The new Unidentified Flying Raw (nUFRaw) is a utility to read and manipulate raw images from digital cameras. It reads raw images using Dave Coffin’s raw conversion utility – DCRaw.
nUFRaw supports basic color management using Little CMS, allowing the user to apply color profiles. For Nikon users nUFRaw 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.
nUFRaw can also work as a GIMP plug-in.
