It combines cataloguing, fielded search, raw decoding, tonal and color adjustments, masks, presets, and local export without requiring a cloud account. ### Project history LightCraft was created by the ArtCraft team as an open-source, clean-room photo-library manager and raw developer written in Rust. The project implements its own raw support and a scene-referred, wide-gamut, 32-bit floating-point development pipeline while leaving original photographs untouched. ### Adoption history LightCraft is distributed for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with a browser build, native packages, and a headless CLI. The supplied package metadata records its availability through the Homebrew cask `lightcraft`. ### How it is used Users can manage a persistent photo library, import folders, rate and organize photographs, apply nondestructive adjustments and masks, and export developed images. The application also exposes a CLI, JSON control channel, and MCP server for batch processing and agent-driven workflows. ### Why package nerds care LightCraft is notable for packaging a broad photographic workflow—raw decoding, cataloguing, nondestructive development, masking, metadata, GPU rendering, CLI automation, and an MCP interface—inside a native Rust workspace. Its local-only model also avoids account, cloud, telemetry, and subscription dependencies. ### Timeline - 2026-10-02: The official GitHub release history records LightCraft v0.1.0. - 2026-10: Official distribution covered native desktop packages, a command-line renderer, and a WebAssembly build. ### Related projects - LightCraft is part of ArtCraft's Crafting Apps family with PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, FilmCraft, PdfCraft, EffectCraft, and DesignCraft.
