From rawfile to print, a colormanaged 16 bit workflow on linux
Friday, July 13th, 2007
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.
