Test of RawTherapee on MacOS 10.14-15, 11, 12β Mojave-Catalina-Big Sur-Monterey (intel code)

Hmmm, I will have a look as I am getting a new build environment running.

Thanks @HIRAM , much appreciated!

This latest build doesn’t exhibit the slider-button non-grabbage issue in Monterey.


Also note that your contribution is optional and useful, as Apples don’t exactly fall off trees.

For those following along, https://kd6kxr.keybase.pub/RawTherapee_macOS_10.14_x86_64_5.8-3046-g5268b94cf.zip
the new build has the RgbDenoiseThreads defaulting to 2 instead of 0 to fix a crash occurring in RGB luminance denoise.
To do this I have updated the options keyfile. That means, to have the new default behavior, delete your '~/Library/Application Support/RawTherapee' or if Big Sur+, the ~/Library/Containers/RawTherapee folder before first launch.

Thanks to all who have been working on the dev builds prior to the 5.9 release. I am really excited by the possibilities presented by the local adjustments tab.

I have downloaded the most recent build referenced by Hiram (the one ending in 94cf) and found it to be very unstable with frequent crashes in the new local adjustments tab.

It also crashes when using other tabs.

I have it loaded onto a MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019) running macOS BigSur 11.4

5.8 has been running very well on the same machine and I uninstalled it prior to loading this dev build.

I followed Hiram’s instruction to remove the RawTherapee application support folder but perhaps I must do something else I am not aware of.

I would be very grateful for some help in getting a dev build to work better on my Mac.

Incidentally I have downloaded the current Windows dev build and found it to be totally stable; sadly my PC is somewhat underpowered which means RawTherapee runs rather slowly on it.

Thanks in advance for your help

Following my post yesterday, I downloaded the previous build
https://kd6kxr.keybase.pub/RawTherapee_macOS_10.14_x86_64_5.8-3034-g8bd9bddfc.zip
and installed successfully with no crashes so far.

I am very happy about this.

My installation process today was slightly different as I followed the readme instruction exactly and copied rawtherapee-cli to the hidden /usr/local/bin location.

I had not done this in previous installation for the following reasons:
I don’t really know what I am doing
The readme text was an rtf and I didn’t know how to read them on mac
The path /usr/local/bin didn’t exist on my machine.

I changed the extension rtf to txt and could then read the instructions contained, I created the bin folder as a subfolder of local folder and pasted rawtherapee-cli there.

All seems to be functioning well. Thanks again to all who have made this possible.

Thanks for the reports and support. If you run into any crash, sharing the crash report can help solve any packaging errors we encounter.

Hello, I am a n00b here and only used RT for a few hours (coming from LR, nobody’s perfect :grin: ). Just wanted to thank you Hiram for this pre-5.9 version. It is running quite smoothly on my MBA 2019 + BigSur 11.6.1 I still have to digg into the functionalities!

Hello again, it might sound like a silly question, but do you know if the latest build integrates this fix: https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/commit/1318935a870a32610f5a06e29b673aaa472e6170 ?
I am currently fighting with the file browser to get larger images, but can not zoom to a high level :frowning:

It should, that commit is more than a year old.

I’ve uploaded a new working build for M1 “arm64” macs. https://kd6kxr.keybase.pub/RawTherapee_macOS_11.3_arm64_5.8-3065-g9c5ce0d9b.zip
Stay tuned for another test build for the intel mac.

Amazing! I will test the 3064 version as soon as it is available :+1:t3:
And thanks for the confirmation regarding the fix.

This is a new build for Intel x86_64 Macs (Catalina 10.15+):

https://kd6kxr.keybase.pub/RawTherapee_macOS_10.15_x86_64_5.8-3065-g9c5ce0d9b.zip

In this build I have fixed the Dynamic Range Compression crash which was due to some missing linker flags.

I forgot to say, I tested on Monterey.

Is there any reason to not give Hiram’s latest build a go with Big Sur 11.4?

Thanks Hiram for your work to date

It will work on 10.15 Catalina, 11 Big Sur, and 12 Monterey.

10.14 Mojave is no longer supported by Apple and Homebrew.

Working fine in iMac with 11.5.1. Thank you for the build !!!

Thanks so much for these builds @HIRAM !

It is working great for me except that I still can’t select ICC profiles under Color → Output Profile that are stored in either in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles or ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

For some reason I can still select profiles that are in the subfolder /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays.

The last working build I can find where this did not occur was RawTherapee_OSX_10.9_64_5.8-397-g276ae214f.

I am testing on macOS 11.6.2 (20G314)

Thanks for all your hard work with this!
