Hi All
About the RAF file format. I am not using the Shotwell in that context. I
am not importing. I just copy from the card both RAF and JPG to my network
location.
I use the Shotwell to convert to TIFF or JPG.
I didn't know that shotwell is not "converting" to JPG but just fetch the
embedded JPG file out of the RAF file or did I misunderstand that?
When I compare the camera JPG and the RAF picture I find more or less the
same quality so I do expect the Shotwell to make the best quality to TIFF
file or what?
Today I took a picture of sunrise, the original JPG file was wrong to much
light on the RAF picture was more correct in respect to what I actually saw
on the sky. So I am a little confused
By the way I have a Fuji HS20EXR.
