It is not intuitive as other softwares and its hard to use for the first time users as they need do first learn how to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I said, it does not cost you a cent and its capabilities are very similar to other photo editing software.

It was my main raw converter for a few years: now I use DxO Optics Pro, for its excellent optical corrections, but I've not found anything that beats RawTherapee in its rendering of fine tonality.

One advantage of RawTherapee is that uses unbounded, high-precision arithmetic in its pipeline; this avoids clipping and allows for better tonality of highly manipulated images. It also has a nice toolset, and I especially like the CIECAM02 adjustments. All of this is at the disadvantage of being exceptionally slow, but images can be processed in batch after editing, so this ins't as much of a disadvantage as it may seem.

Recently I learned that it's possible to use Adobe's lens profiles in RawTherapee, and I'll have to try that out. Additionally, Raw Therapee is an open-source program that allows users to process RAW image files for free. It features advanced color handling, histogram matching, high dynamic range (HDR) tone mapping, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main issue with RawTherapee is that it seems that the effects of most if not all of the adjustments can only be seen at a 100% view. I realize that it's wise to zoom in at 100% to see the real effect of whatever adjustment that you've applied, but I also like to see what everything looks like when I have the image filling up the screen.

I am intrigued by the features it has to edit the images. I make sure that all of my photos are well presented and shows sharp details. It is best for anyone who need to edit their pictures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only factor that it lags in is its difficulty level. It is not usable until you know the proper functionality of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I use it for my personal use, I am very impressed by the functions and options it has. My pictures turn out to be great and perfect after the editing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a great critique of its structure as I do not like it much. Initially, it is not easy to use, but once you get to do it, you start knowing its working well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The advantages of shooting with our cameras in RAW format on the JPG are numerous. Mainly it will allow us to have more information to obtain a higher quality image, correct problems of overexposure, white balance and color, which otherwise would be more complicated or almost impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As negative aspects, for the time being, there is still a lack of many tutorials that we can consult, which can be a problem if you are starting in the world of digital development, or you are used to the terminology used by Adobe programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First and foremost, RawTherapee is free and open source. It's available for Mac, Linux, and Windows, which makes it extremely versatile. It's super useful to have a processing interface that supports both standard DSLR files (Pentax Pixel Shift, Canon Dual-Pixel, etc), and non-raw formats like JPEG and TIFF. As far as actually ease of use, the editor tab is well laid out and no problem to navigate through. I particularly like inclusion of distortion correction and tone mapping tools.

The program gives you the freedom to process a wide range of filetypes, and you can preview changes immediately, but they are not actually applied until the photos are exported. It would be useful in my workflow to have the option to make permanent edits without having to export the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
