Edit photos with an external program
</title>
<p>
You might want to use an external editor to do additional work on a photo.
If installed, GIMP and UFRaw are the default external editors for photo and RAW editing,
respectively. If these programs are not installed, you must select your preferred
editors by choosing <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> and selecting
editors from drop-down menus of installed applications.
</p>
<p>
Once your editors have been set, select a photo and choose <guiseq><gui>Photos</gui>
<gui>Open With External Editor</gui></guiseq> to open the photo with the external editor.
Likewise, if the original photo is a RAW file, select <guiseq><gui>Photos</gui><gui>Open
With RAW Editor</gui></guiseq> to edit the RAW file directly with the set RAW editor.
</p>
<p>
When you complete your edits and save the file, Shotwell will detect the changes and
update the photo. When external edits have been made, press and hold the
<key>Shift</key> key in full-window view to show the original photo rather than the
externally-edited one.
</p>
<p>
Reverting to original will erase any external edits.
</p>
<note>
<p>
If you externally edit a RAW photo and save the result to another image, such as a
JPEG or PNG, Shotwell cannot automatically determine that the original RAW and the
new image should be paired.
</p>
<p>
If you want to work within the resulting image within Shotwell, you'll need to
import it yourself.
