Tests updated!

I have just finished updating tests section. Now one can compare latest software including Raw Therapee 2.4 beta (it is buggy therefore some results are clearly wrong). The testing procedure was improved to provide even better (more fair) comparison. One can notice that some of the applications are missing. It is true. Raw Magick seems to be a dead project and I decided to not include it. Kolev Raw is not dead but information about releasing it under linux "soon" turned out to be not true (and I couldn't contact the developer to get any info about that). The last application that is missing is Helicon Filter. I am sorry but quality of this software is so bad that I couldn't even set the right white balance what killed the whole "comparison" idea. Don't worry, the good news is that I hope to add Aperture soon.
