Re: [Gimp-developer] What about RAW files?

[Partha Bagchi <partha1b gmail com>]

As said above, UFRaw supports all camera RAW (as supported by dcraw). However, it has not been updated in a while. In particular, it will not send 16-bit TIFF to Gimp 2.9.x. But if you want to experiment, I have built UFRaw into Gimp for Windows 64-bit and McGimp Snow Leopard and higher. 

You can get my builds from my website.

There's RAW support in the UFRaw plugin. You can also use a separate
program for RAW conversion (stand-alone UFRaw, rawstudio, darktable,
photivo, raw therapee). In the future GIMP should hopefully have good
RAW support out of the box.
