Re: [Gimp-user] Can't open nef images in gimp 2.9.3

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong magma ca>]

Hi James,

You may not be aware that Nikon provides two FREE programs for working with 
NEF files.

- ViewNX-i   for transferring from your card reader or camera (click 
"Transfer" icon), among other things.
- Capture NX-D   for working on exposure compensation, Active-D lighting, 
etc.

Both programs can export to JPEG, TIFF 8bit and TIFF 16 bit files. This is 
not the answer you were hoping for, but it is a work-around for now.

I believe (new GIMP user here) that GIMP only opens TFF 8bit files, or 
converts 16s to 8s, so saving in 8bit TIFF saves any loss in conversion.

I use the two Nikon programs all the time because I found Lightroom to be 
lousy.

Cheers,
Rick

are we foreseeing an answer to the issue? Are there any hope for newcomers 
to
GIMP?
