Hello to my dear RawTherapee Developers and photographic community!
My first post has to start in saying that, looking back 25 years of photography experience back from the days of analogue slide film, how happy I am with the usability and vast options of Raw Therapee free software. On each and every of your gravestones in the far far futures will be a colourful cloud of karma protecting you and inspiring us to make nice little pieces of art in the world.
I will now start with my first question, I use an XPro3 (pretty new firmware v1.2) in normal settings with full native X-trans sensor resolution the RAW (.RAF) files have a small black border on one side. The border is about a 100 pixels orso wide. All raw (RAF) files are affected without exception. I do Not have this problem with my Canon RAW files.
Some more info:
The JPG produced in camera are 6240 x 4160, while RawTherapee sees 6262 x 4126 pixels in the raw RAF files.
A landscape oriented picture has the black border on the right.
A portrait oriented photo has the black border on the top.
Any chance this can be fixed in the next version of Raw Therapee?
Maybe I could upload sample RAF files here for you to inspect this problem?
Are the black bars only fixed in 5.8.XXX and but not in 5.8.000 ?
In other words: What is wrong with version 5.8?
(I only very recently downloaded it so I think I already have the newest version?)
How/where can I check the exact precise version nr of my current RawTherapee?
How/where van I see the exact (5.8.0XXXXX) version of my current RT program?
Is there an in program update button or should I just download the newest version and install it over the previous version? (I don’t want to lose my program settings).
You mention being on windows, I’m not but this page shows how you can get more detailed info about your CPU when running Windows 10: How to See What CPU Is In Your PC
The number shown (i7-4790 in the first image of that How to see… page) is the info you want. Search for that number on this Intel i7 Wiki site List of Intel Core i7 processors to get the codename (that would be Haswell for the 4790 example). Link the found name with one of the available RawTherapee downloads.
If yours isn’t available or if this is too much of a hassle you can always choose the generic version, which should run fine on a Windows machine. The others are fine-tuned towards a specific Intel line/processor and might be a bit faster/efficient.
I have exactly the same problem with .raf files from my X-S10 v.2.10. Used RawTherapee_dev_5.8-3058-gbffc8c11d_W64_generic_211203, because not exist special version for my Intel 8550.
Problem resolved - black border on right side vanished.
