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
A photo gallery designed for self-hosted personal servers allows you to set up Photoview to directly access media from your file system. This setup enables automatic organization based on your file structure, where directories transform into albums filled with the corresponding photos and videos. Additionally, it periodically rescans the content to incorporate any new media, ensuring that your collection remains current. With this method, you maintain complete control over how your media is organized, whether utilizing a file server like Samba or FTP, or even integrating files from a Nextcloud instance. The system supports multiple users, each assigned their own directory for storing photos and videos, along with unique usernames and passwords to safeguard their privacy. Users can effortlessly share albums and individual images or videos by creating public or password-protected links for easy access. Moreover, when photos undergo analysis for EXIF metadata, this crucial information is conveniently displayed alongside the images, enhancing the overall experience of managing your media. This flexible and user-friendly approach makes it simple for anyone to create a personalized media library that suits their needs.
