It is possible now with a RAW convertor such as UFRaw. However, UFRaw sends 8-bit data to Gimp and hence would not take advantage of 16-bit editing that is possible with Gimp 2.9 and beyond.

Hi,

the UFRAW plugin [1][2] is your friend here. Please keep in mind that the current UFRAW plugin doesn't work with GIMP 2.8.2. Please use GIMP 2.6 or GIMP 2.8.0 then or use UFRAW as standalone RAW processor. Another way would be processing the RAW files in Canons own RAW processor Digital Photo Professional, export them as JPEG or TIFF and reopen them in GIMP. This seems to be more inconvenient on the first look, but lets you better use Canon camera features than a generic RAW processor and have GIMPs image editing features as well.

You find more information on UFRAW in the GIMP-User mailing list [3]. There were some postings to this topic this November and December.

BTW AFAIK Canons RAW format is CR2. Is RF2 a typo or is something new approaching us?

Kind regards,

Sven
