Description:

UFRaw is a utility to read and manipulate raw images from digital cameras.
It can be used by itself or as a Gimp plug-in.
It reads raw images using Dave Coffin's raw conversion utility DCRaw.
And it supports basic color management using Little CMS, allowing
the user to apply color profiles.

Ufraw was originally based on the gimp plug-in by Dave Coffin
http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/
and on Pawel T. Jochym's (jochym at ifj edu pl) plug-in.

Raw images are the data directly read from the CCD of the camera,
without in-camera processing, without lossy JPEG compression, and in
36 or 48 bits color depth (TIFF has 24 bits). Problem of the raw
images is that they are in proprietary, camera-specific formats as
they are exactly what the CCD has captured, and the CCDs on differnt
cameras are very different. It also contains info about the camera
settings.
