## Green Tint Issue

To fix the green tint issue during post processing of your pictures, add "-a" and "-f" to dcraw line (about #82) into postprocess.sh file

First look for postprocess.sh file:

```console
$ cd ../..
$ sudo find / -type f -name postprocess.sh
```

Goto the postprocess.sh directory you found using the above command. Here the example */var/lib/flatpak/app/me.gapixels.Megapixels/aarch64/master/[...]/files/share/megapixels/postprocess.sh* is used:

```console
$ cd /var/lib/flatpak/app/me.gapixels.Megapixels/aarch64/master/[...]/files/share/megapixels
```

Backup original file and add "-a" and "-f" to dcraw line, using replace command:

```console
$ sudo cp postprocess.sh postprocess.sh.bk
$ sudo sed -i 's/$DCRAW +M -H 4 -o 1 -q 3 -T "$@" "$MAIN_PICTURE.dng"/$DCRAW +M -H 4 -o 1 -q 3 -T -a -f "$@" "$MAIN_PICTURE.dng"/' postprocess.sh
```
