I'm new to all of this.. and I can tell instinctively that you have saved me hours and hours of frustration trying to find this information in different places. Great teaching style very easy to follow and understand. Thankyou!!
As a beginner I found this tutorial to be very helpful. I gained a lot from you working on multiple photos using the different tools in the program. I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all and I think this was because you repeated the process so I could get a sense of which functions to use across projects. Thank you!
Really nice! I found a good and simple practice for luminance noise is just cranking both sliders up to 100 and then reducing only detail recovery, mostly to some value between 60 and 90.
I'm still at the beginning of the tutorial but I already know this is gonna be an amazing tutorial. You explain everything so well and it's really easy to follow while you know exactly what your next step is going to do (to your photo). Thanks!
I'm migrating from Adobe to Affinity for obvious reasons and was looking for a raw editor that fits my needs more than the Affinity one does. I'm having an absolute blast discovering how elegant of a tool Rawtherapee is! Thank you so much for showing me around! Only thing I've missed (maybe I wasn't attentive or maybe you thought this was too advanced for a beginner tutorial) was saving/loading/copying processing profiles so you can add the same adjustments to a batch of images that you probably took in the same location. Also applying LUT's and using the Rawtherapee Film Simulation collection as a creative starting point for (some) photographers is quite a cool feature. Batch editing, LUT's and profiles could be an idea for a future video? I'm sure people would appreciate and I'm sure I'm missing some stuff that I yet have to learn or bad habits that I have to unlearn. Again, I find that this tutorial covered almost everything that I needed to know with the basic handling and file management and I'm very thankful! All the best to you!
Thank you for the vid. I think it is very good starting point. I would like to learn more about black-and-white editing in Rawtherapee. May be that could be the topic for a future tutorial 😅
This guide made a program that seemed to be daunting to start with suddenly a whole lot less daunting! :) The continuous editing of the 4 pictures at the end also gives great insight on the regular workflow in the program. That really helped that extra little bit. Superb!
Thank you so much Radu! I downloaded Raw Therapee last week and I couldn't find a good tutorial for an "absolute beginner" like me. I'm glad that you took the time to explain the basic stuff and you were never boring. I hope you' ll go on with other tutorials. You are a very good teacher.
Thank you very much! As a complete beginner this tutorial was extremely useful. Very well structured and clearly explained. I’d love to watch more advanced tutorials in the future :)
Incredibly helpful video! I normally just shoot jpegs and am usually happy with the results from my Fuji but wanted to get into raw processing for those images I just want a little more out of or didn't turn out the way I wanted. Definitely made this feel a whole lot less intimidating
Thank you some much for this great and really complete tutorial, from the beginning (interface discovery) to real examples of image processing. As there are so many options, tha't really great to see which one you use most to get excellent results. I would add just a little trick : go into setting/favorites and add the most commonly used modules (the one used in the video mainly) to get it easier to find them later, as a newbie. ;-)
Thanks a lot for this first video tutorial. For sure, I would be extremely interested in watching some more videos of yours whenever you have time 🙂 For instance, something related to the color management of RawTherapee; e.g. related to the final printing of your Raws images. On UA-cam there is little material (tutorials) about this subject since it is advanced stuff and not easy to know and explain. Also the Lab mode color would be cool to be showed since in GIMP it is not fully developed (you have to use RawTherapee to fully leverage this color correction mode). Anyway thanks again for your efforts!
I didn’t expect to sit through the entire tutorial, but I did and I’m glad I did. Very well done. Coming from Lightroom and wanting to find an alternative, your video helped me understand the different modules and sliders that are like those I use in LR. This makes me more confident about leaving Adobe! Would you happen to know if there’s a resize function in the program whereby you can choose to make the long side of an image a certain number of pixels?
Yes there is. Go to the editor pane in the left side of the program. Then choose the Transform tab on the right and a bit further down find the Resizse module. Activate it and where it says Specify choose Long Edge and enter your desired size in pixels.
I'm having trouble getting Davinci Resolve to load up after install. Have correct Nvidia drivers. Wondering if you use the studio (paid) or free version? Glad to find your channel! Peace from Houston.
I use the free version. Which distribution are you running? There are currently issues with some libraries. See here, maybe this helps. aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve#comment-969919
Thanks Radu. I am new to the world of raw image processing and I think you have hit your objective of providing a "zero to hero" guide perfectly.
I'm glad to be of some help.
This is an amazing tutorial. It's so detailed yet so easy to follow. Each step is clearly explained.
I'm happy you say this, it's exactly what I was going for and you saying that means I was at least somewhat successful.

Many thanks Radu, even though the guide was 80 mins, it really didn't feel like it, and it was very enjoyable and easy to digest. Kudos to you!
Thank you.
Great work. Simple and straight to the point explanations, without an annoying / too loud music in the background as we often see. Many thanks

Kdenlive is fine except rendering 4k. Stoked to try Davinci.
@@1kwords and thank you for the link
@@1kwords Are your video files mp4? Something else?
Does it have any presets for people making digital negatives for cyanotypes and other alternative print processes?
Not really.
Is there a way to make a white backboard effect / border on photos? There are so many options, so I’m not sure where to find it.
I'm not sure I know exactly what kind of effect you're going for. Could you point me to some examples?
What Linux distribution and desktop are you using? A curiosity, nothing more. I love Linux, that's why the question. greetings
Have been using Arch, btw, for the last couple of years. In a world where Arch didn't exist I'd be on Nobara (Fedora).
I'll take rawrherapee over Darktable anyday.
As will I.
