I agree. ufraw works great at what it does, but its a pain to use for hundreds of images. I usually run ufraw-batch from the command line and then just correct the images that are going to be printed. If someone could put the image controls from ufraw into raw studio, it would be a winner by knockout. It seems to me that rawstudio has been modeled on lightshow. And there is nothing wrong with that. But I think that lightshow has been dumbed down a bit from what it could be, either to make it easier to use for less experienced people or because Adobe didn't want it cutting into the sales of its other products. Maybe rawstudio needs the choice of 2 panels on the right hand side, a traditional panel that does what its doing now and an advanced panel that is more like ufraw. I've processed a lot of really bad images with ufraw. Its almost shocking how wrong the image can be and how good one can get it to look using ufraw. The other tool I really like is the levels tool in GIMP. I don't mean to knock either ufraw or rawstudio. Both are good efforts. But I think that both could learn something from the other. Aside: between finding rawstudio and the release of GIMP 2.6, its been quite a week for open source imaging tools. Thanks for listening. _______________________________________________ Rawstudio-users mailing list [email protected] http://rawstudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rawstudio-users
