Importing Raw images into Krita

I would like to try Krita for processing RAW images from my Nikon D60. Looked at the Krita manual (link below) and there should be an option to import Nikon NEF files but I dont see it in Krita. Do I need to install another package for this ? I already have graphicsmagick, libraw1394 installed.

Also any tips or tutorials about using FOSS Linux bases software for HDR would be great.

thanks
Vikram

Re: Importing Raw images into Krita

thanks for the link. i can do limited raw editing using Digikam. The user interface of GIMP is well not for everyone so I wanted to try Krita. From another mesage in the KDE forum looks like i might need kdcraw. Unfortunately the AUR only has one for the KDE3 branch and another svn branch which is really old. How can I get libkdcraw for arch ?

I find the dcraw program, but not the lib.

Here's ther response when I posted this in the KDE forums :
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=85623

Looks like they libkdcraw dependency is missing from the arch repos. I have send an email to Ronald VH (the arch package maintainer) just now. hopefully the library can be added to arch.
