Edit like you mean it

LightCraft is a complete darkroom in a single native app. Every adjustment is non-destructive, so your originals are never touched. Every slider renders through a scene-referred, wide-gamut, 32-bit float pipeline: highlights roll off like film, shadows open up without halos, and colour stays clean from capture to export.

☀️ Light Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, with edge-aware local tone mapping (a guided filter on log-luminance). Pulling −100 Highlights recovers a blown sky without the grey halos you'd get from a naive curve. 🎨 Color White balance by temperature and tint (Kelvin for raw, relative for JPEG) with presets, Auto and a click-to-neutralise eyedropper. Vibrance that protects skin tones, Saturation, an 8-band Color Mixer (hue / saturation / luminance) and 3-way Color Grading wheels with blending and balance. All of it is computed in OkLCh, a modern perceptual colour space.

✨ Effects Texture for fine detail, Clarity for mid-tone punch, Dehaze (dark-channel prior with guided refinement; push it negative to add atmosphere), post-crop Vignette with highlight priority, roundness and feather, and resolution-independent film Grain with size and roughness. 📈 Tone Curve Parametric region curve with movable splits plus point curves for RGB, Red, Green and Blue. Curves are monotone by construction, so you never get an accidental tone inversion.

Color grading, the cinematic way

Split-tone shadows, midtones and highlights independently with drag-anywhere colour wheels. Below, Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother gets a warm, print-like tone (highlights at 42°, shadows at 28°) in two drags.

Masking that goes where you point

Paint with a Brush (size, feather, flow, density, erase), drop Linear and Radial Gradients with draggable pins, or select by Luminance Range, Color Range, Sky, Subject and Background. Combine components with Add / Subtract / Intersect, invert any of them, and dial in 17 local adjustments per mask (Temp, Tint, Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Texture, Clarity, Dehaze, Hue, Saturation, Sharpness, Noise, Moiré, Defringe), plus an overall Amount.

Desktop Object and Describe masks use SAM 3 for click-based and text-prompt selection, with a separately installed model; see model setup and terms. Subject, Sky and Background selections still use classical heuristics. Existing model-generated masks render and export without the model installed.

Presets, profiles & the Color Mixer

Forty-one hand-built presets ship in the box (Golden Hour, Teal & Orange, Faded Matte, Selenium Tone, Crisp Landscape and more), each with an Amount slider from 0 to 200 %. Save your own from any group of settings, mark favourites, and copy, paste or sync edits across a whole selection with exactly the groups you choose.

✂️ Crop, straighten & geometry Free or locked aspect ratios (1:1, 4:5, 5:7, 2:3, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, original), drag-to-rotate straightening that always keeps the largest crop inside the image, thirds / grid / golden-ratio overlays, flips and 90° rotations, plus manual Vertical, Horizontal, Rotate, Aspect, Scale and Offset transforms.	⚫️ Black & White One click (V) to monochrome, with an 8-band B&W Mix that lets you darken skies or make foliage glow. Then tone it with Color Grading for selenium, sepia or split-tone prints.

Organize everything

A library that stays out of your way: All Photos, Recently Added, Picks, By Date, Albums nested in Folders, and Recently Deleted. Rate with 0–5, flag with P / X / U, colour-label with 6–9. Search understands fields: rating:>3 flag:pick iso:>800 camera:x2 date:2026-04 keyword:mountains. Every view sorts by capture date, import date, edit date, name, rating, size or at random (a stable shuffle; View → Sort → Reshuffle for a new one). The justified Photo Grid and Square Grid views are virtualized, so they stay smooth whether you have forty photos or forty thousand.

The People view groups named faces, including names read from XMP; face boxes can be edited in the loupe. On desktop, automatic detection and recognition use optional models installed through Settings → Faces; no weights are bundled. See face models and setup.

Built for agents

Every menu item, slider, brush stroke, crop handle and keystroke in LightCraft is a command with a stable id and JSON parameters. The UI, the keyboard, the CLI, a JSON-lines control channel and an MCP server all dispatch through the same entry point. An agent can cull a shoot, develop it, mask a sky and export it, and see the result.

lightcraft --control 7980 ~/Pictures/trip

{"method": "engine.execute", "params": {"command": "photo.flag",  "params": {"flag": "pick"}}}
{"method": "engine.execute", "params": {"command": "develop.set", "params": {"values": {"light.highlights": -45, "light.shadows": 38}}}}
{"method": "engine.execute", "params": {"command": "mask.add",    "params": {"kind": "radial", "center": [0.62, 0.4], "rx": 0.2, "ry": 0.14}}}
{"method": "ui.clickWidget",   "params": {"id": "slider:effects.clarity"}}       // drive any widget by name
{"method": "ui.pointer",       "params": {"events": [{"kind":"down","x":0.2,"y":0.3}, {"kind":"up","x":0.4,"y":0.3}]}}
{"method": "ui.screenshot",    "params": {"path": "after.png"}}

• Command registry. engine.commands lists the available commands; develop.controls lists every slider's range, default and current value.

