Please note that eog doesn't support RAW images out of the box. To have it use the actual RAW data it needs the gdk-pixbuf loader from libopenraw installed (which according to packages.ubuntu.com doesn't seem to be shipped with Ubuntu).

If the loader is not installed, often the TIFF loader will kick in as many RAW formats are actually specially organized TIFF files, which is also the reason why eog is listed as a supported application for these files. The TIFF loader then tries to load the first image from the file which is often an already developed variant of the RAW image (which then will be shown in eog).

Unfortunately the pixbuf loader from libopenraw is not always a painless experience with eog at the moment. We have seen it produce wrong colors at least for Canon CR2 files (the one attached here too) with recent library versions.
