RawTherapee5.5 released. Install RawTherapee RAW image editor for Linux Ubutnu Systems.
RawTherapee provides you with a selection of powerful tools with which you can practise the art of developing raw photos. Be sure to read RawPedia to understand how each tool works so that you may make the most of it. A great place to start is the “Getting Started” article. Click on “Main page” in the top-left corner when you have finished reading that article to see all other articles.
In order to use RawTherapee efficiently you should know that:
- You can scroll all panels using the mouse scroll-wheel.
- You can right-click on a tool’s name to automatically expand it while collapsing all others.
- To change slider values or drop-down list items with the mouse scroll-wheel, hold the Shift key. This is so that you can safely scroll the panels without accidentally changing a slider or other tool setting.
- All curves support the Shift and Ctrl keys while dragging a point. Shift+drag makes the point snap to a meaningful axis (top, bottom, diagonal, other), while Ctrl+drag makes your mouse movement super-fine for precise point positioning.
- There are many keyboard shortcuts which make working with RawTherapee much faster and give you greater control. Make sure you familiarize yourself with them on RawPedia’s “Keyboard Shortcuts” page!
RawTherapee 5.5
RawTherapee 5.5 comes with various new features and improvements:
- Filter to remove striping artifacts caused by Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) as seen in Sony cameras, and to remove banding artifacts caused by Nikon’s too-aggressive in-camera PDAF correction.
- Ability to specify custom working color spaces through the workingspaces.json file.
- Unbounded processing – allows you to decide whether out-of-gamut colors should get clipped.
- Improved support for Canon mRaw format variants.
- New Shadows/Highlights tool (replaced previous one).
- Contrast threshold mask which divides an image into areas of high and low detail, allowing the effect of certain tools to be focused where it matters most and to mitigate the effect on areas where it would be undesirable, for example having the Sharpening tool affect only the in-focus subject without affecting the out-of-focus background.
- Support for Blackmagic and Canon Magic Lantern lj92 encoded files.
- Allows you to specify how many border rows/columns to discard during demosaicing – those who shoot raw video at a standard resolution such as 1920×1080 will appreciate being able to preserve the dimensions.
- New Soft Light tool which enhances contrast and saturation by emulating the effect of blending an image with a copy of itself in “soft light” blending mode in GIMP.
