RawTherapee, alternative Linux à Lightroom CC

Mis à jour le 27 octobre 2026

Notre avis

RawTherapee is a solid replacement for Lightroom CC when you need raw development and non‑destructive editing, but it lacks a full digital asset management system. It works best for photographers who are comfortable handling large libraries in a separate tool (e.g., digiKam, darktable, or a file‑system based workflow) and who want advanced control over demosaicing, noise reduction, and color management. For casual users who rely on Lightroom’s integrated catalog, presets, and cloud sync, RawTherapee will feel incomplete.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Lightroom CC

RawTherapee cannot open Lightroom CC catalog files (.lrcat) or XMP sidecar files directly. It can open raw files exported from Lightroom or the raw files themselves, and you can export JPEG/TIFF/PNG for use elsewhere. For full catalog migration, you would need to export images and metadata from Lightroom and import them into a separate DAM such as digiKam.

Passer de Lightroom CC à RawTherapee, étape par étape

Export all RAW and JPEG files from Lightroom CC to a folder structure you control.
Export metadata (XMP) from Lightroom for each image using the "Export XMP" option.
Import the raw files into RawTherapee and apply any desired edits.
Use a DAM like digiKam or darktable to re‑catalog the edited images and import the XMP metadata.
Export final images from RawTherapee in the desired format for sharing or printing.
If needed, re‑apply Lightroom presets by recreating them manually in RawTherapee’s adjustment modules.
