Instant colour rendition of Canon CR2 files

Folks,
In fiddling around looking at how show canon raw file in colour I came across Shotwell Image Viewer.
The attached picture is just opened, took less than two seconds, size reduced in Paint
to show here.
A single 150 second shot at ISO 100 Canon 60Da

The program can stretch etc but not stack,

Thanks Bojan,
No I had not tried the Canon software. So I tried it and it certainly opens the CR2 file in colour. But as far as I can see it only allows save as cr2 format. Shotwell allows a range of formats.

I am a native Linux user and venture into Windows (dual boot) for astro purposes.
So a quick look in Linux to see if picrure quality is OK before going to Windows is most appealing.
Chris
