Re: [Gimp-user] Suggestion for opening raw images

[Guy Stalnaker <jimmyg521 gmail com>]

Rick,

GIMP 2.8.x is 8-bit not 16-bit capable. To get 16-bit capability you 
need the new 2.10.x version. That's what I have and it does, in that 
dialog, have options for bit-depth (including Endian options).
