Thanks, Marc. I have installed RT on the laptop that goes with us on holidays. I have managed to proces a few RAW’s into the JPG’s I wanted; but it has not grown on me yet.. 🙂 The viewer-wit-a-little-more I use is Irfanview for Windows. https://www.irfanview.com/

Just to throw another software into the mix…FastStone viewer for windows is a free, donation requested, image viewer and simple manager. The program is Windows which fills a need on that platform. I use it for initial image viewing and culling. Has some basic edit functions. Some Windows users may need to also download an image codex for the Microsoft store, it’s a no brainer. The program is lightning fast.

Thanks, Barrie! A new program always seems complicated at first and can feel overwhelming, but you’ll get the hang of it much faster than you think. Later, you’ll probably wonder why you ever worried in the first place!

Well Mark, I tried it about two years ago, and sure, there are some advantages. But my main reason for sticking with RT is the large community behind it. If you run into problems or just have questions, that makes a huge difference—more people use it, and development is more active.

I rely heavily on RawTherapee, so for me, it’s the better choice. That said, if I weren’t already so familiar with it, testing out another version would definitely be worth considering.

i use Darktable a lot. Last time I looked at raw therapy I was overwhelmed!

i hear a lot of good things about it’s fork, ART but to use ART you need to know rawtherapy. So I will follow your tutorials so I can get a better understanding of both.

thanks

I really want to give RawTherapee another go, but I’m thinking of using the ART fork version as they have added a lot of additional functionality to it. Is that something you have tried Marc?
