Hello,

I'm planning on purchasing a Nikon D80 soon, but I just want to
make sure the following workflow is OK under Linux:

1) The camera is connected via USB and the RAW files downloaded
   using gphoto2:

   gphoto2 --get-all-files

2) RAW files can be decoded using dcraw:

   dcraw -c file0001.nef | cjpeg > file0001.jpg

   Is the white balance encryption an issue?

   dcraw has various options to process the RAW files, is this
   the best (or maybe only) way to manipulate NEF files under
   Linux?

3) If necessary, JPG files can be tweaked with GIMP.

Any further tips, suggestions and cautionary tales are appreciated.

Thanks!
