No, you should open an issue on github: GitHub · Where software is built
Thanks, done.
As far it is only operational on Windows. I’m not sure but I suppose “file-raw-placeholder” recognizes the raw processor in your system, and activates appropriate raw processor plug-in, however it recognizes ART only on Windows as far and on other OS “file-another-rawtherapee” is not activated. It may be fixed before GIMP 3.2 completed version will be released.
Are negative values clamped before CTL scripts (ART 1.25.11)?
I was trying to visualize the negative values with a script ( pratically if rgb<0 , 1 else 0) but the display is always black.
check negative3.txt (1.5 KB)
In the following image I expect a lot of negative values
Probably there’s something very wrong with my script.
Would it be possible to add support for images in HEIF/HEIC format? Darktable can open such files from Sony A7IV, but I couldn’t make ART to do the same. Sony files have .HIF extension
You can follow the instructions here: Adding Support for Custom Image Formats | ART raw image processor

At the bottom of that instruction page there’s a link to a repo with image handlers, and one is called heic.txt.
Follow the install instructions here:

A thing that I’d like to see improved in ART is the following.
I have a folder with lots of photos, 100+. When I select one in the middle and activate the Inspector, the photo opens fine. But where is the selected thumbnail? I have to scroll and to scroll to find it…
It would be nice when the selected thumbnail showed up next to the inspected photo.
Would it be difficult to enable printing a (detailed) log what’s going on when ART is started from terminal? This is a usual functionality in Linux programs and it might be helpful to have it in ART too.
But date and time are already shown in the file navigator under the thumbnail you clicked on to open the image.
Don’t think so. You organise your photos by date! 
Is there a way to change the black background around the image to lighter gray or even white? I think it should help better judge the exposure. Similar to what Darktable does. For example:
Great! Now I remember I read about it in the book but then forgot 
Something I would find a useful addition would be a blur slider for brush masks – Or more accurately, a blur / softness control for the brush itself. Feather is image-following and that’s very useful at times. But a “non-following” soft brush could also be very useful.
Thanks.

ART is already a fantastic program… if I could have a couple of things - which might not really be that important - they would be:
- RawTherapee has been adding new options for the demosaic algorithms. I’m not sure a lot of people play with those but I do… and I find that the combination of RCD+VNG4 works extremely well with my Pentax file, bringing some additional color detail compared to other options.
- I find the Haze Removal tool in RawTherapee with Strength, Depth and Saturation much more intuitive than the curve in ART.
- Adding a third - I probably don’t need this at all but some additional bands in the Tone Equalizer similar to Darktable would be a nice to have. But I’m very grateful for the Tone Equalizer as it is.

Hi all, hi Alberto!
I’d love to be able to use the updated OpenDRT (v1.1.0) as a CTL script. For quicker edits I flipflop between Sigmoid and OpenDRT so for me it’s still very much of use.
I’ve also yesterday stumbled upon the color-harmonizer module from dt. IMHO this could be very useful for editing in ART aswell. Maybe you have different ideas about how colors should be pulled (or even pushed?). Would love this also as a local module.
Two quick ideas. Nothing more.
Have a nice Easter for everyone that celebrates.
Cheers, Bob.

I’m not sure how often Alberto checks these forums. OTOH he is quite active on GitHub. So maybe these suggestions should be made there?
