Re: [Gimp-user] Problem importing raw Minolta and Sony files

[Alexander Rabtchevich <alexander v rabtchevich gmx net>]

When you look at an imported image in darktable without applying any 
corrections, the program shows you the embedded preview, which was made 
by the camera itself with all the corrections it (the camera) would made 
with the original RAW when converting it to jpg. If you applyin UFRaw a 
camera curve, similar to the one in darktable, you will see the similar 
result...