• MCP server. lightcraft-cli mcp exposes the command registry to Claude (or any MCP client), alongside helpers for import, query, develop, mask, render (returned as an image) and export. It runs headless, or attached to the running app with screenshots, clicks and gestures. See docs/mcp.md.

  cargo build --release -p lightcraft-cli
  claude mcp add lightcraft -- "$PWD/target/release/lightcraft-cli" mcp ~/Pictures/shoot          # headless
  claude mcp add lightcraft-app -- "$PWD/target/release/lightcraft-cli" mcp --connect 127.0.0.1:7980  # live app
  

• Scriptable CLI: lightcraft-cli run --import in.dng develop.set control=light.exposure value=0.7 app.export path=out.jpg longEdge=2048 runs any chain of commands (headless, on a saved library, or against the running app) and prints one JSON result per command; lightcraft-cli render in.dng -o out.jpg --set light.exposure=0.7 --preset ….

• Undo for everything, including agent actions: a slider drag (or a scripted burst of updates) is one undo step.

• Contact sheets (native app / CLI): select photos, then File → Contact Sheet PDF…. Choose A4 or Letter, landscape, rows/columns and filename captions; save a paginated PDF and print it from your PDF viewer. Exports use the current edits, fit each photo without further cropping, and render at 150 dpi in sRGB. The background export supports cancellation and protects originals and XMP sidecars. From the CLI:

  lightcraft-cli run --import ~/Pictures/shoot library.selectAll export.contactSheet path=Contact.pdf paper=a4 columns=3 rows=4 captions=true
  

  export.contactSheet also accepts explicit ids, landscape=true, and paper=letter. It replaces an existing output only after the entire PDF succeeds. Limits: 1,000 photos, 100 pages, 256 MiB; captions are rasterized with the same font coverage as watermarks (CJK requires craft-fonts), with long names shortened in the middle. This is a contact-sheet workflow, not a printer-driver or custom picture-package layout editor.

• Print layouts (native app / CLI): File → Print… opens the Print module's layout editor: Single Image, Contact Sheet, Picture Package (Auto Layout packs cells onto pages) and Custom Package (drag and resize cells, stacking order, snap to cells or a grid), Zoom to Fill / Rotate to Fit, Photo Border and Inner Stroke, paper sizes from 4 × 6 to 13 × 19 and A3 to A5 or custom, margins, rulers in in/cm/mm/pt, page background, 72–720 ppi, and saved templates. Print to PDF… renders in the background. Everything is a print.* command (print.get, print.set, print.cell.add, print.layout.autoLayout, print.exportPdf, print.template.save…), so the CLI and MCP drive it too:

  lightcraft-cli run --import ~/Pictures/shoot print.set 'layout={"style":"picturePackage","page":{"paper":"8x10"}}' \
      print.cell.add width=5 height=7 print.cell.add width=2.5 height=3.5 print.layout.autoLayout print.exportPdf path=Package.pdf
  

  The Print Job panel supports printer/paper ICC profiles, rendering intent, black point compensation, print adjustment, sharpening and 8/16-bit PDF output. Direct printing through an OS print dialog and page overlays (identity plate, watermark, page numbers) are not there yet.

• Slideshows: View → Slideshow plays the photos in view full screen, with fades, repeat and random order. Settings → Slideshow configures layouts, templates, backgrounds, overlays and title screens. Native exports support PDF, JPEG sequences and AV1 video in MP4 or WebM; music and a dedicated Slideshow module editor remain missing. See docs/slideshow.md.

• Every widget is addressable (ui.widgets) and clickable by name, so agents operate the real UI, not a side door.

• The screenshots in this README were produced end to end by the docs/showcase/ scripts. Protocol reference: docs/control-protocol.md.

