In this post I will explain just the basics of opening a photo with some simple changes. The tool has quite a few controls for adjusting the image even before opening the converted file in GIMP and it can, indeed, be used as a stand alone program if desired. This fine tool does a great job of converting a few of the basic RAW formats (Canon, Nikon and a few others) into your choice of outputs. All of the appropriate packages can be found on UFRaw’s download page. You may still find these instructions helpful.Īnd for Linux folks, instructions for installing are as vast as there are flavors of Linux.
So not only do you have reason to not complain, you may gloat a little if that is your style. There’s a very good reason you don’t need these instructions on installing UFRaw for GIMP because it’s already included with the Mac build of GIMP. Now, before the Mac crowd starts getting hot under the collar that this is another GIMP post excluding them, I can explain.
