I don't think GIMP can open either nef or nrw Nikon files. What you need is an 
app that does like RawTherapee (link for Windows at bottom):

On the Linux platform there are plug-ins for GIMP for ufraw and dcraw that make 
it appear as if GIMP can open such files, but you're actually opening the raw 
file in those apps which handoff their output to gimp once raw conversion is 
done. I am unsure about a similar plug-in for RawTherapee/GIMP, so the work 
flow is open in RawTherapee, save as TIF, open in GIMP.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Open / Edit Nikon D5500 NEF files ?

I have downloaded gimp 2.8 and am trying to access the RAW Files(NEF Nikon 
format) created in my Nikon D5500 camera.  However the files are not recognized 
by GIMP.  The files cannot be open.  My computer's operating system is Windows 
10.  Is there a work around for this or do I have to purchase Lightroom 6.0 in 
order to open / edit my NEF files?
