PhotoCraft 1.0 — out now

Every pixel
under control

PhotoCraft is a photo editor for people who shoot a lot. A fast raw engine, non-destructive layers, masks that find the subject for you and a batch export that never asks twice. It runs on your machine, with one licence and no subscription.

01 features

Six tools, and what each one saves you

Every edit is a step in a stack you can reorder, switch off or copy to the next five hundred frames. The original file is never touched.

  1. Local first

    Your catalogue and your edits live on your disk. Nothing is uploaded, and the app works the same on a plane as it does in the studio.

  2. Non-destructive

    Every adjustment is stored as a step, never baked in. Go back a week, change one slider and everything above it recalculates.

  3. GPU accelerated

    Previews render on the graphics card, so zooming to 100% on a 60-megapixel file doesn't make you wait.

  4. Scriptable

    Presets, export rules and whole edit stacks are plain text files. Keep them in git, share them with your team or generate them with a script.

03 workflow

Import, edit, export

  1. Step 01 Import

    Point it at a card or a folder

    PhotoCraft reads the files where they are, builds previews in the background and flags duplicates before you start culling.

    Seconds

  2. Step 02 Edit

    Develop one frame, sync the rest

    Grade the hero shot, then copy the stack to the series. Masks re-detect the subject in every frame instead of reusing a fixed shape.

    Your pace

  3. Step 03 Export

    Every size, named and sorted

    One click writes the web set, the print TIFFs and the client proofs, each with its own size, sharpening and file name.
