Default Any Minolta/Sony users using UFRaw and GIMP?

It seems that only Floyd has kept the original poster's question in
mind. The poster didn't ask what OS or what software would be an
improvement on what he has. He asked what can be done to work with
what he has.

Floyd - presumably - did a good job in answering this. I say
"presumably" because I use neither Linux nor Gimp and don't know how
practical Floyd's response was.

It's too bad that questions like the original poster's get diverted
into battles over OS and software with the same old points being
rehashed over-and-over. Nothing new was brought up.


I replied to the OP and I pointed out that the UFRaw settings that were
displayed looked a bit off to me, and one in particular (WB) was
suspicious. I told the OP to make some adjustments to get (closer) to a
baseline position. Since I no longer have the Gimp (or Linux)
installed, I didn't take it further to test the settings that he had.


He did not reply to that - so I wonder:


1) Were we trolled? (Again).


2) Who's the troll? (And I have my suspicions).


No trolling here. Using helpful pointers from others, I have been working
with adjustments to UFRaw and have gotten closer to a reasonable picture,
while at the same time discovering that the software build I am using may
have some problems compared to a later release. Alan, if I didn't reply
directly to your post, it may be that it got missed in all the noise!
Sorry about that. I do try to follow up to, or acknowledge the help of
others. I've been away today and only just started to go through the many
posts to this group.
