Hi Andrew, I have tried Rawstudio, but it gave me bad results, al least with NEF files. I din't knew about Rawtherapee, I will try it. But as I see it is based on DCraw for reading the input file. As far as I know DCraw and Ufraw are very similar, so this solution is maybe similar to using Ufraw as Gimp plug-in, but I will not talk anymore until I try it for real. Thanks and greetings!
