RawTheRapee sounds a lot less pleasant than RawTherapee! :P

I thought "why would someone name anything that?" until I went to the website and found that this guy had for some reason changed the capitalisation to something much more creepy.

Very useful info there, thank you for sharing. I'm surprised there are no comments on software itself. o_O

Blog author here. Would you believe I didn't notice the proper capitalization is RawTherapee and not RawTheRapee? I didn't think twice about the semantics, now I can't unsee it. Thanks for the comment!
