Hi all,
It's quite possible I am doing something stupid but I want to use Digikam to organise my Nikon D70 images and I have a couple of questions. 1) My camera is set to create two files (*.nef and *.jpg) for each shot I take, these files have the same name (just a different extension) and ideally I'd like to keep them together in an album. Also so it would be nice if they could be renamed together etc. I'd be happy if only the jpeg from a JPEG and NEF pair appeared in the album browser (as there would be two thumbnails which would look the same otherwise), so long and the raw files are archived and grouped together with the corresponding JPEG. 2) I have tried just adding the NEF images into an album but this doesn't quite work. I've installed the kipi plugins and looked at the File (MIME) Types configuration to try and see why they don't show up in the Add Image browser. I just don't understand what the purpose of the "Raw Files" section is. Mine is set to: *.crw *.cr2 *.nef *.raf *.mrw *.orf *.pef *.x3f *.dcr *.kdc *.srf *.raw *.dng But the files are only visible in "Add Images" if I add *.nef to the "Image Files" section. Also, the date the photo was taken is incorrectly displayed and the orientation is wrong. I presume it isn't possible to determine this information from a RAW file. Are the RAW files getting converted into something else in order to be kept in the album? (I'd like to avoid this if possible) Is there a better way of achieving what I'm trying to do? Any help setting me straight on these matters would be appreciated.

There is no RAW files support with image editor in this release. There is no plan to associate a RAW file with a jpeg file in the future, and this is a non sense because jpeg file isn't RAW file view and dcraw program can extract embeded RAW file thumnails. RAW file edition will be supported partially to next 0.8.1 release (8 bits / color / pixel). There is no auto color correction associate (using ICC profile) digikam 0.9.0 will support fully RAW file in 16 bits / color / pixel and using ICC profile. This is work in svn (alpha), but any improvements need to be done, especially about memory managment and speed.

I use a D70 and hav a RAW workflow myself, embedded within DigiKam. Here's what I do:
Maybe this could be of help to you? Regards, Dennis _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Hi,
I'd very much like to have a look at the script you use for converting the NEF files. That might just solve my problem.

Hi, I'd very much like to have a look at the script you use for converting the NEF files. That might just solve my problem. Thanks in advance, -Nige Saving the lines below (starting with #!/bin/bash) as filename.sh will allow you to make a link to it on your desktop, or wherever. The program can be started by the command line 'bash /path/to/filename.sh /path/to/directory'. Although I use it on my own digital photographs, this software is stil under development and should be used at your own risk! Always make backups first.
