Thanks, Adam. Now that I understand what's going on, I can ensure I make the RAW adjustments on the way to GIMP.
Having said that, I don't think it's Shotwell's place to be performing a file conversion when arranging for an image file to be edited by an external program. There's no mention of this in the Edit=>Preferences dialogue when an external program is selected, nor is there a mention of it in the manual, so it was a reasonable assumption on my part that the external program would be supplied with the original file to work on. After all, GIMP knows what to do with a RAW image if it's opened from the File Manager, so why shouldn't it do the same when passed a RAW image by Shotwell? You may think I'm just being awkward here, but if I hadn't realised there was something odd going on here, I might have been discarding underexposed images (for example) because I couldn't improve them sufficiently in GIMP. -- Variation in colour balance Shotwell/UFRaw/GIMP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
