RawTherapee is a powerful photo editor designed to handle high-quality RAW-formatted photographs, which are often incompatible with standard image editors. This versatile tool supports a wide range of DSLR camera formats like NEF and DNG, as well as common formats such as JPG and TIFF. Reminiscent of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom in both appearance and functionality, RawTherapee may apply effects slowly, but the results are highly satisfying. The program offers essential photo processing tools, including adjustments for brilliance, contrast, levels, colors, sharpness, and noise. Additional features include cropping, resizing, change history, and photo metadata management. User-friendly, RawTherapee allows you to easily navigate your file explorer, view images, and utilize its scoring and classification system. With RawTherapee, you can enhance underexposed photos, smooth skin in portraits, correct colors, and remove blemishes, among other capabilities. This makes it an excellent choice for both amateur and professional photographers seeking comprehensive photo editing solutions.