Fast, native, private

• Pure Rust, no C. Our own RAW decoders (DNG, Canon CR2/CR3, Sony ARW, Nikon NEF, Fujifilm RAF incl. X-Trans, Panasonic RW2 / Leica RWL, Pentax PEF, Olympus ORF), our own colour science, our own pipeline. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, PSD composites, JPEG XL, GIF (first frame) and BMP open today; HEIC/HEIF photos too with --features heif (HEVC is a build-time choice, as in PhotoCraft).
• Scene-referred & wide-gamut. Linear Rec.2020 float internally, Bradford-adapted white balance, gamut mapping instead of clipping, a filmic shoulder for raw and pixel-exact pass-through for JPEGs you haven't touched.
• Resolution-independent edits. Radii and brush sizes are relative to the image, so a 400 px preview, your 5K display and a 60 MP export look the same.
• GPU-accelerated, CPU-exact. The whole develop pipeline runs as wgpu compute kernels (Metal / Vulkan / DX12), checked against the CPU pipeline to within 1/255. On a 24 MP raw (Apple M4 Pro): a slider update re-renders in ~4 ms, a cold 2.5 MP loupe in ~30 ms, and a full-size export in ~0.3 s including a parallel JPEG encode. Without a GPU the same pipeline runs on all CPU cores, redoing only the stages a slider affects. Batch exports render several photos side by side, so one's decode and encode overlap another's render.
• Instant culling. Opening a raw shows its embedded camera preview or cached render within ~0.1 s while the full render follows (~0.2–0.5 s for 24 MP). The next and previous photos are prepared in the background, so stepping through a shoot takes ~50 ms per photo.
• Background rendering. A worker pool renders the loupe, before/after and every visible thumbnail off the UI thread: drafts during drags, full quality on release.
• Local-first. No account, no cloud, no telemetry, no subscription. Your catalog is an append-only log of human-readable operations you can diff, back up or replay.

Feature status

LightCraft is young and moving fast: alpha. Where we honestly stand (details in the roadmap and docs/target-app-parity.md):

• By feature count we're at ~82% (core features 98%), tracked row by row in docs/parity-checklist.md.
• As a day-to-day tool we're nearer 61% for the whole product, ~51% for a typical working photographer and ~65% for casual use. It's great for JPEG/DNG and most Sony / Panasonic / Fujifilm / Nikon / older-Canon raws on one machine; see docs/raw-parity.md for your camera.
• The biggest gaps:
  • camera colour calibration: Sony, Nikon, Panasonic, Fujifilm and Canon CR3 raws have guarded estimates from their camera JPEGs, with built-in ILCA-99M2, ILCE-7CR, ILCE-7M4, X-H2S, X-T4, Nikon Z 6II, Z 8 and D5300 profiles; measured calibration is missing, and other raws or rejected fits retain a neutral matrix;
  • compressed Olympus raws and unsupported CR3 variants: these use embedded JPEG previews when present. Fujifilm lossless/lossy compressed RAF now decodes sensor data; verification and existing-library reload instructions;
  • AI quality and model setup: Subject and Sky selection are classical heuristics; Object/Describe use an optional SAM 3 model. AI Denoise supports Bayer RAW with separately installed weights, while X-Trans and linear-RGB denoise and Super Resolution remain missing; see AI masks and AI Denoise;
  • network libraries: a preview reads the raw's header — or, for a CR3 or a TIFF raw whose preview tag sits past it, exactly the ranges the sparse planner names — and its embedded JPEG only (56.5 MB → 5.9 MB, 10 s → 1 s on the test share), but the developed picture still needs the sensor data over the wire; see docs/raw-preview-reads.md;
  • on-screen HDR display, video import/editing, and the Book / Map module views. Print layouts and colour-managed PDF output work; direct printer output and page overlays remain missing. Slideshow playback and export work, with a dedicated module editor and music still missing.
• What's next: see the ranked gaps and the roadmap.

How it's built

An engine-first Cargo workspace of small, tested crates with enforced layering (cargo xtask layers): geom, color, raster, tiff → raw, codecs, meta, develop → pipeline → catalog → engine → ui-egui. The egui frontend is one swappable crate; nothing below it knows a UI exists. mcp and the apps (lightcraft, lightcraft-cli) sit on top of engine.

Contributing

Humans and agents follow the same rules, so read AGENTS.md first. The short version:

• Clean-room. Never read proprietary binaries or GPL raw/photo code (darktable, RawTherapee, LibRaw, rawspeed, dcraw…); work from public specs and black-box observation.
• No proprietary assets, ever: no icons, screenshots, presets, profiles, LUTs or fonts from commercial products. Every image, icon and font in the repo is original, public domain, Creative Commons, OFL or permissively licensed, and has an entry in assets/ATTRIBUTION.md added in the same commit. New fonts go to storytold/craft-fonts, not here.
• Pure Rust, enforced crate layering, everything is a command, and cargo xtask ci green before every commit (one task id per commit).
• Never crash. Non-test code returns errors instead of panicking: no unwrap(), expect(), panic! or unsafe, checked indexing on anything derived from input, and a regression test with every crash fix. Details in AGENTS.md.

Star history

Library, Tools, and Presets panels can be regrouped, split, floated within the app window, closed, and reopened. Tools keeps the current Edit/Crop/Masking mode; the photo view and filmstrip stay together. Drag a panel header to a target edge or another header. Its context menu offers Float panel, Move to group, and Close panel. Existing panel toggles reopen panels at their saved location; Reset Panel Layout restores the app layout. Floating panels remain inside the current app window.
