I photographed the aurora while living in Alaska in RAW format which

plans to expand GIMP to access these file types?


CR2 files are a type of RAW, and Gimp doesn't handle RAW files. 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.
