I took a few shot in RAW but I can't open them in GIMP.

I downloaded the UFRAW software/plugin, but still doesn't work. I didn't bother too much to make it work, since I should have my new computer on tuesday, and I will try on this new configuration instead.

"The way to solve this is to figure out the correct exposure and set the camera manually. You can do this by experimenting with the empty setup. "

You mean changing the aperture and shutter speed ? Or playing with the white balance ?

Cause I think the white balance, is adjusted for the 18% gray (for human caucasian color), is it possible that's why I see grey instead of white ? or it's not related ?

"Shoot the pictures in RAW and then adjust the exposure in the GIMP to get the background to become unobtrusive. "

How do you exactly adjust the exposure that way ?
