           Summary: integrate rawtherapee into digikam
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jtoegel42 at gmail.com


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

On January 4th, 2010 version 3.0 alpha 1 of the well-known RAW editing and
conversion program RawTherapee (http://www.rawtherapee.com) got released - with
one very important change: RawTherapee is now Open Source (GPLv3)!

This (and the fact that RawTherapee is modular, e.g. the interface and the
engine are seperate) mean that finally there is the opportunity to integrate
one of the finest RAW processors available for Linux right into digikam - it
would be great if this happened, because, in my opinon, handling RAW files is
one of the few weak points of digikam at the moment.

RawTherapee has got many advantages over dcraw, for example faster RAW
conversion, way better color reproduction (at least for me) etc.

I don't know much about the technical details (for example what should be
implemented in dcraw instead of digikam), but I think a better RAW workflow
would be very useful for a great number of users.
