[Gimp-user] 16 bit import - how to

[Helmut Jarausch <jarausch skynet be>]

Hi,

how can I import a raw (.rw2) file with 16bit color depth.
I'm using the GIT-version of gimp. I have the ufraw plugin installed here but it seems to interpolate the 
colors to 8 bit only.
The standalone ufraw has an option --out-depth but this doesn't seem to be used when I open a raw file in 
Gimp.

What am I missing?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
