"nef" is a proprietary format used by Nikon and maybe other I don't know,
but gimp cannot read it.  What you see the the thumbnail contained withing
the closed format file.  You need to use ufraw to open an pass the file to
gimp. You didn't say what operating system you use, but instructions are
easily found using google search.
