of course there is no jpg (may be a thumbnail, but this is unimportant), but the raw file have to hold all the camera settings, even if don't applying any. it have at least to display the images on the camera screen :-)
Yes, the dedicated Nikon software (WIndows only) knows the exact choices made on the camera at shooting time. The information is stored in the raw file somehow. After all, each brand uses their own format.
Yes and no. if you run exif you will find that the setting of the camera "at shooting time" are accessible. How else would shotwell, darktable and photoshop be able to read them? Yes the image format, the "dump" of the sensor, is formatted differently for each vendor (though there are proposals about that) but so what? Photoshop, shotwaell and darktable all read that. They have to since they can edit the image and produce jpgs, tiffs and gifs. Yes, the vendor's software can read the information, just like photoshop, shotwell and darktable, and produce different gifs. In many cases the "somehow" if documented extremely well. As a test, you should try running exif on your RAW files and get to see what those supposedly "hidden" settings are and how easily found they are. You might be surprised. You might try -l, --list-tags List all known EXIF tags and IFDs. A JPEG image must be provided, and those tags which appear in the file are shown with an asterisk in the corresponding position in the list. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
