I’ve tried to edit the camconst.json file but it is missing altogether.
I’ve downloaded the latest version of RT from the main website, navigated to ~/Library/Application Support/RawTherapee/config/ but there is no camconst file there. I only see an “options” file and “profiles” folder, which is empty. I have all hidden files enabled to show up.
Why would this be? Is there a copy of camconst that I can just copy into the config folder?
On a Linux box, after a fresh install, there’s no camconst.json in the user’s configuration directory. There is one in RawTherapee’s global installation directory.
You should copy that one to your user configuration directory (~/Library/Application Support/RawTherapee/config/) and edit that one. If you edit the global one all changes will be lost when you update!
This from the camconst.json file:
All changes made here will be lost on software update. If you want to add custom values or change existing ones, create a “camconst.json” file next to your personal “options” file. Its values will then override and/or complete the ones of this file.
I’m not a Mac user, so I have no idea where RawTherapee is installed (could be /opt or /Applications). Do a global search for this camconst file if it isn’t in either of those two.
