You see, what I need to learn first is what can be done with raw (.NEF) photos, concepts, and what software is appropriate in Linux. For the first and second items, I need the FM of RTFM ;-) , so if you know of good reads, please share ;-)
The raw format (digital negativ) can be taken as equal to analog negative. In opposite to JPEG the NEF is a lossless format.
Yes, that's what I'm learning.
By using the digital negativ you can e.g.: - change the white balance - change the colour space - the colour depth is 12 to 16 bit, while JPEG is always limited to 8 bit
Aha.
Some Software under Linux: UFRaw - Convert camera RAW images to standard image files. lightzone - raw converter rawtherapee - an advanced cross-platform program for developing raw photos. darktable - a digital photography workflow application. gimp (with ufraw plug-in) - an image manipulation and paint program.
Hope that helps for first start.
Thanks. What about reads, anyone? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
