There's RAW support in the UFRaw plugin. You can also use a separate program for RAW conversion (stand-alone UFRaw, rawstudio, darktable, photivo, raw therapee). In the future GIMP should hopefully have good RAW support out of the box.

As said above, UFRaw supports all camera RAW (as supported by dcraw). However, it has not been updated in a while. In particular, it will not send 16-bit TIFF to Gimp 2.9.x. But if you want to experiment, I have built UFRaw into Gimp for Windows 64-bit and McGimp Snow Leopard and higher.

You can get my builds from my website.

Support for RAW files is available using either the dcraw or ufraw plug-in for GIMP.

I've worked on a patch for ufraw which implements that. I'm not yet 100% content with it, but I'll post it upstream for a review.

Ever noticed that common sense isn't really all that common?

That's cool! :)

Can you send me a link?

Thanks in advance, Partha
