With RawTherapee 4.2, I want to edit the image and export it as jpg file, but without touching the original RAW file. Is it possible? At the moment I copy the RAW, edit it and put it to the queue to create a jpeg. Then i delete the copied raw file.

An export doesn't change the original file. Therefore it's named Export. To check this
- Create a copy of your RAW file
- Open RawTherapee and export as JPG
Check the modification type of your copied RAW file via
stat
Example
I create a new file named
foo
viatouch
and do some things. Check the output of the commandstat
