Public bug reported: Description of the package says:
"This is a standalone tool to import raw data from high-end digital cameras." This is wrong, because cameras like Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D) or Nikon D70 are not hi-end, they are prosumer class digital still cameras. Hi-end as a term overall is unlikely applicable to DSLRs. "ufraw has lots of preprocessing options which seem to duplicate gimp's features. Unfortunately, they are necessary because its 8-bit limitation would cause major quality problems." This is wrong as well. There are only two settings that somehow duplicate GIMP's functionality: saturation handle and curves. And, again, UFRaw handles several types of TRC curves, whil GIMP supports only its own curves. Most of other "settings" like white balance correction, white balance presets, black point, exposure etc. are unmatched in GIMP. ** Affects: ufraw (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Errors in description https://launchpad.net/bugs/49854 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
