[Gimp-user] not to knock gimp...I love it, BUT I have never has decent prints from it

[Jaime Seuma]

In order to get a version of UFRaw for Ubuntu more up-to-date than the
one in the repositories (for Hardy) I got the .deb in
http://www.getdeb.net/.
This way I can denoise pictures using UFRaw in ubuntu.

Hope it helps
