</div>First, the raw converter prepares the image for the image editor, you are not<br>
yet in the image editor when doing raw conversion...<br>
<br>
In the digikam raw converter, the first tab has a button 'update' which<br>
applies the changes you made. No direct update, as the conversion can take<br>
quite some time, especially when you select the option to rebuild the<br>
highlights. (I think this is because a number of changes has to be applied<br>
before the matrix interpolation and to the full image data)<br>
The post-processing tab only has actions that are relatively fast so direct<br>
preview is possible (also because the modifications can be done on the preview<br>
image)<br>
<br>
To get the image in the image editor, use the 'import', this will generate the<br>
full image and open it in the image editor, where you can finish adjusting it<br>
and save it (at the very least I apply some sharpening before saving, and<br>
perspective or lens corrections, cropping if needed, etc.)<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>

<br></div></div></blockquote><div>This has helped a lot to understand how it works.<br><br>However, as a complete newbie to raw, I feel very handicapped at not seeing immediately the results of every modification. For white balance for example, sliding cursors back and forth has no meaning for me if I can't preview the resulting effect on the image.<br>
Lack of documentation is also an issue.<br>I'm really willing to switch from jpeg to raw, but I'm still struggling to get some result.<br><br>Thanks to those who have directed me to the "Meet the Gimp" videos, I think I'll give a try to the Gimp ufraw plugin, that seems much more easy to use (wysiwyg at least).<br>
<br>But I find another way, or more accessible documentation, I'll be happy to go back to Digikam to do the raw treatment.<br><br>Marie-Noëlle<br><br><br> </div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ? <a href="http://www.webmaster-en-herbe.net/" target="_blank">Webmaster en herbe</a><br>
