RawTherapee uses a patched version of dcraw code to read and parse raw formats, with additional tweaks and constraints to parameters such as white levels and the raw crop area based on in-house measurements. It also supports common non-raw image formats like JPEG, PNG and TIFF as well as high dynamic range, 16/24/32-bit raw DNG images. RawTherapee supports most raw formats, including Pentax Pixel Shift, Canon Dual-Pixel, and those from Foveon and X-Trans sensors. Īll the internal processing is done in a high precision 32-bit floating point engine. These adjustments are then applied during the export process. Adjustments made by the user are immediately reflected in the preview image, though they are not physically applied to the opened image but the parameters are saved to a separate sidecar file. RawTherapee involves the concept of non-destructive editing, similar to that of some other raw conversion software. The name "Therapee" was originally an acronym derived from "The Experimental Raw Photo Editor". It is written in C++, using a GTK+ front-end and a patched version of dcraw for reading raw files.
#DIGITAL CAMERA PHOTO RECOVERY SOFTWARE#
RawTherapee was originally written by Gábor Horváth of Budapest, Hungary, and was re-licensed as free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License Version 3 in January 2010. It is cross-platform, with versions for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux. It is notable for the advanced control it gives the user over the demosaicing and developing process. It comprises a subset of image editing operations specifically aimed at non-destructive post-production of raw photos and is primarily focused on improving a photographer's workflow by facilitating the handling of large numbers of images. RawTherapee is application software for processing photographs in raw image formats, as created by many digital cameras.
