Bug#552000: ITP: rawtherapee -- A free RAW converter and digital photo processing software
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org
Package name: rawtherapee
Version: 2.4.1
Upstream Author: Gábor Horváth

License: will be GPL in the future
Description: A free RAW converter and digital photo processing software
RawTherapee is used to adjust some of the most often changed parameters when
optimizing digital images. A normal user often just wants to adjust the white
balance or brightness of a photo he took. Instead of using a big and expensive
image editor you could use a small and fast (specialized) tool like RawTherapee.
More and more cameras also support RAW formats. RAW files usually offer higher
color depth than JPGs (JPG is limited to 8 Bit per color). So the adjustments are
done with the high color depth and then afterwards converted to or saved as JPGs.
RawTherapee supports JPG (8 bit), PNG (8 or 16 bit) and TIFF (8 or 16 bit). All
image processing is done in 16 bit/channel mode.
Different to other RAW converters it can use EAHD as demosaicing algorithm. The
raw loading engine of RawTherapee is based on dcraw (RawTherapee 2.4.1 uses DCRaw
8.97).
According to http://rawtherapee.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9181 (last post) it will
be GPL'd. The GPL'd version it the one I intend to package.
