[06-22-04 22:55]: Nope, cameras are fine. I have used dcraw and didn't like it---was not pleased with the output. I much prefer to use BreezeBrowser to process raw files. Gives lots of options I like to use, including linear conversion, manually setting color temp, noise reduction, exposure compensation, etc.
Then you need to look at the rawphoto plug-in for the Gimp:
Raw photo loader plugin for The GIMP by Pavel T. Jochym jochym at ifj edu pl, http://ptj.rozeta.com.pl/
Based on the gimp plug-in by Dave Coffin http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/
Provides a graphical display with features similar to your citings above.
And it's $$$ Free.... -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
