Unidentified Flying Raw (UFRaw) -- это утилита для импорта изображений в raw-формате («цифровых негативов») с цифровых камер.

Она может использоваться в качестве отдельного инструмента или как модуль для Gimp. Также изображения могут обрабатываться пакетно с использованием интерфейса командной строки. UFRaw распознаёт большинство существующих форматов, используя для этого библиотеку DCRaw, созданную Дейвом Коффином (Dave Coffin). Поддерживается простое управление цветами посредством Little CMS, что позволяет пользователю применять цветовые профили.
