RAW Therapee 3.0 Alpha has been released. (Alpha release means the developer has just started working on the software. It is not stable or free of errors.)

http://www.rawtherapee.com/

The author has also released the source code as GPL.

Main changes are greatly revised user interface, batch operation and soon to be significant changes to demosaicing and noise treatments.

It's still freeware. :clap

    In fact, it's even more free than it used to be, because the source code is now free too. clap.gif

    I haven't downloaded the alpha yet. What do you think of it?

    Deconvolution sharpening seems much faster in the new interface. Stability remarkably good for an Alpha release.

    Win XP opens 2 screens now. One screen is an old DOS style text screen. (Probably only temporary and probably not in a final release.)

    Be careful not to use on a directory that has older version profiles (pp2 files). The new version does not properly understand and will lock up the application.

    Interesting. The extra window probably just means their linker options are incorrectly set to say that it's a text-mode program rather than a Windows GUI app. That should be trivial to fix.
