Hello fellow zoners,
Would any of you please highlight a few of the key advantages of raw therapee compared to LR 3 ?
I always get confused with DCRaw, RawTherapee, BibbleLabs, etc... and their respective strong points.
Greetings,

For starters... it's free... Recently I've tried it out (v.2.4), and I can say that it's quite surprising that it's a free tool... And now the latest version 3.0 has a sophisticated shadow & highlights tool, a purple fringe removal tool (which I couldn't locate yet) etc... Having these functionalities in raw data manipulation (before manipulation in PS) is very convenient actually.
I don't use LR3, but as far as I remember LR2 was almost the same as ACR. And RT v3.0 includes almost the same functionalities as ACR (leaving out the grad filter and spot removal).
The major drawback of RT is that it's deadly slow...
