transfer the appropriate EXIF tags from the RAW file to the output JPEG file when using DCRAW

In general, the "-TagsFromFile" option is a good "first approximation, but some tags would need altering or creating (e.g. White Balance, Compression, colour space, and any colour temperature assumptions made during the use of DCraw)



The aim, of course, if a JPEG with full and accurate EXIF.

You could try using a different front end such as UFraw, Rawphoto or Rawstudio. If you are using Gimp and saving from that then when you save as jeg make sure that you tick the box to save the exif info.

This seems to work for me in debian and ubuntu.
