This months Digital SLR Photography Magazine
(
http://www.digitalslrphoto.com/) has a review of these and several
other similar tools. Only talks about Win and Mac though so I doubt
any of them work with Linux though I have not tried any.
It's a pity because I find just about all my photos come back from
Jessops just a little too dark.

Sadly I will not be able to make it (never yet made a meet). Hope
there will be a recording!
On a side note, anyone tried to get the latest UFRaw plugin compiled
and working with the version of GIMP on Ubuntu 8.10? The version of
UFRaw in the repos still does not support my camera but the web site
says the latest version does.
