Having been away for a few weeks in the last few months and just taking snaps of things, I failed to notice that RawTherapee changed its license to a GPL one! So we should see RawTherapee getting compiled and released on different systems. I downloaded it and tried out the new 3.0 alpha 1 release and it's abit unstable for now. It has a tendancy of crashing randomly on my machine, I will be sticking with the 2.4.x stable for now.

Another one of my favourite pieces of software for photography has got to be Hugin, they too seemed to have done a new release and its rather spiffy, there is even some GPGPU support which works quite well on my cheapo nvidia g210 based graphics card. Here's a rather boring panorama stitched from 4 images.
