Description

LightCraft serves as an open-source library and RAW editor tailored for photographers seeking to manage and enhance their images on a local level. The software allows users to organize their photos into albums and folders while providing features for ratings, flags, metadata searching, sorting, and detecting duplicates. It includes non-destructive editing tools that facilitate exposure, tone and color adjustments, cropping, geometry changes, applying presets, converting to black and white, and utilizing local masks. Supporting a wide range of camera RAW formats and standard image types, it enables exports in JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, and DNG formats. Users can easily compare edits, synchronize settings across multiple selected photos, and design contact sheets for their work. LightCraft is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux systems, and it also offers a self-hosted WebAssembly build. Additionally, it features a command-line interface, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server for enhanced automation capabilities. Notably, all the library's data is stored locally, eliminating the need for user accounts or cloud services, thus ensuring complete data privacy and control.

Description

PhotoCraft is an open-source graphics editing application that provides tools for photo manipulation, image composition, and layered digital artwork. Developed in Rust, the software uses a native GPU-accelerated canvas with support for Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12, and WebGPU rendering technologies. Its editing interface includes familiar menus, keyboard shortcuts, panels, and tools for managing image documents. Users can work with layers, masks, brushes, vector elements, and editable text to create or modify visual compositions. PhotoCraft supports PSD and PSB file formats, allowing users to open and save layered image documents. The application includes 16 adjustment layers, more than 70 live-preview filters, smart objects, and configurable layer styles for non-destructive editing. On-device selection tools enable users to isolate subjects and objects and refine masks without sending image data to an external server. Color management features support RGB, CMYK, Lab, and grayscale documents at multiple bit depths, along with ICC profiles and soft proofing. PhotoCraft is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and its source code can be downloaded, modified, and compiled independently.
