RawTherapee 5.8 Released

They might be grumpy, but I agree with one point - why not start a new RT install with all tools in the closed state? When they are all open it is just overwhelming, especially for a new person. Whenever I have a new installation I have to do click-click-click-… to close all the tools and have a nice sane view.

Yeah, I just tried 5.8 with capture sharpening. Just when I thought RT couldn’t get any better, it did. The auto radius is very smart and means that I don’t have to tune it like I did with RL deconvolution. Also, from the being in linear colorspace, I noticed less brightening of noise, as well as the contrast threshold slider being better tuned to the noise threshold across the tonal range. Before, you had to optimize for the shadows, midtones OR highlights, and now, sweet sweet perfection.

Pro tip: right-click on one tool and all others will be closed.

Plus: Preferences > Save tool state (open, closed) on exit or now.

However, I agree that all tools should be collapsed on a fresh install.

@floessie several months back, I spent a few hours looking for the correct place… Thanks!

@floessie tested and +1 for commit.

Would be good if sub-tools were collapsed by default as well (e.g. wavelets).

I was able to successfully install multiple versions of RT installed on a Windows. (Its actually a bit annoying when I upgrade, I have to go back and uninstall the old version to reclaim the HD space)

What does “not installing” mean? What were the signs and symptoms?
