Take More Control of Your RAW Conversions
RawTherapee is a little gem when comes to converting and editing your RAW photos. It also supports editing of jpg, png and tiff files, but with some features unavailable. Here are the features at a glance:
- Exposure and white balance adjustmens;
- Highlight recovery – works extremely well;
- Shadow/Highlights control;
- ICC Based color management;
- Color and Luminance noise reduction;
- Control thresholds to avoid color clipping in various operations;
- Color changes in CIELab space;
- Chromatic aberration and vignetting correction;
- Rotation/Crop/Resizing/etc.;
In RawTherapee you can also create “postprocessing profiles”, so it is very easy to apply the same settings to multiple photos.
One thing I found it lacking is a batch mode, but with the saved profiles this is not really needed. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the images produced. Very nice program to complement your image processing toolbelt.
