One editor for RAW and film. Properly.
PxlMonk is a fast, non-destructive RAW editor for photographers who shoot digital and film — with real film negative conversion built into the same pipeline, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Editing happens on your machine: your images, catalog and edits never leave your computer.
Non-destructive RAW
Every edit lives on a stack — your original file is never touched.
Film negative conversion
Real film science for C-41, B&W and E-6, not a generic invert filter.
Local adjustment masks
Freely combinable masks that stick to your image through crop and rotation.
CPU-first & private
Fast on your own machine. Your images, catalog and edits never leave your computer — only licensing talks to our server.
Built for the gap Lightroom leaves for film shooters
Most RAW editors treat film scanning as an afterthought — a generic invert filter, or nothing at all — forcing hybrid shooters to juggle two or three separate tools. PxlMonk treats film conversion as a first-class editing operation, in the same pipeline, the same edit history, the same export as your RAW workflow.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
A lean, single-purpose editor — not a bloated all-in-one suite.
Film negative conversion that isn’t a gimmick
A dedicated film ingest stage — before white balance and everything else — so the rest of the develop workflow "sees" a normal positive image. Proper density-space inversion, per-channel level matching to remove the orange base mask, and a paper-grade tone curve modeling darkroom-style contrast grading.
