GIMP doesn't have RAW support directly. There is a UFRaw plugin, but you may be better served by a dedicated RAW converter such as RawTherapee, DarkTable, or LightZone. (These are all free and open source.)

If you need to do touch-up work after raw conversion, you can export a TIFF file and import that into Gimp.

Ok I'll look into those programs, thank you! Although, do you know if there are any plans on supporting RAW?

There is a UFRaw plugin for Gimp (http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/) that lets it read all the major raw sensor formats. But IMHO raw files are best converted in a separate application.

Announcing plans would be most unwise :) People tend to treat plans as promises.

Yes, we want to make native support for RAW images. Yes, we have some initial code for that in GEGL, our new image processing core. No, we don't know when this will be available. Nobody is working on it right now.

Super Cool!!

you think you will have this before summer of 2013 ????

( just kidding ... I couldn't resist XD )

BTW great job with The GIMP and standing all the trolls commenting against it in this list!

The Photivo raw processor also exports to Gimp:
