What is PhotoCraft?

PhotoCraft is a free, open-source image editing program designed for working with photographs, digital graphics, and layered image compositions. The application is written in Rust and provides a native editing interface with conventional image editing menus, tool panels, and keyboard shortcuts. Its GPU-accelerated rendering engine supports Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12, and WebGPU for displaying and modifying image content. PhotoCraft allows users to organize visual elements into layers and apply masks to control which portions of an image are visible or affected by edits. The software includes painting brushes, vector editing capabilities, editable typography, and layer styles for creating graphics and modifying existing designs. Users can import and save layered Adobe Photoshop PSD and PSB documents, supporting workflows that involve existing Photoshop files. Non-destructive editing features include 16 adjustment layers, smart objects, smart filters, and more than 70 filters with live previews. Subject and object selection tools operate locally and allow users to refine selections through masking controls. The application supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit image documents across RGB, CMYK, Lab, and grayscale color spaces. ICC color management and soft proofing capabilities help users evaluate color representation for different output requirements. PhotoCraft supports offline editing and is distributed for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with additional access through a WebAssembly build and source code available on GitHub.

What is LightCraft?

LightCraft is an open-source library and RAW editor designed specifically for photographers who wish to manage and enhance their images locally. This software provides users with the ability to organize their photos into albums and folders while offering a variety of features such as ratings, flags, metadata searching, sorting, and duplicate detection. With non-destructive editing capabilities, users can adjust exposure, tone, and color, crop images, modify geometry, apply presets, convert to black and white, and utilize local masks for detailed enhancement. Supporting numerous camera RAW formats as well as standard image types, it allows for exports in formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, and DNG. Users can effortlessly compare edits, synchronize settings across selected images, and create contact sheets for their projects. LightCraft is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems, in addition to offering a self-hosted WebAssembly build. Furthermore, it includes a command-line interface, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server to enhance automation features. Importantly, all data managed by the library is stored locally, removing the necessity for user accounts or cloud services, which guarantees complete data privacy and control while providing a seamless editing experience. This commitment to local data storage allows photographers to work confidently without the fear of losing their images or personal information to external servers.
