New in RawTherapee Portable 5.8 (Mar 26, 2020)

  • New Features:
  • Automatically recover detail lost to lens blur (diffraction) using the new Capture Sharpening tool, located in the “Raw” tab. It takes place right after demosaicing, and as it works in linear space it is not prone to haloing. Capture Sharpening in combination with Post-Resize Sharpening allows for detailed and crisp results.
  • CR3 support: image data is decoded so you can process your raw files, but metadata is not supported yet. If you have an ICC or DCP input profile for your CR3-producing camera, you will need to point RawTherapee to it manually (Color tab > Color Management > Input Profile > Custom).
  • Improvements of various camera models (new DCP dual-illuminant input profiles, raw crops, white levels, etc.), speedups and optimizations to various tools, better memory management, various bug fixes. See the git log for details.

New in RawTherapee Portable 5.3 (Nov 28, 2017)

  • New Features since 5.2:
  • CIECAM02 enhanced with control over the scene and viewing conditions.

  • Manually save the collapsed/expanded state of tools.
  • Lensfun support, for automatic (and manual) profiled lens correction.
  • ACES, DCI-P3 Theater and DCI-P3 D65 output color profiles.
  • Numerous speed optimizations and bug fixes.
  • News Relevant to Package Maintainers:
  • Changes since 5.2:
  • Lensfun is required. To use the system-wide lensfun database, do not set the CMake option -DLENSFUNDBDIR. To use a custom lensfun database, set -DLENSFUNDBDIR="path/to/database". See the compilation instructions in RawPedia for more information.

New in RawTherapee Portable 5.1 (Jun 9, 2017)

  • New Features:
  • Pentax Pixel Shift support, to automatically combine sub-images from a Pentax Pixel Shift raw file into one high quality image, with support for automatic motion detection and masking.
