Yes. But making adjustments within Rawstudio (curves, brightness,
contrast etc) creates an image that is quite wrong when imported into
Cinepaint.

If I don't adjust within Rawstudio, it removes the problem but throws
away a large part of the (excellent) functionality of Rawstudio.
Rawstudio just becomes a glorified previewer. That's a pity.
