Raw Therapee 3 Is Now Free Software
kantier writes "The only (as far as I know) usable and free (as in beer) program for processing RAW photos outside Windows or OS X is now also free as in freedom. From version 3 onwards, the code is licensed under the GPL v3. The main developer's reasons for opening up the program are a lack of time/resources for full dedication, and a lack of interest in some parts of the program (likes to fiddle with image-processing algorithms, not so much the GUI part) — so the F/OSS model seems to be a perfect fit for this project."
He opened up the code so other people could work on the GUI? This will end badly.
Yeah, the free software troll generator is still inferior to the proprietary solutions. Sorry about that.
Am I only the one who understood the summary to mean that he lacked interest in like image processing? And that the submitter/slashdot editor must have been like a valley girl?
Why do people persist in uppercasing "raw" as if it were an acronym???
It is an acronymn. RAW = Really Awkward Workflow ;-)
Actually when I use an SLR I almost strictly shoot RAW these days, because while it can be a pain it's worth it.

The windows terminal emulator software sucking hard (and it most certainly does) doesn't really have much to do with windows not having a rich, powerful, and universal set of command line utilities, with properly designed and useful flags and options. Implementing such a pathetic system years after Unix was designed is laughable.
Also, it's shell is woefully underfeatured, compared to something like zsh, or even bash. I could never see myself actually attempting to do real work with it.

No "failing" just means something different in New York and California. In California if we have to reduce the quality of our schools and public services to that of good 'ol Red State like Alabama we consider ourselves Bankrupt. In Alabama they consider it a boom year.
Yes the difference is blatantly obvious. 10 people on earth can use Unix and Windows has engulfed the world.
So you're saying because a million lemmings run off a cliff, that's the best thing to do?
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
