I have just upgraded from Win11 to Debian13 and as previous ive use RawTherapee for my photoediting. But now i noticed that some images getting real wierd in the colours when editing.
While both are NEFs without any editing, ones get super nice while the others gets grey and way over exposed in some areas.
I guess there is some automatics that i have not found to shut of, but its also wierd i did not ever expierence this on the windows version previously.
I suspect left is digikam and right RT? Did you use both programs under windows, too?
Digikam is AFAIK displaying the embedded preview, RT its own output of the processed RAW data.
Have now also tried exporting from rawtherapee, digicam and now also darktable. Darktable and digicam behaves similar och it produces the same image. While rawtherapee produces a one that is really wierd in comparison.
Might it be that they interpate the NEF files differently?
Pretty much every raw developer interprets the raw files in their own way. Your cameras JPEG (and the embedded jpg preview within the .nef) is also one of the infinite possible interpretations of the raw data.
The fact that dt and digikam produce a more similar result then rt is - I guess - more of a coincidence.
(oh and also welcome to the forum!)
Did you actually open the image in darktable to edit it? If not, then you’re seeing the embedded jpeg on the light table view.
