Re: Re: Open Canon RAW files with GIMP



I do have gimp-ufraw installed and I can open RAW files in GIMP - but of course GIMP cannot store into a RAW file. That's why I think it makes no sense to use a copy of the RAW file for creating a new version of an image with the "Edit in GIMP" option. GIMP will always leave the RAW file untouched, even if it is a "new version".


When I have finished editing the image and chose "save" in GIMP's file menu, GIMP tells me that it cannot save .cr2 files. When I chose "save as..." instead, I can convert and save the image to a jpeg File (or any other format) - but this file won't be recognized by F-Spot as the new version I wanted to create. It won't even exist in the database.

So this will end up in a useless copy of a huge RAW file and a lost jpeg file.


Of course I can open the RAW file without creating a new version, save the edited file as jpeg in some other directory, manually import the jpeg file into F-Spot and run the "merge raw" extension. But that's not really comfortable ...

If you have gimp-ufraw installed, it can open RAW files.

When I right-click on a Canon RAW file (*.cr2) in F-Spot (6.0 in Ubuntu Karmic) and choose "Open with GIMP", I will beasked, if F-Spot should create a new version of that image. When I say yes, a new file called "image (Edited in GIMP).cr2" will be created. That makes no sense, because GIMP cannot store any RAW files. I guess it would be better to create a new .jpg file that way.
