RawTherapee 5.5 is one week away

A bit of an update. It turns out the file does open, i just didn’t wait long enough. But the console opens a few seconds before the actual app opens. Closing the console closes the app as well.

Update 2. It appears to be a debug console.

  • Rawtherapee console (@Carmelo_DrRaw and @gaaned92 builds)
    If you use context menu either open with or open with rawtherapee, a rawtherapee console opens.(I don’t know why)
    In the former case, you don’t have an edit console. As it is slow and you have to reopen RT for each image, I should prefer the second way.
    If you use Browse with rawtherapee there is no console.

  • GTK warnings
    I cannot reproduce here on W10 with both builds.

I will have a look now

The console was open in the background, so I do not know exactly what I did to trigger the warnings.
Some stuff I remember doing (not necessarily in order)

  • I looked around the settings to try to figure out how to set default demosaic to 3 pass + fast (still working on how to do this :thinking:)
  • I mapped to the HaldCLut folder
  • I mapped to the film sim folder
  • I edited a .RAF and saved jpg
  • Copied the processing parameters to a couple of other .RAFs
  • Fine tuned other .RAFs and saved as jpgs

I hope this helps

@chaimav film sim folder and HaldClut folder are the same right ? (sorry out of context) just making sure I didn’t miss out on a new feature to emulate films other than hald cluts

It’s the Film Simulation tool which uses the HaldCLUT directory

Create a pp3 which does that and set it as your default pp3 in preferences dialog

Yes. Sorry about that. I was rambling on and didn’t realize I typed the same thing twice :flushed:

Thanks. Although this does not seem like the most intuitive method. Are there any thoughts of making it a standard option in the settings dialog?

@chaimav Yet another button might not be helpful either, since RT’s interface is cluttered with goodies as it is…

@chaimav what would be more intuitive? From my perspective, that is the most intuitive.

I figured that demosaicing is something done on virtually every image I touch with RT and it it generally not something I generally fiddle with on a per image basis. Also there was an ‘out of the box’ default setting.

To me, my first place to look was to go digging around the preferences dialog for a dropdown to set a default.

P.S. out of curiosity, what would happen if I set my default pp3 on an X-Trans image but then try to edit a Bayer one?

It’s up to the RawTherapee xtrans users to vote :wink: I don’t own an xtrans cam, I just coded…

The xtrans specific settings won’t be used for bayer sensors and vice versa

If 3 pass + fast lives up to its promises (which in my very limited testing it does) , my vote is to set it as the ‘out of the box’ default.

Demosaicing is something done on all raw images, as are many other things. All of those things constitute the processing parameters stored in a PP3 file. As such, editing the “default processing profile for raw photos” is how one modifies what happens by default when opening a raw file.
