In the navigation tabs at the top, it is called the “Batch Queue.” After making all your edits on a picture and adding the image to the processing que, you can go to the Batch Queue, set the folder location and file format you want to save it in, and click “Start Processing.”Ĭongratulations! You now know the basics of how to use RawTherapee! 🙂įor a detailed tutorial that is extremely easy to understand, click here. The final function of RawTherapee that we’ll discuss today is the processing queue. Most likely, it will take a little bit of work and experimentation for you to grasp how to use these two sliders, and the colors which they adjust. Then, if I’m not pleased with the automatic method, I will adjust the ‘temperature’ and ‘tint’ sliders to get the final white balance. Sometimes this method works better than other times. To set the white balance, I typically set the white balance method to auto.
I had not set the white balance for that photograph yet. As you probably have noticed, the color on the image above is pretty bad! That is because when you photograph in RAW, you decide the white balance of the photograph, not the camera. Here we can edit the overall color of the image. Now we will move on to the color tab (On the image above, it will be found on the ‘image options – navigation’).
Also, the Saturation slider adjusts how much color is in the photograph. This is one of my favorite ways to increase contrast. The black slider, increases the amount of black in the photograph. Comp., Brightness, and the Contrast sliders, I would be careful how much you adjust, as adjusting these to far, will cause increased noise (graininess) and reduced image quality. Again, most of the tools are self-explanatory, but I’ll explain two of the exposure options for those who have not done much image editing. If you double left-click on an image in the “File Browser,” it will open the image, for further editing. Try it! Also, for the white balance, check out this article. This tool will rotate and crop the image, so that line is portrayed as straight. After you have the image mostly rotated, you can select the straight line rotation tool, and drag along a straight line, like your horizon. However, I’ll explain the straight line rotation. Keep in mind, as with all of the images in this tutorial, you can hold down the control key (Ctrl) on your keyboard, and left-click with your mouse on the image, which will enable you to view the image larger. Below is a screenshot of the file browser on RawTherapee with a couple titles. However, RawTherapee has quite a few tools, to do the basic editing. I prefer to do the in depth editing with GIMP. Please keep in mind, the photograph is another’s property, and is to be used only for practicing your skills in RawTherapee (as licensed from the photographer).įirst of all, RawTherapee’s primary purpose is to convert from RAW to other formats. At the very bottom of this post, is the link to a Raw file.
#RAWTHERAPEE VS GIMP INSTALL#
I would suggest you do this, install it, and experiment with RawTherapee as you go through this tutorial.
#RAWTHERAPEE VS GIMP DOWNLOAD#
You can download RawTherapee from their website, at. Today, we will be learning how to use the best free RAW editor for Windows (I prefer Raw Darktable on Mac and Linux), which is RawTherapee. Those who prefer optimal control over their photographs, will photograph using RAW formats, instead of JPEG.
