Review: RawTherapee 3.0 on Linux

“In the two years since developer Gabor Horvath switched from a
proprietary licensing system to the GPLv3, a small team of
contributors has grown up around the RawTherapee code. Many are
users of non-Linux OSes, which is good for the outreach side of
promoting open source. On the RawTherapee downloads page, you can
grab installers for Windows and Mac machines, as well as 32-bit and
64-bit versions of the application packaged for the Ubuntu and
Gentoo distributions. A separate page lists build for other
distros, including Fedora.

“In my opinion, the wealth of download offerings listed on the
page is a bit confusing, as is the “filter tool” at the top and the
need to click on individual items to see their details. Even after
you narrow your choices down to “stable, Linux, 32-bit” there are
several identically-named (and identically-detailed) packages. Only
the actual file names reveal that one package has the debug symbols
turned on.”
