"Raw image data" is actually "raw binary image data" (bitmaps without 
even a header to give height&width) not "raw camera sensor data" (this 
entry predates digital photography...).

UFRaw (standalone or plugin) is slowly falling behind other de-mosaicing 
apps. You should consider using other apps (RawTherapee, Darktable...) 
and then switch to Gimp for local editing towards the end of the 
process. Using your camera manufacturer's standard application (Nikon 
Capture for you) is also an option (if there is an OSX version).
