FW: GIMP, GEGL and raw image formats

[us3r07]

Thanks for the quick response Martin!
Sounds great!

Years ago I made a feature request on the bug tracker and asked for adding support for raw images, but finally it ended in a resolved - wontfix.
But that was afaik a while before there were any intentions to switch to GEGL.
And if GEGL provides this ability by default, why not using it in GIMP? :)

For the time being I have to use UFRaw for that job.

Regards,
Micha

I believe that is exactly what's planned.  It's alot of work and so
will take time.

It's also the case that GEGL is not as complete as Gimp, at least not
yet.  It makes no sense to adopt GEGL if it means eliminating most of
the Gimp's existing features to do so.  GEGL itself must be finished
first.
