About

LightCraft is an open-source photo library and RAW editor for photographers who want to organize and develop images locally. It imports photos into albums and folders and supports ratings, flags, metadata search, sorting and duplicate detection. Non-destructive tools cover exposure, tone and color adjustments, crop and geometry, presets, black-and-white conversion, and local masks. It reads multiple camera RAW and common image formats and exports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP and DNG. Users can compare edits, synchronize settings across selected photos, and create contact sheets. LightCraft runs on macOS, Windows and Linux; a WebAssembly build can be self-hosted. A command-line interface, JSON control channel and MCP server support automation. The library is stored locally, without an account or cloud service.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Color.io is stunningly designed and genuinely fun to use. The Film presets are some of the best I’ve ever used and the film emulation tools are of extremely high-quality. Overall Color.io is really great for both raw photo development and LUT creation and it works seamlessly on iPhone and offline as a web app. It gets frequent updates and is under active development.

Cons

  • Web app install process is a bit awkward at first but no real biggie once setup. It is missing some advanced features like layers and masks (as of July 2025)
