[David-4]

Unfortunately upgrading to 5.8.0 didn't change anything.

I've attached a screenshot

thanks

The menu problem is know, and solved by Maik in next release 5.8.0.

You can test the pre-release appimage here :

Forgive me, I'm completely new to Digikam.

* I'm using version 5.7.0 appimage on Ubuntu 16.04

* for NEF files, the image editor menus are all greyed out... even simple things like crop

* for jpg files, the menus are no longer greyed out and they work

Are there some libraries missing? or something else I'm missing?

Any help would be appreciated

Your screenshot is not a dysfunction. You are in Raw import tool, and it's not yet completed. You need to tune the demosaicing settings from right sidebar panel and press Import button on the bottom.

If you want a full automatized import in editor, go to setup dialog in editor.Raw section and disable the import tool stage.

Thank you Gilles.... it now makes sense:

Settings -> Configure Digikam -> Image Editor -> Raw  Default Setting -> set as required

then:

Settings -> Configure Digikam -> Image Editor -> Raw Behavior -> Use default [16|8] bit
