Hi friends, on this occasion I will share the tutorial 'How to create a cinematic effect in Photos with RawTherapee'. In this tutorial, we use RawTherapee software to process the images into cinematic. RawTherapee is a useful software for photo editing. If you ever use Adobe Lightroom, then you will find similarities with RawTherapee Software. In terms of appearance and features provided RawTherapee almost the same as Adobe Lightroom.

The cinematic effect or cinematic photography is a way of making a still photo visible as a scene or scene taken from a movie. The cinematic effect usually displays a color like blue, green, or yellow with slightly darker saturation.

To start the editing process, first prepare the RawTherapee software first. If you do not have the software yet, please click the download link below:
