Thanks, Adam.

Now that I understand what's going on, I can ensure I make the RAW
adjustments on the way to GIMP.

Having said that, I don't think it's Shotwell's place to be performing a
file conversion when arranging for an image file to be edited by an
external program. There's no mention of this in the Edit=>Preferences
dialogue when an external program is selected, nor is there a mention of
it in the manual, so it was a reasonable assumption on my part that the
external program would be supplied with the original file to work on.

After all, GIMP knows what to do with a RAW image if it's opened from
the File Manager, so why shouldn't it do the same when passed a RAW
image by Shotwell?

You may think I'm just being awkward here, but if I hadn't realised
there was something odd going on here, I might have been discarding
underexposed images (for example) because I couldn't improve them
sufficiently in GIMP.
