[Digikam-users] What are the default settings applied to imported raw images ?

[Christophe Bourez]

Hi Gilles,

When I open the raw image with the image editor (Settings > Configure 
digiKam ... > RAW Decoding > Behaviour set on "Always open the Raw 
Import Tool to customise settings") and if I press "Use Default" (as 
mentioned at the end of this page: 
http://userbase.kde.org/Digikam/Process_RAW_Files), I do not get the 
same result as the "preview" done by the main window of the application. 
By using the default settings during the edition, the result provided by 
the image editor is noisier and the brightness is not as good as in the 
"preview". This lets me think that the set of post processing operations 
performed during the "preview" is different from the set of operations 
performed by the raw image editor using the default settings. FYI, I 
never changed the default settings in the Raw decoding config panel 
(Demosaicing Quality = Bilinear, White Balance/Method = Camera and Auto 
Brightness is checked, Corrections/Noise reduction = None).
