Download RawTherapee 5.8

RawTherapee is an open source photo editing program and focuses on editing raw photo files. In addition to these so-called raw files, it can also handle jpeg, bmp, tiff and png. The original photo is never affected, all editing takes place in memory and is not written until the photo is exported. For an overview of the possibilities, we refer to this page on Raw Pedia. Version 5.8 has been released and the announcement looks like this:

New Features

• Automatically recover detail lost to lens blur (diffraction) using the new Capture Sharpening tool, located in the “Raw” tab. It takes place right after demosaicing, and as it works in linear space it is not prone to haloing. Capture Sharpening in combination with Post-Resize Sharpening allows for detailed and crisp results.
• CR3 support: image data is decoded so you can process your raw files, but metadata is not supported yet. If you have an ICC or DCP input profile for your CR3-producing camera, you will need to point RawTherapee to it manually (Color tab > Color Management > Input Profile > Custom).
• Improvements of various camera models (new DCP dual-illuminant input profiles, raw crops, white levels, etc.), speedups and optimizations to various tools, better memory management, various bug fixes. See the git log for details.

RawTherapee and other open-source projects require access to sample raw files from various camera makes and models in order to support those raw formats correctly. You can help by submitting raw files to RPU: https://raw.pixls.us/
