You will need several things at least. 1. A program to copy your images from the camera into PC, especially if the device is not seen as USB drive. Maybe gphoto will be of help. http://gphoto.org/ 2. I would recommend you shooting in RAW. In order to import your photos directly in GIMP or process RAW standalone you will need UFRaw ufraw.sf.net with graphical user interface or dcraw http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ as a command-line tool. 3. Also camera profiling tool will be be helpful if you do not find ready profiles for your camera model. http://lprof.sourceforge.net/
