I recently downloaded RT version 4.2.1 from the official Raw Therapee site.
Now that I have it loaded into my system, R/T refuses to stay open/on-screen for more than the briefest second; I click “open”, the R/T window appears for a split second, and then it vanishes/closes.
I have tried uninstall/reinstall; I have completely uninstalled and started all over; I have restarted the computer several times; all with the same result — R/T just will not remain open.
Yikes. Did it ever load on for you, or has it always been this way? I know there was an issue with the cluts directory once upon a time, but it may have been fixed since…
@BuckSkin Hi and welcome!
It is easier to have just one version installed at a time.
You only use the debug version until it crashes and you have some data to send to the developers.
RT 4.2.1 is very old. I would start by downloading RT 4.2.1005 fast version. If it misbehaves as well, then I would download RT 4.2.1005 debug version and follow the instructions given by paperdigits (above).
I did not see a 4.2.1005 version when using the official site sort filter, specifying my specifics until the field narrowed down.
I will look through the whole list without using the filter and see if I can find it.
Since my last post, I completely removed RT, every file and all, and started over fresh.
I thought downloading it during “off peak” (2:AM to 8:AM), when Dish gives me faster internet speed, might be the cure; but, alas, it works no better.
Funny thing is, at the same time, I installed it in our other computer, Win 7 Pro brand-new, and it works fine; that computer has an entirely empty picture gallery and is a performance racehorse, so that may very well have played a part.
Where can I find the minimum system requirements for RT; it may just be that this computer isn’t up to the task; it is a desktop and works fine with other photo programs.
Don’t use 4.2.1 as its very old, use the latest development version. We are releasing RT5 soon and the latest development versions are a precursor to that.
Thanks so much; I am so glad that I brought my questions here.
I will definitely remove 4.2.1 from the other machine and install 4.2.1005 on it as well.
After looking the empty RT window over, with all the various controls that look like Ukranian to me, I am sure this is only the beginning of my questions.
There are a lot of knobs! Have you used any other photo adjustment programs? Are you familiar with the basics of editing a photograph, such as exposure, contrast, and sharpening? We’ll help you take it one tool at s time.
