Hi,

Don't know if there are too many photography nerds here, but I've
discovered a very nice package for managing raw photo publishing:
darktable - http://www.darktable.org/

It's not really a pixel editor like Gimp. You can add a whole variety of
transforms and filters to a group of pictures, and then export them all,
leaving the original files untouched. It works in 32 bit/pixel floating
point, so you don't get quantization issues.

darktable's UI is a little odd, and it will take you a few hours to
learn how everything works. After you learn, it works just fine.

cheers,
 Stewart
