RAWTHERAPEE 5.4-RC1 RELEASE NOTES
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
This is RawTherapee 5.4 Release Candidate 1, released on 2017-09-25.
|
|
|
|
Start by reading the "Getting Started" article on RawPedia:
|
|

News Relevant to Photographers
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
RawTherapee supports most raw formats, including Pentax 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!

|
|
- Do not use -ffast-math, it will not make RawTherapee faster but will introduce artifacts.

News Relevant to Developers
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
- Announce and discuss your plans in GitHub before starting work.
|
|
- Keep branches small so that completed and working features can be merged into the "dev" branch often, and so that they can be abandoned if they head in the wrong direction.
|
|
- Use C++11.
