It seems that only Floyd has kept the original poster's question in mind. The poster didn't ask what OS or what software would be an improvement on what he has. He asked what can be done to work with what he has.

Floyd - presumably - did a good job in answering this. I say "presumably" because I use neither Linux nor Gimp and don't know how practical Floyd's response was.

Neither GIMP nor Linux was a problem, and the problem he had would be exactly the same under Windows or OSX.

It's too bad that questions like the original poster's get diverted into battles over OS and software with the same old points being rehashed over-and-over. Nothing new was brought up.

We redirected practical discussion to a newsgroup where it would not be diverted.

The OP is well on his way to learning various ways to use the software he asked about to get the results he needs. It did indeed turn out to be precisely what I suggested in regard to setting a default configuration for UFRAW. The OP has made two RAW files available and a couple of us are showing him techniques that work.

You'd think some people have just discovered that Photoshop is a good program and feel compelled to tell the world about it.

'nuf said.
