I actually tried it, and it worked with a NFS mounted drive on my network. I 
put the album there and the pictures magically appeared there!

Re: 16 bit raw image

Hi,

I just remember, that I am using ufraw 
(http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/index.html) for raw conversion. It really works 
quite nice and at least generating the preview is very fast, when comparing 
to any other dcraw-wrapper. I don't know anything about how this is done and 
if it is some "special trick", but maybe this could be useful for speeding up 
the raw-viewing process.

Color management under Linux?

Hi folks,

does anybody have any experience in color management on Linux?  Are 
there any plans to add such functionality in digiKam?

I just started to deal with this topic and it looks quite 
interesting to me.  I would very much like to hear how you think 
about that.

Cheers,

    Heiner

Re: Color management under Linux?

It appears that there is no system wide standard CMS in Linux (and no 
need for one AFAIC), but individual apps can (and do)  support different 
CMS systems like LCMS and others which don't immediately come to mind. 
Gimp has a plug in to do profile conversion, cinepaint is also CMS 
aware, Scribus, can't forget that one.. Ehh, ImageMagick does colour 
management. The problem to a new user (and I count myself in this 
regard) is that every app does it differently, unfortunately also to 
varying degrees of complexity.

A good site to start at could be this one:
http://www.behrmann.name

(and Google, of course)

I have not found any integrated solutions that include colorimeters for 
monitor profiling, like the Colorvision Spyder on the Mac and that other 
OS which shall remain nameless...

Regards,
Dennis.

If you just want to calibrate your monitor, I suggest a search for 
'Norman Koren', uhh whoops, I just did:
http://www.normankoren.com/color_management.html
An excellent and Linux friendly Coulour management guide.

rpm.pbone.net has a Mandriva rpm for digikam 0.8

But as far as I know, they do not support different colour spaces 
like sRGB or AdobeRGB, only using ICC profiles for scanners and 
stuff like that.

...but you should delete your old rpms and run make install, there is a bit 
more that needs to be available than just that digikam file. 

But since there are already rpms available for Mandriva, you might better use 
them.
