LightCraft
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.

Luminar Neo
4.8 out of 5 stars
(77 Ratings)
Simple photo editor with AI that helps edit your photos as you imagine it in your eyes.
Luminar Neo calculates the depth of a photo and creates a 3D map, making it possible to spread light naturally in 3D space across a 2D image. You can also relight the background and foreground separately, meaning you can darken parts of the image as well. This opens up an opportunity for creative relighting in order to bring your artistic vision to life. Portrait Background RemovalAI is a powerful feature created on the basis of MaskAI, the smart AI technology that quickly detects and selects the objects in the photo. Forget about time-consuming manual selections. Remove the whole background behind the people in your photo, automatically. Portrait Background RemovalAI helps every Luminar artist expand their ideas. Pull the focus on your subject or get the perfect space for further adjustments in your creative compositions.
