Free Photo Software that's AMAZING!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

Here are some links to the best free/ Open source photo development programs. All of these programs except Gimp, natively open Raw files.

RawTherapee is the best Open Source Raw development program out there, also it beats allot of commercial raw development programs out there. It does everything ACR does and more in a 16bit non-destructive work-flow. It also has a fairly basic image liberty function. It's ported to most of the Linux distributions along with Windows, and Mac.

WARNING!!! RawTherapee is a fairly resource intensive program. To run it it at decent speed you need a least a duel-core processor running at 2.4Ghz and also 2gb of ram minimum.

Irfranview is a windows exclusive free-ware program. It view almost every format ever thought of. It's not the best, But it's still pretty good. It has very low system requirements.

UfRaw is an old open source Raw development program. For a lot of years it was the go to program. It doesn't have a large amount of features, In fact it's very bare-bones. It's not the best, It's just ok. It has some problems dealing with noisy images. It has a tendency to render the noise rather large and blotchy. It's useful to run on older computers because it's has fairly low system requirements. It's offered as ether a Plug-in for Gimp or as a stand-alone program.

Gimp is a excellent program. It has almost all of the feature offered in Photoshop. The features that are not in it are, CMYK support, 16bit editing(It only edits in 8bits currently.), And non-destructive adjustments.  It edits like PhotoShop 7.0(pre CS series). It's interface also reminds me of Photoshop 7.0. Overall a Great program, Especially when you consider the fact that it's free.
P.S. An all in one GUI will be in Version 2.8, which should be released in the next couple of months.(Update: Gimp V.2.8.0RC1 was released a few days ago. This means that we could be seeing a Stable version of 2.8.0 by the end of the month.)
P.S.S 16bit editing and non-destructive adjustments are planed for Version 3.0 which should be out in mid-late 2013.


P.S. I might do a review of Raw Therapee later on. I will have to see how much time i have then.
