I just found this today; Free RAW Editor ART
Downloads Page
I have downloaded it, but not yet installed.
Users say it has a DxO "feel" which can't be a bad thing.
It is a fork off RawTherapee and is aimed toward more user friendliness.
I have had and used RawTherapee for several years; it is way over my head and I often give it up in frustration; however, RawTherapee has one huge advantage over any bought-and-paid-for editor = it is usually quick to accommodate new versions of cameras and supports many many cameras that no other program can or will; and, when you get a camera that your favorite RAW editor doesn't accept without paying for a new version, RAWTherapee probably already has incorporated support for it and it doesn't cost a penny.
I am hoping this new ART program will be likewise, without being so much way over my learning.
I do have DxO Photolab 2 with all the bells and whistles, and it is wonderful and quick and SIMPLE to use; however, we do have a few odd cameras that it doesn't accept files from; I don't have that problem with RawTherapee and I don't expect it with ART either.
