LightCraft
Photo library and raw developer in pure Rust
LightCraft is a photo library and raw editor inspired by Adobe Lightroom. Everything is non-destructive, so your original files are never changed, and it runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux and in the browser through WebAssembly.
Highlights
- A scene-referred, wide-gamut, 32-bit floating-point processing pipeline
- Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks, with edge-aware local tone mapping
- White balance by temperature and tint, color grading and masking
- Presets, before and after comparison and a built-in library
- Can be driven end to end by AI agents over MCP
Its tagline sums up the approach: your photos, your pixels, your machine.
Good to know: the ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks of the ArtCraft team and are not covered by the open-source license, so forks must remove them. The code itself is released under Apache-2.0.
