LightStrike

Photography

From the first selection to the developed image.

LightStrike brings a photo library, culling workspace, and image development into one desktop project. Import photographs, move through them in a loupe and filmstrip, and keep adjustments separate from the original files.

What you
can do.

Give the library some order

Import images into a persistent catalog and review them through a loupe and filmstrip as you narrow down a selection.

Keep the original intact

Store development adjustments in the library so you can revisit an image without baking every decision into its source file.

Take the developed image out

Render an adjusted image through the native app or command-line export path when it is ready for the next step.

Current stage: Source preview
Platform: Windows and Linux source previews

LightStrike is an early alpha available as source, with no packaged installer. Camera RAW coverage, color accuracy, lens profiles, large libraries, and accessibility still need broader testing.
