I downloaded RawTherapee yesterday and this 4+ minute video is exactly what I needed to get started! THANK YOU!

[J-A-C-K-O]

That intro gets a sub! 🤣👏 Didn't see it coming!

[qsd]

Very well explained at each step. Thank you

Great tutorial. I am new to Raw Therapee but I wasn't satisfied with the 'sharpen only edges' option. It certainly did sharpen the edges very nicely. But it also made after areas in the image soft and mushy. Quite a lot of detail was lost.

Well Done! Clear and concise, thank you so much, this video quickly gave me what I needed to understand how to use the basic tools. After seeing how drab my RAW photos looked initially in Rawtherapee, I was thrilled to be able to use the same tools you demonstrated, and in a few minutes produce a JPG that was much better than even the out-of-camera JPG.

Excellent video, just what I needed as a RawTherapee novice. Thank you for sharing.

That's cool, I like seeing how others work in RT.

Great tutorial. Very good of you to use the reverb from the huge hall in the building you photographed 😃

...THANKs ...where can i find great Presets/Profiles for improving my pictures (with a little sharpening, color improvment, light etc.) ...i am not a PRO, but i also want to improve Family pictures a little. Not picture by picture, but a whole folder!

Great video. Amazing what you can achieve in only 4 minutes. Have a like.

LOL - don't try "correcting" curved lines on your Parthenon shots - there's nary a straight line anywhere on that monumental edifice. The Greeks were so advanced, they understood how we actually don't often see straight lines at all, any more than a fisheye lens does. Every lens including our eyes', will produce a curve from a straight line unless the line intersects precisely in the center of the image/planar tangent to the lens. Such applied "corrections" to images are useful to architectural renderings and such, but presuming this is a necessary procedure for every image is a mistake.

Why I can't adjust the final photo dimension... It is automatically saved his desired dimension... can you guide me? How can I set it to manual adjust of dimension

[tacman]

Thanks -- can you make the raw image available for download, so that we can follow along with the tutorial?

How to compare what we are doing with the original image? How can I toggle between my editing and the original RAW image? No tutorial is saying this.
