideally all GNOME photo programs should develop RAW images in the same way. We'd like to improve the situation, and we have a Trac ticket about this at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2246 . This won't happen for 0.8, but I hope we can look at this for 0.9. ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #2246 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2246 ** Also affects: shotwell via http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2246 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Variation in colour balance Shotwell/UFRaw/GIMP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Shotwell. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
