Spring is here (or autumn, for those on the other side of the planet), and it’s a fantastic time to capture nature in its fresh, luminescent-green light (or that intense, golden-red autumn light!), and how better to develop your raw photos than with RawTherapee 4.1-stable!

YES! It’s been a long journey since the last version we officially called stable, version 3.1. A few years have passed, many new tools and features have been added, a million little bugs were squashed, and now it has arrived!

Be sure to read RawPedia to understand how each tool works to make the most of it.

In order to use RawTherapee efficiently you should know that:

  • You can scroll all panels using the mouse scroll-wheel.
  • To change slider values or drop-down list items with the mouse scroll-wheel, hold the Shift key. This is so that you can safely scroll the panels without accidentally changing a slider or other tool setting.
  • All curves support the Shift and Ctrl keys while dragging a point. Shift+drag makes the point snap to meaningful axes (top, bottom, diagonal, other), while Ctrl+drag makes your mouse movement super-fine for precise point positioning.
  • There are many keyboard shortcuts which make working with RawTherapee much faster and give you greater control, make sure you familiarize yourself with them on RawPedia’s Keyboard Shortcuts page!
