What good software is available for editing RAW photo files?
I have a DSLR (Canon 550D) and since I'm taking my first steps in the world of RAW photography I don't know which would be a good program to use to edit these files. I've tried digiKam and GIMP but wasn't satisfied. I'm sure there must be better software out there...

I like rawtherapee. You may want to give it a shot. There is also UFRaw, but I personally don't like it as much.
In terminal:
sudo apt-get install rawtherapee
and
sudo apt-get install ufraw
respectively.

Thanks Jaen, but I've already been using the GIMP, Picasa and also digiKam. I was thinking about perhaps something unpopular, but better for this use.
