NAME

       RawTherapee - An advanced, cross-platform program for developing raw photos.

DESCRIPTION

       RawTherapee  is  an  advanced program for developing raw photos and for processing non-raw
       photos. It is non-destructive, makes use of OpenMP, supports all the cameras supported  by
       dcraw and more, and carries out its calculations in a high precision 32-bit floating point
       engine.

SYMBOLS

         <Chevrons> indicate parameters you can change.
         [Square brackets] mean the parameter is optional.
         The pipe symbol | indicates a choice of one or the other.
         The dash symbol - denotes a range of possible values from one to the other.

SYNOPSIS

         RawTherapee GUI
         rawtherapee <folder>           Start File Browser inside folder.
         rawtherapee <file>             Start Image Editor with file.

         RawTherapee CLI
         rawtherapee-cli -c <dir>|<files>   Convert files in batch using default parameters.
         rawtherapee-cli <other options> -c <dir>|<files>  Convert files in batch using your  own
       settings.
         rawtherapee-cli  [-o <output>|-O <output>] [-q] [-a] [-s|-S] [-p <one.pp3> [-p <two.pp3>
       ...] ] [-d] [ -j[1-100] [-js<1-3>] | [-b<8|16>] [-t[z] | [-n]] ] [-Y] -c <input>

OPTIONS

         -c <files>       Specify one or more input files.
                          -c must be the last option.
         -o <file>|<dir>  Set output file or folder.
                          Saves output file alongside input file if -o is not specified.
         -O <file>|<dir>  Set output file or folder and copy pp3 file into it.
                          Saves output file alongside input file if -O is not specified.
         -q               Quick-start mode. Does not load cached files to speedup start time.
         -a               Process all supported image file types when specifying a  folder,  even
       those
                          not   currently  selected  in  Preferences  >  File  Browser  >  Parsed
       Extensions.
         -s               Use the existing sidecar file to build the processing parameters,
                          e.g. for photo.raw there should be a photo.raw.pp3  file  in  the  same
       folder.
                          If the sidecar file does not exist, neutral values will be used.
         -S               Like -s but skip if the sidecar file does not exist.
         -p <file.pp3>    Specify processing profile to be used for all conversions.
                          You can specify as many sets of "-p <file.pp3>" options as you like,
                          each will be built on top of the previous one, as explained below.
         -d               Use the default raw or non-raw processing profile as set in
                          Preferences > Image Processing > Default Processing Profile
         -j[1-100]        Specify output to be JPEG (default, if -t and -n are not set).
                          Optionally, specify compression 1-100 (default value: 92).
         -js<1-3>         Specify the JPEG chroma subsampling parameter, where:
                          1 = Best compression:   2x2, 1x1, 1x1 (4:2:0)
                              Chroma halved vertically and horizontally.
                          2 = Balanced (default): 2x1, 1x1, 1x1 (4:2:2)
                              Chroma halved horizontally.
                          3 = Best quality:       1x1, 1x1, 1x1 (4:4:4)
                              No chroma subsampling.
         -b<8|16>         Specify bit depth per channel (default value: 16 for TIFF, 8 for PNG).
                          Only applies to TIFF and PNG output, JPEG is always 8.
         -t[z]            Specify output to be TIFF.
                          Uncompressed by default, or deflate compression with 'z'.
         -n               Specify output to be compressed PNG.
                          Compression is hard-coded to 6.
         -Y               Overwrite output if present.

       Your pp3 files can be incomplete, RawTherapee will build the final values as follows:
         1- A new processing profile is created using neutral values,
         2- If the "-d" option is set, the values are overridden by those found in
            the default raw or non-raw processing profile.
         3- If one or more "-p" options are set, the values are overridden by those
            found in these processing profiles.
         4- If the "-s" or "-S" options are set, the values are finally overridden by those
            found in the sidecar files.
         The processing profiles are processed in the order specified on the command line.
