RAW conversion is something you can dorepeatedly without degrading the image, as it always starts from the original raw data and never modifies it. You don't need to do anything with the ufraw Let me clarify: it's a downside of doing a simple RAW conversion without too many options and taking the result into Gimp to do the bulk of the work. -- Matthew Miller mat...@mattdm.org http://mattdm.org/ ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] CR2 files
I photographed the aurora while living in Alaska in RAW format which produces a CR2 extension. Why will GIMP not open these photos? Are there plans to expand GIMP to access these file types?

There is a UFRaw plugin for gimp (as just discussed on the gimp-developer list), but you may be better served by a dedicated RAW converter such as RawTherapee, DarkTable, or LightZone. -- Matthew Miller mat...@mattdm.org http://mattdm.org/ ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
