certainly.  this is from Frank Peters.

the script:

---begin script to convert Nikon NEF (camera raw) to a .tiff that  
cinepaint can work with.  Requires netpbm tools. ---


#! /bin/bash
# accepts two arguments: NEF file, H value
# Converts to Adobe1998 working space for input to cinepaint
# adapted from Frank Peters' script - using pnmtotiff instead of  
pamtotiff


fnef=`basename $1`

dcraw -v -w -c -4 -q 3 -o 0 -H $2 $1 | pnmgamma 2.2 | pnmtotiff -none - 
truecolor
  > file.tif

tifficc -v -e -n -c 2 -t 0 -w -i Nikon_D70.icm -o NKsRGB.icm file.tif $ 
{fnef%nef
}.tif

rm file.tif

--- end script----

~then the resulting .tif file is opened in cinepaint.   Note that  
these arguments to dcraw and tifficc are based on Frank's experience;  
they work well for me.  The .icm files of course must be present and I  
believe are available on the net.

let me explain then.  The subject of the photo is a friend of mine  
with whom I haven't yet been able to obtain permission to use the  
image, as she hasn't yet resonded to email on this subject.   I was  
only concerned that since I didn't obtain permission to post her image  
publicly, that this might cause problems.  But since her identity is  
not known, and the image is mine, I now think these can be licensed as  
open source, BSD is fine.  Please advise if you think I might run into  
problems with this.   Apologies for the labyrinthine nature of this  
process.
