UFRaw
UFRaw is a utility for converting and manipulating raw images from digital cameras. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a Gimp plugin, and images can be batch processed using the commandline interface. UFRaw reads most existing raw formats using Dave Coffin's raw conversion utility DCRaw, and it supports basic color management using Little CMS, allowing the user to apply color profiles. For Nikon users, UFRaw has the advantage that it can read the camera's tone curves. Even if you don't own a Nikon, you can still apply a Nikon curve to your images.

Recent releases

Changes: The most interesting change in this release is paralelization of the image generation process using OpenMP. This means that UFRaw can make use of your multi-core system.

Changes: This is a minor release to fix two small, but annoying bugs. First, the "Send to Gimp" option now works with Gimp-2.6 out of the box. Second, output and display intents were switched when a proofing transformation was used.

Changes: 33 new cameras are supported thanks to dcraw, and there are 7 new translations. Some of the controls in the user interface were shuffled, getting rid of the "Save As" pop-up dialog. Hopefully, the new interface will streamline your workflow.

Changes: This verision added support for the latest and greatest digital cameras (thanks to dcraw). It is now possible to save images in PNG format with 8- and 16-bit depth, embedding the original EXIF data and attaching an ICC profile. It also provides efficient lossless compression. Other changes include blink over/under exposure in preview, a color smoothing option for all interpolation, delete and 'send to Gimp' buttons in the stand-alone tool, aspect ratio control, and new Spanish, Polish, and Korean translations.

Changes: This is a bug correction version. Non-integer shrink factors are now handled. A crash which occurred when the spot selector reached an image boundary was fixed. Some TIFF images are no longer wrongly identified as raw files.
