Please keep in mind, the photograph is another’s property, and is to be used only for practicing your skills in RawTherapee (as licensed from the photographer).įirst of all, RawTherapee’s primary purpose is to convert from RAW to other formats. At the very bottom of this post, is the link to a Raw file.
