Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: shotwell
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS
Shotwell 0.7.2
Working with NEF images from my Nikon D70 camera.
When I view an image in Shotwell and then opt to open it in UFRAW, I
expect to see the unmodified image in UFRAW, but this is not the case,
it appears "warmer" than the Shotwell view, and this warmer image is
sent on to GIMP when I opt to do so.
However, if I opt to open the same Shotwell image in GIMP, it looks the
same as it does in Shotwell.
Viewed in the file manager, the image appears "warm", as it does if I
opt to open it in UFRAW. If I opt to open this image in GIMP from the
file manager, it is opened first in UFRAW, and appears "warm", and is
transferred as such to GIMP.
Looking at the system as a whole as a black box (lacking knowledge of
what's going on inside) my conclusion is:
Shotwell takes a "cool" view of a NEF image, which it presents on
screen, and will pass on to GIMP if requested to do so.
When Shotwell passes an image to UFRaw, UFRaw takes its own view of the
image, and presents it "warmed up" in comparison to Shotwell's view, and
passes this on to GIMP.
Direct use of UFRaw from the file manager, or invoking UFRaw via a
request to open the file in GIMP results in the "warmer" image being
opened.
It seems to me that it's Shotwell that's out of step with the rest of
the world, but I don't understand how these programs interact with one
another.
