NAME
rawtherapee - A free RAW converter and digital photo processing
software
SYNOPSIS
rawtherapee [image-file]
DESCRIPTION
RawTherapee is used to adjust some of the most often changed parameters
when optimizing digital images. A normal user often just wants to
adjust the white balance or brightness of a photo he took. Instead of
using a big and expensive image editor you could use a small and fast
(specialized) tool like RawTherapee.
More and more cameras also support RAW formats. RAW files usually offer
higher color depth than JPGs (JPG is limited to 8 Bit per color). So
the adjustments are done with the high color depth and then afterwards
converted to or saved as JPGs. RawTherapee supports JPG (8 bit), PNG
(8 or 16 bit) and TIFF (8 or 16 bit). All image processing is done in
16 bit/channel mode.
Different to other RAW converters it can use EAHD as demosaicing
algorithm. The raw loading engine of RawTherapee is based on dcraw.
