Hi. You people mostly talk about Photoshop or Lightroom or lately about GIMP. What about "Raw Therapee" it is also a free program and seams to work nice for Jpeg's and Raw's. I am just trying to start and work with it so any tips will be more than wellcome

Welcome to our forum!
I've never heard of that program, but the price sounds good.
A lot of people in Europe use it. I have seen it being used and it seems to be very thorough and efficient.
Personally, I have never used it.
Has its use. Tried it, did not like it, I use PS which is way more complete.
Price is right: Free.
I have it on one of my netbooks that doesn't have the horsepower to run PhotoShop CS6.
Yes, the price is right, free and it does a fair job although very limited. I seriously would consider other options for a main RAW/JPEG editing package.
Rawtherapee is better than it looks. Especially the later versions. It does some very interesting and sophisticated things under the hood. Don't write it off.
Thanks. I would appreciate very much if you could give me a few tips of what and how to do. May be an Internet site where I can find a reasonable user manual because I couldn't find one yetץ Thanks again
Raw Therapee has some of the challenges you might expect from freeware. I had a DNG image that wouldn't open with my other software. I tried Raw Therapee. Not only would it not open the file, it hung up and crashed my laptop. And now, any time I try to start Raw Therapee, it looks for that same image and crashes again.
Does anybody know where Raw Therapee stores most recent image data so I can delete it?
Too bad Rawtherappe is not available for Apple. I would at least try it.
Thank you Dan821. I will give it a try.

You're welcome! Scroll down the page and you will see where it is ported for OS 10.7
There is a bit of a learning curve for the program, but as pointed out above the price is right!
I like RAW Therapee. I take my RAW photos into it and preprocess and save as a 16 bit tif. Then go to Paintshop Pro X6 with the tif and finish up the process. I find that reduces the chances of sky halo and I can get much more out of my image with Topaz and Redfield plugins before pixelation or halo problems occur. I would recommend RAW Therapee.
