UFraw for Gimp/Linux users

Hi,

http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/

I have only had a quick play with it, but UFraw seems pretty user friendly. Rawshooter looked great when I downloaded it, but it can't yet handle the DLs RAW files, whereas this can. Being open source it's completely free as well. A handy function on it was being able to adjust the EV level by 0.01 at a time. It indicates areas of under/over exposure and you canadjust accordingly. I'll have another play later and show you some results.

Cheers

Liam, get yourself over to http://www.phaseone.com/Content/Downloads.aspx

15 day trial of Capture One LE, best there is and not too expensive.

Edit

Oop's, see your a Linux user, don't know if it will work on that OS, maybe worth atry though.

Yes, McBrian, the clue is in the subject title.

Hi,

No, I'm a Windows user. I know though that there are people that use Linux in these parts, and Gimp is growing more popular as an image manipulation tool. In fact I think there's little that it can't do when compared to PS etc.

All you need to do is to download the GIMP and/or the GTK runtime environment first and from there you can run UFraw. As I use Gimp anyway, I wanted to try something compatible.. and there are others around to try out as well.

I had a look at Capture1LE, and thought about it, but found this. I'll certainly be trying out C1 at some point, but I have a thing about paying for software, especially with a massive boom in the free stuff in the last year.

Cheers

Hi Liam,

As soon as I read your first post, I installed UFRaw (I already have Gimp installed). I just had a quick look at it, and I think it is quite convenient and compares with Rawshooter Essentials.

Cheers
