RAW Studio is an excellent utility for editing RAW photographic files. It is available for Linux OSes such as Ubuntu.

For the evaluation of this program, we had it installed on an old Pentium 3 with 348 Mb RAM that is running Xubuntu Linux 6.06. RAW studio is snappy to use and very responsive. It comes with 3 preset settings which can be manipulated. You can easily change the following parameters of your RAW file:

  1. Exposure
  2. Saturation
  3. Hue
  4. Contrast/ Warm Tint
  5. White balance

The software features a browser to view all RAW files within any given directory. It also allows for batch conversion of images to JPEG, PNG and TIFF formats.
