I am a semi-professional/hobbyist Photographer. I have been able to avoid having to edit my photos, beyond cropping, by controlling the light with my mini-studio set-up in a corner. I would like to learn how to edit and/or re-expose raw format photos so that I can no longer be confined to my little predefined lighting set-up. My issue is that I don't know what program(s) can do what I am asking. I would prefer something that is free to start with. I am willing to learn how it works by playing around with the settings and seeing what happens to the picture. I would like to avoid any program that requires coding as the only way to interact. Other than that it doesn't really matter how dense obtuse the interface is. Thank you for your time.

Welcome! If you are wondering how to connect your digital camera and download images to a Linux PC, go to the gPhoto homepage. My software is for processing those images after downloading them. If you're downloading JPEG files, you don't need my software at all. The image has already been processed inside the camera. Almost all digital cameras made since 1997 produce JPEG images, so why would you want to do it any other way? Well, despite the convenience and ubiquity of JPEG, there are some disadvantages. JPEG is a lossy format -- to fit a big image into a small file, a lot of information is thrown away. That's why midrange and high-end digital cameras offer an alternative: Raw, unprocessed CCD data files, for which the camera manufacturer provides special decoding software. Of course this software is for Windows and Macintosh only, with no source code. So it's useless to users of other operating systems, programmers hoping to design a better interpolation algorithm, and historians not yet born in an era when the only Windows machines will be in museums. So here is my mission: Write and maintain an ANSI C program that decodes any raw image from any digital camera on any computer running any operating system. That program is called dcraw (pronounced "dee-see-raw"), and it's become a standard tool within and without the Open Source world. It's small (about 9000 lines), portable (standard C libraries only), free (both "gratis" and "libre"), and when used skillfully, produces better quality output than the tools provided by the camera vendor. Here's my resume. I do freelance consulting related to dcraw, and I'm also available for full-time software work in the Northeast USA. I can be reached by sending e-mail to cybercom dot net with the username "dcoffin".

Try GIMP. I haven't ever used it for raw formats, but it handles many file types, so hopefully it can do what you want. It doesn't support CMYK colours though, which might get in the way if you're using that.

instead of being a scrub tier and trying to convince yourself that some weird gui poo poo hiding dcraw is very professional and good just go with the standard that every photographer ever uses and use either lr or camera raw for photoshop but if you're cheap the answer is lightroom since it's like 120 or 150 also please close this shameful thread
