Thank you Gilles. The problem seemed to arise from the relatively outdated version of libkdcraw (0.1.4-11.1) offered in the repositories of my distro (openSuse 11.0). The images had an awful magenta color cast. I have updated digiKam to 0.9.4-2.1, and "tricked" libkdcraw in the interim (until new versions come up in repository), by substituting the kdcraw executable from version 8.83 to 8.87. Now this is my setup...
fsl@proton:~> rpm -qa | egrep 'digikam|libexiv|dcraw|libkdcraw3'
dcraw-1.404-7.1
digikam-lang-0.9.4-14.3
digikam-0.9.4-2.1
digikamimageplugins-superimpose-0.9.4-2.1
libkdcraw3-0.1.4-11.1
digikamimageplugins-0.9.4-2.1
digikam-doc-0.9.4-3.1
dcraw-base-1.403-2.2
libexiv2-2-0.16-29.1
fsl@proton:~>
I renamed the file
/opt/kde3/lib/libkdcraw3/kdcraw
to /opt/kde3/lib/libkdcraw3/kdcraw.orig, and copied /usr/bin/dcraw (version 8.87) to /opt/kde3/lib/libkdcraw3/kdcraw. Now 16-bit RAW files are converted OK, except for the gamma value, which has to be applied together with white balance. (The color profiles come from Canon's Digital Photo Professional, I suspect they are not gamma corrected).
I know, I could compile and install the last sources, but for now I don't want to break out the openSuSE automatic updates. Anyway, this setup works GREAT. Many thanks to you and everyone at the team for this great piece of software!
