graphics/photography software?

Howdy

I've been running Ubuntu/Mint for a while now, and I'm finding myself using it more and more - I only really boot Windows for gaming, though I can't get rid of it yet (I'm an avid gamer) - but I find myself booting Windows for photography post processing.

I already use Gimp, but I'm looking for software that will process RAW files, a-la Adobe's Lightroom - any recommendations?

I know I could run Lightroom under Wine, but a free alternative would be great, as I'm using the free trial at the moment

Google's Picasa? Think that is available for linux.

I only ever really used it as an image browser, or occasionally if I needed to get a RAW file to JPEG quickly. Adobe's RAW conversions always seemed significantly better than I used to get from Picasa.

Sumopaint and Paint.net ... not sure if they'll do what you want but it's worth a look.

I find RawTherapee does the job for RAW processing:

Digikam is good and will process raw. Gimp should be able to do raw as well if ufraw is installed.
