RawTherapee is a cross platform image processing software equipped with the essential tools for high quality and efficient RAW photo development.
Give Raw Therapee a try to fully assess its capabilities!

· Selectable high performance demosaicing algorithms (EAHD and HPHD and VNG-4).
· Using DCRaw 8.82/1.398 for decoding RAW images
· Image post processing in 16 bit / channel mode
· Exposure control in RGB space
· Auto exposure with adjustable clipping point / Exposure compensation / Shadow and highight compression / Contrast adjustment, curve editor
· White balance adjustment in RGB space
· With in-camera, automatic and spot white balance options / Temperature/Green tint fine tuning
· Highlight Recovery
· Shadows/Highlights control in RGB space
· Basic Luminance curve tool to modify the luminance channel in CIELab color space
· Brightness / Contrast adjustment, curve editor
· USM sharpening applied on the CIELab luminance channel
· Classical USM parameters (Radius, Amount, Threshold) / Option to avoid noise amplification / Sharpening halo control
· Optional RL Deconvolution based sharpening for even better sharpening results
· Color shift control in CIELab color space
· Allows color shift by shifting the CIELab "a" and "b" channels
· Color booster applied on the CIELab "a" and "b" channels
· Amplifies color channels "a" and "b" together or separately / Avoids color overamplification in high chrominance areas / Option to avoid clipping caused by too high color boosting
· Luminance denoising algorithm applied on the CIELab luminance channel
· Edge sensitive method to preserve as much details as possible
· Color denoising tool applied on the CIELab "a" and "b" channels
· Classical gaussian blur or edge sensitive bluring of the color channels
· Fast switching between different postprocessing profiles
· Image flipping horizontally or vertically, rotation by 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise
· Arbitrary image rotation (straightening tool)
· with fill function or automatic crop
· Simple lens distortion correction
· Crop tool
· Chromatic Aberration correction tool
· Channel Mixer for Red, Green and Blue channels
· C/A Correction
· Vignetting Correction
· ICC based color management
· Change History with bookmarks to support before/after checking
· Supported file formats: JPEG (8 bit), PNG (8 or 16 bit), TIFF (8 or 16 bit)
· Image ouput size could be set
· EXIF data is preserved in JPEG output (except crw files)
· Output directory and automatic file naming highly customizable
· File browsing with thumbnails
· Localization supported (utf8 language file).

Requirements:
· a fast processor with SSE support is recommended (but not required)
· at least 512 MB of RAM.
· Minimum recommended screen resolution 1024x768

What's New in This Release:
· multi-tab interface
· the real batch processing support arrived: select multiple images and adjust them together (the multi-adjust behavior of some parameters is selectable in the preferences dialog: they can be either additive or absolute)
· completely re-written editor: preview and detail view are now gone. The main image view can be magnified as required, and only the necessary part of the image will be re-calculated. There is a small navigator, too, and infinitely many detailed views can be opened to investigate fine details.
· 16 bit thumbnails (an option, takes double disk space)
· before/after view in the editor
· the behavior of the exposure controls changed. The "exposure" parameter is what was called "brightness" in previous versions. The "brightness" parameter is now a real brightness control, that shifts the histogram (of course with highlight/shadow protection)
