As you can see, only Image Viewer shows the right image. I have an EOS 5D and raw images work fine with Shotwell for that camera so the 60D may have introduced a new version of the CR2 format. It won't solve your immediate problem but I suggest that you send a description of your problem to the Shotwell mailing list [1] as they will be very keen to hear of any problem and solve it for the upcoming 0.8 if they can. From your image, Shotwell and RawStudio seem to misunderstand the data in similar ways so the actual problem is probably with the underlying raw library (libraw). If this is the case, the Shotwell developers will be able to identify the problem and report it to the libraw devs. [1] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell I am trying very hard not to have to resort to using my Windows PC for image editing as this is one of the few remaining tasks I cannot do in Ubuntu. Unfortunately image editing is very resource intensive and running Photoshop Elements or Lightroom in a VirtualBox VM was painfully slow. Cool! Apart from the raw issues, what part of your workflow can you currently not do with Ubuntu?

Cheers, Bruno Hi Bruno, No problem with doing that and thanks - I was going to do it this afternoon when I was more awake (I’m not really a morning person). I have uploaded an archive with the file I used in sample image I posted earlier. Also in the archive is a JPG of the same file (I used to camera to save in RAW and JPG at the same time so there is a comparison between the two). The file is located at http://marsters.co.uk/shotwell/eos60d-samples.tar.gz As you suggested in your previous post, I believe it is related to the libraw library and since Canon had to release a new version of the Windows RAW codec to support the 60D I really do think it could be a compatibility problem with a slightly changed file format (or the files being nearly twice the size of the 1000D ones I had used in the past). The versions I am using are Ubuntu - 10.10 Shotwell - 0.7.2-1~maverick1 Libraw-dev - 0.9.1-1 Thanks again for everyone help. I will do what I can to help get the support (test builds etc if necessary) but in the meantime I will do my edits for the photography course I am doing on Windows.

I too use Bibble 5 Pro and find it excellent. Interestingly, I note that with the release of version 5.2 RC1, they claim to have improved the support for the Canon 60D. As I don't shoot with such a beast, I can't comment on how good or otherwise it handles the RAW output from the 60D with either the production version or release candidate. Their site, (www.bibblelabs.com) has a wealth of information and examples. It might be worth checking out their free fully functioning demo version. (Essentially a 14 day trial). At £130, I don't think that it is overpriced, when I consider what gets spent on other pieces of kit! Just my 2 cents worth!

The versions I am using are Ubuntu - 10.10 Shotwell - 0.7.2-1~maverick1 Libraw-dev - 0.9.1-1 It looks like support for the 60D was added in libraw 0.11.2, which you can get here: http://www.libraw.org/download#stable You'll have to compile from source but it uses the classic GNU autotools steps so it is straightforward. Download the LibRaw-0.12.0.tar.gz file from the web site and then do the following: tar zxvf LibRaw-0.12.0.tar.gz cd LibRaw-0.12.0 ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig (the last step may not be necessary but it doesn't harm) It will install the updated library in /usr/local so that it doesn't overwrite the system one. If you want to remove it, go back to the directory where you unpacked it and do: sudo make uninstall The next step is to ask the nice MOTU to upgrade libraw for Natty :-) Cheers, Bruno -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Thanks for the ppa (and the heads up about the version upgrade) - I installed this (as well as manually building it afterwards) but still get the same effect, so guess it isn't libraw causing the problems now. I have tried the trial version of Bibble which works fine but would like to try some of the products in the repos first (when I fix this little issue). Hopefully I can look at some other things tomorrow. Shame it wasn't libraw as this did seem to be a promising lead.

[ubuntu-uk] Problems with CR2 files from a Canon 60D

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Problems with CR2 files from a Canon 60D
Thanks for the reply. I actually meant I tried ufraw not ucraw but looking into it further I wonder if it is because the 60D is new and the format has changed slightly so is not supported.
