GIMP, UFraw and the NIKON NRW raw file format

Dear all,

This is a question about Gimp and the Nikon NRW raw file format.

I have the gimp plugin for ufraw installed. I used ufraw to open the Nikon NRW raw file format and it worked well. If I try and use GIMP to open the NRW file then it complains that it does not understand the file format. When I open an NRW file with ufraw and select send the file to GIMP then GIMP does not know how to handle the file.

I suspect that the Gimp plugin does not recognise the NRW format and has to be updated somewhere.

Does anyone know how to mend this?

Yours sincerely, J.

I use Nikon's NEF raw format without problem (NIKON D5000). I am not sure why you have a NRW format. What camera do you have?

OT: Paul, just wanted to say that this is the most astoundingly over-the-top use of an HTML email I have ever seen, and seeing it on this list in particular is almost like some sort of a gift to those of us with a dark sense of humor. :-) Bravo

Hear hear. I am impressed.

Back on topic. The NRW is Nikon new raw file format and can be found in the Nikon CoolPix P6000. Here is an article about it: http://www.richardshih.com/blog/?p=326

I spoke with LightCrafts yesterday & they told me that Lightzone can decode the NRW format by renaming the file extension to NEF. I have not tried this yet, but they did send me a screenshot of my NRW raw file file opened in Lightzone, which is a relief.

Ufraw does decode this so think it is just a matter of telling the ufraw gimp plugin to recognise the the extension, or have ufraw correctly pass this to Gimp. I know very little about how this works so think someone more knowledgeable ought to shed more light.

I apologise!!!!

I constantly forget to switch to Plain text and excluded all the corporate paraphernalia! It is added automatically and so we don't even see it! (unless being sent back in reply).

I will try to remember!

I enjoy this mail group since there is still so much to learn of Gimp!
