Digital BW, The Print

Dear Peter and DigtalBWers,

 

I experimented with tools other than the Nikon software and Photoshop to
convert NEFs, but nothing was really satisfactory.

 

The cheapest OS today when using graphics is simply Windows.

 

If you are ready to buy Photoshop PS though (the best raw-conversion you can
think of), I would send a mail to Adobe. Since they already have a Photoshop
version for Mac OSX, it should not be that difficult for them to port it to
Linux/Unix, since OSX is just another Unix flavour.

 

Maybe the market share is still to small for them, but it is worth asking.

 

Best greetings,

 

Dré

Onderwerp: [Digital BW] Linux feasibility

 


I recently set up SuSE Linux on a PC at home, mainly to experiment 
with server-side programming on Apache.   All my other PC's are 
Windows.   But it did make me wonder whether Linux would be feasible 
for any photo-related work.     I know GIMP isn't in the same league 
as Photoshop but what's the stoy on these other topics:

1.  Nikon RAW (.nef) files.   Can I upoad RAW files from my D100 via 
USB?   What if I put them on a CF card first?     What can I use to 
convert them to 16-bit TIFF'?

2.  Printer drivers - what is the quality and stability of printer 
drivers - especially for the 2200?   Is there a complete set of 
functionality for profiles, head-cleaning, ink-supply monitoring, etc?

3.  Scanner drivers - espcially Nikon Coolscan V - quality, 
reliability?
