Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. Before that I deleted GIMP regarding to your previous comment and install GIMP on the terminal and automatically GIMP 2.8. Then I tried to open NEF files and it worked! Regarding to this comment I installed GIMP 2.10 and got all of the packages updated. Then BUM! Now I can open NEF files in GIMP 2.10. Finally it worked! Thank you so much again. I think I should use 'terminal' more :) -- sed (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
