From rawfile to print, a colormanaged 16 bit workflow on linux

I was going to make a screencast with audio comments about cinepaint and ufraw. Unfortunately I get a lot of trouble with the sound. Anyway I put it on the web with only text comment. There is other way to do this. This is only meant as an example. I could have spend more time in ufraw, and I guess on another image I would.

The reason I was thinking of making this screencast was to present how a 16bit colormanged workflow could be done in linux. There is a lot of people around complain that they can not use linux because of this. In this workflow even the printing is in 16 bit. I guess thats not very common in the windows world.

If the color looks very off, I guess the reason is that I have not profiled my laptop. My workstation is profiled, but it was easier to get the screencast software up and running on mu ubuntu laptop. I am using my workstation screen profile, just for the sake of an example. The video is in 800×600, which is an compromise between filesize and what is usable.

Dcraw

Dcraw is a very nice and high quality program. New versions are coming the whole time. It can however be quite hard to notice what is new in the latest version.
For a couple of years my workflow has been, download the current dcraw.c and use diff against my previous version. It works of course, but reading the output can be quite hard for a non-programmer.
That was the reason I wrote this shell script.
