[Gimp-user] NEF opening files wit version 2.8.14
Hi, I am new to Gimp. Installed 2.8.14 on OSX Yosemite. Works like a charm for opening raws from Fuji and Panasonic cameras, but with Nikon NEF files (older and newer) it only extracts a JPEG thumbnail. Am I missing something here?

Hi Alex, It says UFraw is version 0.20. I did not install UFraw, it seems to come with the 2.8.14 kit I downloaded and installed. Thanks Typically this happens because you have an older version of UFRaw. Try opening a Fuji or a Panasonic file, in the lower right corner of UFRaw's dialog click 'Options', then go to the 'About' dialog and tell us, please, which version it is. Thanks.

I feel that there is something lost from my original post. Like it never reached to the list. I see still it in archive, I point it for reference: http://www.mail-archive.com/gimp-user-list%40gnome.org/msg08063.html Have you looked my original scan I linked there? Yes, I looked at it in detail. Yes, it is scan of printed document. But this is not problem. I have more than 20 years experience of scanning printed docs. Please remember that we don't know your background. Problem is, when I use same settings in Gimp 2.6 and 2.8 for scaling down the same sample I got completely different results. This is probably because the default downscaling method changed. The new method is better for some things and worse for others. And unfortunately, 2.8 is so much worse. So we must use additional processing before scaling. I like to have full workflow foolproof and simple, so I can delegate it whomever I need. Adding additional levels of processing is bad practice in my environment. You can change the default downscaling method. I tried with two different computers (both Gimp 2.8) and got same ugly result. It seemed unbelievable, that new version may have such comedown and no one has noticed such behaviour, so I asked here for others experience. If that's the case, the grid is liable to appear at any time on scaling down the image, or possibly with other image editing operations, both in gimp and in other programs, especially with 8- bit per channel colour. It's a function of the image, not of the software. So, if I take same image and scale it down with 3 different tools (Gimp 2.8, Gimp 2.6 and ImageMagick), I got 3 different results and it is function of image??? How? It is a combination of the image and the tools, of course. I deal with these often in processing scans. You can use a frequency decomposition to remove them, or you can do a guassian blur as I think others have suggested, before scaling down. I do, if needed. In 2.6 it was not necessary, generally. In 2.8 it is not avoidable, that's my problem. It depends on the interpolation method that's used - in a recent gimp 2.9 snapshot I found the pattern appeard with one interpolation method but not another. The default interpolation method I think changes from time to time in different GIMP releases. I explicitly used Sinc interpolation in both cases, with 2.6 and with 2.8. Well, you didn't say that before. However, I do believe the code changed. I think in 2.6 the dialogue was misleading as Cubic was used for downscaling in that case.

Re: [Gimp-user] NEF opening files wit version 2.8.14
There is no need to file a bug. This has been going on for a while with UFRaw and GIMP. Trying updating to version 0.21 or even the CVS version.

That did the trick! It works by selecting raw camera type instead of letting Gimp decide. Thanks a lot!! Dodi Instead of letting GIMP selected the file automatically, scroll down and specifically select the camera raw images (should be a long list of files) before opening NEF images. -- Dodi (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

Tried both a D610 and a D5500. Also Canon 6D files fail to open correctly. D. You wouldn't be able to install UFRaw separately :) I don't remember the last time a DMG was available, if ever. What's you Nikon camera's model?
