</div></div>usually, I have no problem with white balance. The biggest problem is<br>
brithness and contrast. May be, saturation. The part of image is slighly<br>
overexposured, but preview shows details there, halftones, and image is in<br>
balanse. When I open to edit whit defaults, these details disappears. These<br>
parts begin to be too ligthy. When I begin to play around brightness,<br>
contrast, I am losing halftones. So, I just want to begin to work with image<br>
from same stage which is in preview.<br>
<br>
I am using 400D. How can I import camera profiles to editor? And why preview<br>
has it but not editor?</blockquote><div><br>Preview == JPEG image embeded in RAW file. this is _not_ rendered from RAW image data.<br><br>This is why color sound fine for you : camera device firmware has processed white balance + other stuff automatically.<br>
<br>RAW is different. nothing is done. you must trying to do what the camera has done for you with JPEG, plus some variations of course...</div></div><br>digiKam 0.9.4 (not 0.9.3) try to do white balance + auto gamma with RAW files. in 0.9.5 (KDE3) and 0.10.0 (KDE4) a new RAW Import tool is done to be able to tune finelly all settings.
