What good software is available for editing RAW photo files?

Solution 1:

Have a look at [Darktable], it's an excellent RAW editor.

sudo apt-get install darktable

Darktable

Solution 2:

I like rawtherapee. You may want to give it a shot. There is also UFRaw, but I personally don't like it as much.

In terminal:

sudo apt-get install rawtherapee

and

sudo apt-get install ufraw

respectively.
