Hello! My sister sent me some images on the .RW2 format, does anyone know any programs I should use to easily open/covert them to jpeg? Using Linux Mint if that helps.
I know this could easily be googled, but someday I’d like to imagine people tacking site:lemmy.world to their google searches instead of site:reddit.com
Darktable is fantastic, but the learning curve is steep for great results. It took us months to get comfortable with it after using Capture One, Lightroom, Photoshop/ACR. It’s different. Our first efforts looked like crap.
For someone processing just a few files I think RawTherapee is probably easier and likely to give better results with limited effort.
Something like
convert filename.rw2 filename.jpegMy Panasonic camera makes RW2 files for raw photos, I imagine most raw photo editors will open and convert them fine. I use darktable.
I’d suggest RawTherapee. It’s in the spirit of Darktable but it’s easier to use. More into on their website.
