This Free Lightroom Alternative Changed How I Develop Photos
1 min read
Summary
For those who do not want to pay subscription fees for Adobe’s Lightroom, an open-source alternative called RawTherapee can be used for photo editing.
With its price of free, RawTherapee can help save money for beginners in the photography field, which can instead be used to purchase other equipment for better picture capturing.
It also has other features that Lightroom has, such as a non-destructive workflow that retains the original image data and the ability to get better detail while editing.
For beginners, RawTherapee is recommended as it has a simple interface, and its documentation can teach a person how to use it.
It is available across all operating systems- Windows, macOS, and Linux- and is performant even on low-spec machines.
RawTherapee does not support extensions or third-party add-ons, but it does work well with other programs, including Lightroom.
It is also noted that Lightroom is easier to use when browsing images.
