Please note that eog doesn't support RAW images out of the box. To have it use the actual RAW data it needs the gdk-pixbuf loader from libopenraw installed (which according to packages.ubuntu.com doesn't seem to be shipped with Ubuntu).
If the loader is not installed, often the TIFF loader will kick in as many RAW formats are actually specially organized TIFF files, which is also the reason why eog is listed as a supported application for these files. The TIFF loader then tries to load the first image from the file which is often an already developed variant of the RAW image (which then will be shown in eog). Unfortunately the pixbuf loader from libopenraw is not always a painless experience with eog at the moment. We have seen it produce wrong colors at least for Canon CR2 files (the one attached here too) with recent library versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967471 Title: eog 3.2.1 doesn't display raw files Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: EOG 3.2.1 (eye of gnome) doesn't display canon raw files. Neither does nautilus. fspot and shotwell display them. The image opens, but it just displays a checkerboard pattern. EOG displaying RAW worked in Ubuntu 11.04, but does not now work since I updated to 11.10.
