Canon supplies software that can be used to edit photos produced by Canon cameras. Since GIMP does not support the development of raw files this software performs a necessary function, even, for those of us who desire using GIMP for lots of our editing work. This Canon software also provides some powerful printing capability that is quite lacking in GIMP. However, it turns out that files created by GIMP in .tif format cannot be processed by the Canon software.
While I'm sure this is the kind of problem that temps everyone to want to blame the other guy, there is something amiss here. When it comes to GIMP, I'm not aware of any other software that cannot handle the same files that Canon Digital Photography Professional (DPP) is having a problem with. Whereas DPP is handling files produced by other programs such as Rawtherapee without any difficulty. In the case of GIMP it doesn't seem to matter whether problem files are of 8 or 16 bit precision.
Any ideas on what is going on here?
