IMO it is even better because you don't have to install it as root.īesides of RT it is worth to check Bibble Lite - costs $69. What I'm missing is proper workflow that allows quickly work with hundreds photos. You pick a suspicious area, apply a filter and see in 1:1 how it affects the image.

Well, about the "main image area" issues - on my PC it does not produce "jaggy" edges, it is not very fast though, and the "detail view" is a good way to see quick how the filters you apply are affecting the image in 1:1 scale. I am really grateful to the guy who develops ART for the Linux version, I have no Windows installed so other packages are not an option. There are not many such apps for Linux, and most big companies still ignore it. Besides of that I have Olympus SLR (e510) which is pretty new but ART works with e510's ORF files really fine. I've been using RT for a 2 weeks and I'm really impressed with it. In the meantime, I'll continue to play with RT when I boot into Windows. Hopefully, the AUR build will be working soon (maybe it does work for some people). However, it is almost more intrusive than helpful, and such a window should be an alternative viewing source, not the main viewing source.Īnyway, RawTherapee is one to watch. The apps current solution to this is the option of using a separate "detailed view" window. the main image area in the GUI severely limits the size of the image by design and utilizes magnification ratios that produce poor rendering (the dreaded "jaggy" edges) the main image is so small that even not-so-subtle edits are often not apparent in this view. "real-time" feedback of applied image edits is slow (so, I guess it's not really real-time ) However, this application actually seems to have potential in concept and design, so I installed it under Windows XP, and the pre-built Windows application works fine as far as I can tell except for some minor GUI issues (they mostly occur when re-sizing the window).Ī couple of stand-out issues that may become impediments to RawTherapee being a really serious digital photography tool, but hopefully these will be addressed as it evolves: Thumbnails of various Canon raw images I tried wouldnt render the preferences dialog could not be launched, the application interface randomly crashed or locked-up within a couple of minutes of opening, etc. Why would I want to contribute to such an ill-conceived product?Īlso for the record, my take on blueMarine was not about bugs or QA if it were, it would have been much kinder. The product's current path is that of a massively bloated, yet simplistic, Java image browser with an equally uninspiring interface.

We could do this "selective quoting and emphasizing" forever. Of course, your selective quote may be better than my selective quote.įor the record, the re-emphasis above is mine. Of course, you can also contribute to it.

Don't download it if you think to use it - blueMarine at the moment can be only evaluated. At the moment the QA is insufficient and the product is not yet suitable for production use. Only in 2006 it got a critical mass of feaures and the author definitely decided to retarget it. Originally it was just a technologic demonstrator, thus lacking quality assurance. I'll check on building "THe Experimental RAw Photo Editor" later.īlueMarine wasn't born with the idea of delivering a product. I know it's beta (already at RC1, though), but this is like VW claiming that their first incarnations of the Beetle would eventually become a Lamborghini.Īdobe and Apple should sue for having Lightroom and Aperture mentioned / compared to this application.

I simply do not foresee it ever becoming what it may aspire to be. For instance, an ornithologist usually manages field notes about the bird observed and photographed: directly binding them to photos and maybe GPS positioning data is much better than keeping a separate Excel sheet. The aim of blueMarine is to fully support the photographic workflow, even before the photo shoot (for instance, trip planning supported by maps) and beyond print or archival. This is just a core upon which different modules can be plugged in. BlueMarine foundation is very similar to existing applications such as Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture: a photo browser, which can be explored in different ways (by folder, by calendar, by tags, by galleries).
