.TH RAWTHERAPEE 1 "June 14, 2012"
.SH NAME
rawtherapee \- Free RAW converter and digital photo processing software
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBrawtherapee\fP [directory|image\-file]
.br
\fBrawtherapee\fP [\-o|\-O <output>] [\-s|\-S] [\-p <file>] [\-d] 
[\-j<1\-100>|\-t|\-t1|\-n] [\-Y] \-c <input>
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBRawTherapee\fP is used to adjust some of the most often changed parameters
when optimizing digital images. A normal user often just wants to adjust the
white balance or brightness of a photo he took. Instead of using a big and
expensive image editor you could use a small and fast (specialized) tool like
\fBRawTherapee\fP.
.br
More and more cameras also support RAW formats. RAW files usually offer higher
color depth than JPGs (JPG is limited to 8 Bit per color). So the adjustments are
done with the high color depth and then afterwards converted to or saved as JPGs.
RawTherapee supports JPG (8 bit), PNG (8 or 16 bit) and TIFF (8 or 16 bit). All
image processing is done in 16 bit/channel mode.
.br
Different to other RAW converters it can use EAHD as demosaicing algorithm. The
RAW loading engine of \fBRawTherapee\fP is based on dcraw.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\-o <outputFile>|<outputDir>
select output directory
.TP
\-O <outputFile>|<outputDir>
 select output dir and copy pp3 file into it
.TP
\-s
include the pp3 file next to the input file (with same name) to build the image's
parameters, eg: for IMG001.NEF there should be IMG001.NEF.pp3 in the same dir if
absent use default
.TP
\-S
like \-s but skip if pp3 file not found
.TP
\-p
specify pp3 file to be used for all conversions. You can specify as many \-p
options as you like (see note below)
.TP
\-d
use the default RAW or Image pp3 file to build the image's parameters
.TP
\-j<1\-100>
specify output to be jpeg (default)
.TP
\-t
 specify output to be uncompressed tiff
.TP
\-t1
specify output to be compressed tiff.
.TP
\-n
specify output to be png.
.TP
\-Y
overwrite output if present.

.P
.B Note:
.br
Your pp3 files can be incomplete, \fBRawTherapee\fP will set the values like that:
the pp3 file is built with internal default values; then overridden by those
found in the default RAW or Image pp3 file (if \-d has been set); then overridden
by those found in the pp3 files provided by \-p, each one overriding the previous
values; then overridden by the sidecar file if \-s is set and if the file exists;
the time where the sidecar file is used depend of the position of the \-s switch
in the command line regarding to the \-p parameters
(e.g. "\-p first.pp3 \-p second.pp3 -s \-p fourth.pp3").
