[buug] Raw image processing tools

CinePaint is a GIMP fork for 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit raster images.
Might be useful in conjuction with, say, UFRaw.

My understanding is that the big problem with raw raster formats is 
that they aren't standardised.

Adobe's Digital Negative Format (DNG) might become a commodity standard
for that purpose, but hasn't persuaded the camera manufacturers, yet.
