Open Source Photography App ’RawTherapee’ Gets Big Update (UPDATED)
Xmas has come early for open-source photography enthusiasts as a brand-new version of Rawtherapee – the first update in two years — is now available to download.
RawTherapee 5.9 introduces a new Spot Removal tool, ideal for removing dust specks and small imperfections from images, a new Local Adjustments tool, and a new Perspective Correction tool that includes a handy automated perceptive correction option.
Alongside a new automatic white balance method in the White Balance tool there’s a new Preprocess White Balance tool (in the ‘Raw’ tab). This lets you specify if channels should be balanced automatically or if a white balance value recorded by the camera should be used instead.
