[Digikam-users] Showfoto and raw NEF files; Gamma and Linearity?

[Ari El]

I've been using showfoto to do all my essential photo processing; I started
to shoot raw in my nikon d80 and I'd like showfoto to do the raw conversion
as well, since the recent versions do support color management.

I've been playing with UFRaw and their posted D80 profile
(http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/Colors/Nkx_D80_5_1691_06_000_434.icm), using
gamma = 0.45 and linearity = 0 I get really good results (in the sense that
it looks extremely similar to the cam's generated jpg)

Now when I open the NEF with showfoto (ubuntu 7.10 / showfoto 0.6), i am
presented with the color management dialog (or plugin); with it, I select
the above mentioned input profile, and as workspace profile I select adobe
rgb (same thing I do in UFRaw). However I can't find the way to set the
gamma and linearity parameters in showfoto. The "target" displayed, and the
result after I click OK, looks very different to the cam's generated jpg,
with way too much color saturation. 

I guess I'm doing something wrong in showfoto here... can someone point me
in the right direction?

ps. One thing I noticed is that, trying to set the default input profile in
Settings > Configure Showfoto > Color management,  after I set the folder
containing my profiles, the "Input" profile options listed include a few
profiles I have in that folder but *none* of that folder's nikon profiles.
For some reason my nikon profiles can not be set as the defaults. I can, as
mentioned above, manually select the nikon input profile at the time I open
each image.
