Editing Raw Files

JGull8502
I'm having trouble working with raw files in digikam (version 1.2.0). Perhaps I'm just missing something, but I tried a search and didn't come up with anything.

I've imported my images from the camera, and I can find the raw files in the digikam file browser. Then I right click and edit a raw file. I can make changes to the raw file via the Decoding/Post Processing settings, but all other options are greyed out. Thus, I can't save the file as a jpeg, sharpen, make lense corrections, etc. Could someone clue me in?

Thanks!

What does the right side of the editor look like?  Does it have the
"Description" "Information" tabs at the top?  Or is it in an editing
mode, with "OK" and "Cancel" at the bottom right?

Hi Rei,

Thanks for your reply! The right side of the editor offers the following tabs: properties, metadata, colors, geolocation, captions/tags, raw import. The default view is raw import where I can see a histogram and some raw options. At the bottom there are abort and update buttons.

Re: Editing Raw Files

Rei Shinozuka
ok i see what's happening. in your case, you just hit "IMPORT" and then you are editing the picture.  prior to that, you were preparing the RAW file to get into the editor, you weren't actually editing the picture, which is why you couldn't save it.

I never go through the Raw Import screen.  You can set the image editor to automatically load in the raw file.

[Settings] -> [Configure Digikam...] then under [Image Editor] I UNCHECK the box "User Raw Import Tool to handle Raw images." 

The raw options you would have set in "Raw Import Tool" you can set once in:

[Settings] -> [Configure Digikam...] under [RAW Decoding] they are the same options.

Once its in the editor, I usually use [Color] -> [Curves Adjust...] to adjust brightness and contrast, [Color] -> [Autocorrection].  When you select these options, you are in an editing mode and the right side of the screen allows you to [OK] or [Cancel] your changes.  After you [OK] your changes, you can save the file as JPG.

you're in a mode where ou  can

On Raw Import area from right sidebar of image editor, when you have
set the right option to process your raw file, press Import button.
The image will be loaded as well in editor. After that, you can
process other tools and save your image.

Thanks everyone! I was mainly missing the import button after making changes to the raw file. I'm not sure what I thought it did originally, but I never tried clicking it.

Re: Editing Raw Files

Rei Shinozuka
great.  you can set digikam to automatically import the raw file using preset parameters when you open image editor, thereby skipping this step, which is the setting i prefer.
