RAWTHERAPEE 5.7 RELEASE NOTES
|
|
|
|
This is RawTherapee 5.7, released on 2019-09-10.
|
|
|
|
Start by reading the "Getting Started" article on RawPedia:

NEWS RELEVANT TO PHOTOGRAPHERS
|
|
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
New features since 5.6:
|
|
- Film Negative tool, for easily developing raw photographs of film negatives.
|
|
- Support for reading "rating" tags from Exif and XMP, shown in the File Browser/Filmstrip using RawTherapee's star rating system.
|
|
- Hundreds of bug fixes, speed optimizations and raw format support improvements.

NEWS RELEVANT TO PACKAGE MAINTAINERS
|
|
|
|
New since 5.6:
|
|
- Requires CMake >=3.5.
|
|
|
|
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"
