RawTherapee Portable

RawTherapee Portable is a powerful solution for individuals looking to process RAW images. If you are ready to unload your digital camera and develop your photographs, this application can help you. RawTherapee is equipped with a non-destructive, 32-bit processing engine, and modern demosaicing (mosaic effect removing) algorithms and provides a wide-range of functions for getting the best quality images out of your raw files.

While it's not a very complicated tool to work with, the feature-rich interface will require you to invest some time in studying it. The benefits for patients should pay off when it comes to getting around the app. You'll notice there are multiple layouts separated by small, marginal buttons. However, there are three main categories that are better to be identified from the beginning. These are Editor, File Browser, and Queue, and they are located on the left sidebar.

The Editor is the core of the app. From there, you'll process your RAW files, which are going to be neatly positioned atop a space preview pane. Once you lock into a photo, the right segment of the UI will make available a plethora of options. Adjust the exposure, play around with shadows and highlights, determine the tone mapping and dynamic range compression, and apply vignette or graduated filters.

When you are done editing, click the Start Processing button. You can then export your items to common formats like PNG, JPG and TIF, etc.

RawTherapee Portable is a handy tool to have around if you are trying to process the RAW files generated by digital cameras. It offers lots of editing options and lets you export images to more accessible formats. On top of that, the app is portable, making it a good choice for users with flexibility in mind.
