GIMP, Ubuntu Linux, and Canon Raw

November 29, 2008 at 6:48 pm (Software)

I am currently experimenting with Ubuntu Linux on a very outdated IBM Thinkpad T30 Laptop.  So far, I have successfully installed Ubuntu in a double-boot configuration with Windows 2000 as the other operating system.  I’ve set up one of the partitions so that it is shared as storage between Ubuntu and Windows, and Ubuntu is able to read virtually anything and everything.

However, I’ve got one major difficulty facing me – how to get Canon RAW files through this system.  I can use GIMP all day long, but I can’t convert RAW yet.

My current direction is to try Canon DPP with WINE. 

I’ll keep y’all up to date.

    Have you tried UFRaw plug-in for Gimp?
