A Rust photo library and non-destructive RAW developer recreating Lightroom-style library and adjustment workflows.
A Rust photo library and non-destructive RAW developer recreating Lightroom-style library and adjustment workflows. The upstream README explicitly targets Adobe Lightroom workflows and describes a separate Rust implementation. Source review does not establish clean-room legality or full behavioral parity; no REA involvement is claimed by this listing. Camera color calibration and support for some compressed RAW variants are incomplete. Some files fall back to embedded JPEG previews; HDR display, video and several Classic modules have gaps. We have not installed, run or audited it.
