A fast, honest RAW develop workflow
Exposure, white balance, tone curves, HSL and creative LUTs — a non-destructive workflow built on real color science, not guesses.
Non-destructive editing
Every edit lives on a stack — the original file is never touched.
Real white balance
True Kelvin + Tint via Bradford chromatic adaptation.
Wide camera support
Broad RAW compatibility, including Leica DNG and other rare formats.
Profiles & LUTs, organized
Camera profiles and creative LUTs live in a central library, ready for every image.
Core adjustments
Exposure, contrast, tone curve, saturation/vibrance, per-color-band HSL, sharpening and noise reduction.
Real white balance
True Kelvin + Tint via Bradford chromatic adaptation, anchored to the camera’s actual as-shot color — validated across Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica and Panasonic.
Color grading & detail
Three-way color wheels for shadows, midtones and highlights, plus dehaze, clarity, structure and vignette — all in the same non-destructive stack.
Creative 3D LUTs
.cube format with smooth, accurate color transitions — not the banding and artifacts cheaper implementations produce. Organized in a LUT library by category, referenced by a stable ID so renaming or reorganizing never breaks an edit.
Camera profile manager
Import .dcp camera profiles into the central library — once imported, every image can use them, no per-file setup.
Independent color management
ICC-aware color management for display and export, kept deliberately separate from the RAW input pipeline to avoid the color bugs that plague homegrown editors.
