Ubuntu – Open RAW image files in GIMP

gimpimage processing

Is there any plugin for GIMP to edit RAW photo files? I tried ufraw which is quite popular, but its GUI sucks to the degree of being unusable.

Moreover, I want to edit my files in GIMP, using GIMP tools that I am used to, not in ufraw-like plugin. Any ideas?

I am not interested in stand-alone applications like Raw Therappe. My goal is to edit RAW files in GIMP the same way as any other image file.

Best Answer

Install package gimp-dcraw. This is simple plugin that uses dcraw to decode RAW files and pass them to GIMP. All editing like colors, tone curves, stamps etc. are done with GIMP built-in editing tools, plugin only asks for optional decoding parameters.
