RawTherapee is a powerful, cross-platform raw photo processing application targeted at enthusiast and semi-professional photographers who want deep control over image development. It’s written primarily in C++ with a GTK+ front-end, providing a high-precision 32-bit floating-point processing engine along with multiple demosaicing algorithms and advanced color-management features. The program supports a very wide range of camera raw formats (via a patched version of dcraw) as well as non-raw formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and PNG. Users can work non-destructively: adjustments are previewed but stored separately (sidecar files) and only applied during export, which allows experimentation without altering originals. The interface includes a file browser, processing queue, editing pane with full-image previews, history stack, and batch export functionality.
Features
- Support for numerous raw camera formats plus JPEG, TIFF and PNG
- Multiple demosaicing algorithms (such as AMaZE, IGV, LMMSE, etc) giving users fine-control over interpolation
- Full 32-bit floating-point internal processing pipeline for high-precision image development
- Non-destructive editing with sidecar files and full history stack allowing snapshots and reversal
- Advanced color management: ICC/DCP profiles, wide-gamut previews, soft-proofing, color-toning controls
- Batch processing and export queue, enabling processing of multiple images while editing others
