RawTherapee and DarkTable can both process CRW files (as i understand
it) and you can then edit them in 8-bit mode in GIMP.

The 2.9 Gimp development version of GIMP can edit in higher bit depths,
making use of more of the detail in the image, but you can still tell
with Gimp 2.8 whether it was an L-series lens :)
