Description Ed Wiget 2008-05-19 22:23:42 UTC
New version of dcraw 8.86 adds compatibility to newer canons DSLR's.  Without the newer version, raw decode has a very pink cast.  media-gfx/ufraw also uses dcraw to decode raw camera files so it is affected.  It also affects digikam, libkdcraw, and possibly others.  Further problem description with patch found here:  http://const.deribin.com/ufraw_and_Canon_450D

I made an ebuild from existing version that works correctly, however, the gentoo ebuild uses a static link to files off dcraw homepage located here SRC_URI="http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/src/media-gfx/dcraw/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dcraw ufraw digikam 
2. open canon 450D raw file in any of these programs
3. all have a pink/red cast to them

Actual Results:  
all have a pink/red cast to them

Expected Results:  
should not have a pink or red cast to them

well documented problem all over the net:

FYI, dcraw's author policy is that he doesn't like shared libraries. That's why all these tools ship a bundled copy of dcraw (and why the libkdcraw was created, so that at least KDE programs don't have to ship dcraw themselves).
