I have an EOS 5D and raw images work fine with Shotwell for that camera so the 60D may have introduced a new version of the CR2 format. It won't solve your immediate problem but I suggest that you send a description of your problem to the Shotwell mailing list [1] as they will be very keen to hear of any problem and solve it for the upcoming 0.8 if they can. >From your image, Shotwell and RawStudio seem to misunderstand the data in similar ways so the actual problem is probably with the underlying raw library (libraw). If this is the case, the Shotwell developers will be able to identify the problem and report it to the libraw devs. [1] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell > > I am trying very hard not to have to resort to using my Windows PC for > image editing as this is one of the few remaining tasks I cannot do in > Ubuntu.

Apart from the raw issues, what part of your workflow can you currently not do with Ubuntu?
