Learning how to use Linux and GIMP might not be possible for some people, but it can be a superior choice for others.

only for those not interested or incapable of using more capable software.

had the original poster been using camera raw, he would not have had any problems with minolta/sony or any other raw file, and he would also benefit from a fully non-destructive workflow, something not possible with the gimp/ufraw.

I'm confused. Are you saying *noone* can produce good and efficient results with GIMP, or are you saying *you* aren't able to use it effectively?

nospam
neither.

Bob
So then you are saying GIMP *can* be used efficiently with good results?

definitely not.

not only is the gimp not at all efficient in what it does do, but it can't do a lot of things that other software has been doing for *years* and given its road map, it won't ever be doing.
