RawTherapee For Mac

Most photographers prefer to shoot in RAW mode while using DSLR cameras because the output files are uncompressed and unprocessed so that they can take advantage of all the available information captured by the camera's sensors during post-processing.

An interesting proposition regarding the processing of RAW files is represented by the RawTherapee app: a complex and yet easy to use software solution designed to help you convert, edit and process images, and take advantage of the power of the RAW file format.

When first starting the RawTherapee app, the fact that it has been designed with performance in mind becomes obvious: its interface is straightforward and well-organized, with all the buttons and panels at your fingertips.

As an added benefit, RawTherapee comes with multi-threaded algorithms for high-performance usage that utilizes your processor’s SSE feature.

RawTherapee provides all the usual features one should expect from a photo editor, such as: drag and drop support, quick load for thumbnails, real-time thumbnail visualization, the possibility to copy/paste the parameters from one file to the next, to batch convert multiple images at the same time, and more.

Another handy feature is the fact that you have the possibility to edit multiple images in parallel with the help of separate editor tabs, or by using a secondary display.

Worth-mentioning is that RawTherapee will get the best image quality from your RAW files by using a modern 96-bit processing engine.

RawTherapee helps you to  efficiently edit your photos by enabling you to: change the white balance, adjust the curves and color toning, set the exposure, remove noise from your images, enhance detail, modify the contrast, add vignettes, and more.

RawTherapee also offers support for almost all modern DSLRs and some medium format cameras: you can load into the app 16-, 24-, 32-bit RAW files, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and even HDR images.

Taking all things into consideration, RawTherapee is a full-featured application that enables users to customize their RAW files to any degree by offering almost all the benefits of other payed apps on the market, while remaining available for free.
