UFRaw – read and manipulate raw images from digital cameras

UFRaw (The Unidentified Flying Raw) is a tool to import raw data from high-end digital cameras.

It 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 plug-in, and images can be batch processed using the command-line interface.

UFRaw relies on Digital Camera Raw (DCRaw) for the actual encoding of the raw images. It supports basic color management using Little CMS, allowing the user to apply color profiles.
