RAWTHERAPEE 5.9-dev RELEASE NOTES This is a development version of RawTherapee. We update the code almost daily. Every few months, once enough changes have accumulated and the code is stabilized, we make a new official release. Every code change between these releases is known as a "development" version, and this is one of them. IN GENERAL Start by reading the "Getting Started" article on RawPedia: https://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/ RawTherapee supports most raw formats, including Pentax and Sony Pixel Shift, Canon Dual-Pixel, and those from Foveon and X-Trans sensors. If you're wondering whether it supports your camera's raw format, first download RawTherapee and try for yourself. If a raw format is not supported it will either not open, or the preview in the Editor tab will appear black, white, or have a strong color cast - usually magenta. In that case, read the "Adding Support for New Raw Formats" RawPedia article. In order to use RawTherapee efficiently you should know that: - You can scroll all panels using the mouse scroll-wheel. - You can right-click on a tool's name to automatically expand it while collapsing all others. - To change slider values or drop-down list items with the mouse scroll-wheel, hold the Shift key. This is so that you can safely scroll the panels without accidentally changing a slider or other tool setting. - All curves support the Shift and Ctrl keys while dragging a point. Shift+drag makes the point snap to a meaningful axis (top, bottom, diagonal, other), while Ctrl+drag makes your mouse movement super-fine for precise point positioning. - There are many keyboard shortcuts which make working with RawTherapee much faster and give you greater control. Make sure you familiarize yourself with them on RawPedia's "Keyboard Shortcuts" page! - All sliders support a fine-tuning mode which you can toggle by pressing the Shift key while dragging a slider. NEW FEATURES SINCE 5.9 - TODO - Added or improved support for cameras, raw formats and color profiles: - TODO NEWS RELEVANT TO PACKAGE MAINTAINERS New since 5.9: - TODO In general: - To get the source code, either clone from git or use the tarball from https://rawtherapee.com/shared/source/ . Do not use the auto-generated GitHub release tarballs. - Requires GTK+ version >=3.16, though >=3.22.24 is recommended. - GTK+ versions 3.24.2 - 3.24.6 have an issue where combobox menu scroll-arrows are missing when the combobox list does not fit vertically on the screen. As a result, users would not be able to scroll in the following comboboxes: Processing Profiles, Film Simulation, and the camera and lens profiles in Profiled Lens Correction. - RawTherapee 5 requires GCC-4.9 or higher, or Clang. - Do not use -ffast-math, it will not make RawTherapee faster but will introduce artifacts. - Use -O3, it will make RawTherapee faster with no known side-effects. - For stable releases use -DCACHE_NAME_SUFFIX="" - For development builds and release-candidates use -DCACHE_NAME_SUFFIX="5-dev" NEWS RELEVANT TO DEVELOPERS See CONTRIBUTING.md DOCUMENTATION https://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/ REPORTING BUGS If you found a problem, don't keep it to yourself.
