Ufraw Error Activation Gimp For Mac

I have installed that stand alone verson for windows (I know that may be a bad word). It is not at all clear how to change the file type that the save function generates. There is a mention of changing the 'resource' file but I could not find the details (path of tile, program used to edit it, values to put in). As an alternative I tried to link to GIMP but I get the error: 'error activating Gimp. Failed to execute helper program (invalid argument)'. I tired putting in the full path forGimp in the configuration but that did not help.

The Author dislike windows - watch his homepage about his coments about. I guess he will not helps you to solve your issue. Well, Gimp and DCRaw are unix programs, who migrated by using a bunch on libraries to get them work. Linux generaly does'nt support's a centralized configuration database. It's work's like all other rotten Unix based system by using their special config file, often placed in /etc or the the users home directory. Programmer's often use the similar system on windows by using local config files in the users profile directory, instead using the registry of windows. This needs a special threadment and in most cases, the Gnu-Linux programmer's don't spend the time to implement them.

So, i guess you should use a different solution. There are a couple of the available. Well, you must decide if you wnat to spend the time in recherche to find the free software to build your workflow upon free tools or you spend some money and save the time and spend more time to edit your pictures. I would not recomment to find cheaper solutions like Infinity photo and a camera-raw addition. Both together are available for less that $100.- and works until just 10 minutes installation procedure.

The time you need to get them work is the factor you need to compare by teh money you need to invest. You have the decision.
