[Gimp-user] GIMP & RAW

[DavidC <forums gimpusers com>]

I’m very new to GIMP & this forum, slowly getting to grips with it (thanks to
‘How to Gimp’ & YouTube). However I’m experiencing one problem & I’m sure that
this question has probably been asked several times before; how can I connect
Gimp 2.8 & UFRaw?
I have 2 RAW formats, Canon (CR2) & Panasonic (RW2). I ticked the boxes that
were available when I downloaded UFRaw but in GIMP when I try to open an image
in the folder where there are RAW files, nothing is shown to open. Conversely,
in UFRaw, I can open RAW images but it won’t pass them to GIMP! However, one I
opened an image in UFRaw, changed some settings (trial & error) then closed the
image. Somehow, ay a later date I found that in GIMP I had the corrected image
with the suffix .ppm. I don’t remember what I did!
If someone could help or point me in the right direction I would be very
grateful as I don’t want to keep working in jpeg
