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?

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.
