Some cameras have the ability to store data directly off the sensor + and into a file that contains extra color information; this is commonly + referred to as 'RAW' or 'camera RAW', and Shotwell supports these files + as well.

+ +

Since RAW photographs normally cannot be displayed directly, but must + be first developed - that is, have their extra information interpreted and + readied for displaying - most cameras will either embed a JPEG inside a + RAW-format file, or produce a JPEG alongside the RAW file at the time the + snapshot is taken. The latter is referred to throughout this document as + RAW+JPEG. If you import a RAW+JPEG pair, Shotwell will + keep them paired and treat them as one item in your library. +

+ +

When you import a RAW file, you can choose to either use the camera's + internally-developed JPEG or Shotwell's by selecting + PhotosDeveloper in the menus. +

+ + +

+ Changing between developers will cause all edits made to a photograph + to be discarded. +

+
+ +

+ In order to publish or use a RAW photograph in most other software, it has to be + exported first. Shotwell can export your RAW photos in JPEG, PNG, TIFF + or BMP format, and, when publishing, will internally export a JPEG version + for you and publish that. +
