The question is in the title really. I kept seeing the new developments and I installed the latest gimp version (I am on Linux).I already use dark table with my cr3 files but I have no idea how to open them in gimp 3.0.8

I'm just running GIMP and Darktable from my distro's package manager, yeah. I haven't had to manually install any plugins as far as I can recall. (Some might be automatically installed by my distro through?)

    alright! it works now just like you said. but i have another question now. why does it need to open the cr3 (or raw image) in darktable first?

    I don't know. Could be the developers didn't want to reimplement raw-specific handling that other software already implemented, or maybe some other software has a similar workflow they copied? (Does Photoshop do something like this with Lightroom, perhaps?) Just guessing.

    Anyway, glad that you've got it working. What was wrong?

    No idea! Just worked like you said after I reinstalled both of them... Photoshop doesn't do that, it opens the raw file directly but it is too expensive and too windows. Anyway now I need to find tutorials to relearn how to edit my photos
