[Digikam-users] questions about using RAW format...

[Alexandre Racine]

Hi all,

So I use digikam since a couple of years, and I never got to play with RAW
files until now with my Canon Rebel XTi (or EOS 400D) witch save .CR2 files.

I just wanted to do a simple crop and then save the file just like I do with
JPG's but no no no, can't do that.

1- So, is this a bug or everybody does something else?

2- Is this a technical limitation of digikam or should I put this on the
wish list? (I know it's dcdraw who is reading the RAW files...)

3- Is editing in RAW and saving back in RAW a bad practice? Why?


So many questions, so little time! :)

Currently I just used irfanview (with Wine) to convert them to JPG, but I
have no intention du put Photophop on my Linux/GNU/Ubuntu box.

Thanks for all your feedback :)
