If you want to try the latest tools and bug fixes and can't wait anymore

Intro

Below you can find the latest (or close to it) development version of RawTherapee, in case you need to follow some tutorial which is using a development version of the program, or you simply wish to test the latest additions to the toolbox.

Take into account that those will be development versions, and that mean that you may face instabilities, crashes or incompatibilities with previous versions. However, they are usually very stable and you may still be very happy with them. And in case you face some problem, you can also help the developers reporting the misbehaviors, so they are aware of them and will have the opportunity to fix them.

This page won't be updated regularly, so if links get outdated you can always find the latest builds («versions») in the RawTherapee nightly builds page. When you go there, please ignore any file ending in «.sha256sum», or «.hash».

As a more friendly alternative, you can also go to the RawTherapee downloads discuss page, which will be most likely up to date.
