An updated version of my old RawTherapee tutorial. Hopefully this is a bit better than my old tutorial, which inexplicably got fairly well-watched despite mainly being posted for a friend of mine. Please let me know if you have any strong feelings about this video, or if you have any questions (answers to FAQs are at the end)!

RawTherapee is free, open-source and cross-platform software for editing photos.

Notes (because I thought I could add annotations, since I haven't posted to YouYube in years): 
Make sure to extract the downloaded file when you go to install on Windows, then click on the .exe file to run the installer.

Also, I know Lightroom isn't free software; I'm comparing to it because it is a popular but expensive alternative to RawTherapee that acts quite a bit differently to this software.

Answers to FAQs:
Local edits are not available in the main branch of RawTherapee. This means no spot remover tool, or simple way to remove lens flares, as well as no cloning tool. "Local lab" is a version that exists somewhere that does this, but I just use GIMP.
