LightTable is a digital darkroom for RAW photography. Edit exposure and color, simulate photographic film, organize your library, and export finished photographs while preserving your originals. Processing happens locally on your computer.
Features include non-destructive editing, film simulation, ratings and collections, RAW development, and full-resolution 16-bit TIFF export with embedded color profiles.
This is the LightTable 0.5 beta for 64-bit Intel and AMD Linux systems. The strict Snap package has been exercised on Ubuntu 24.04 using software graphics. Physical AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPU testing is still pending.
Choose photo folders through the desktop folder picker. Direct access to removable drives is optional and can be enabled with: sudo snap connect lighttable:removable-media
Snap manages application updates. Keep a catalog backup before uninstalling or switching package formats. A catalog backup contains catalog data and edits; retain your original photo files separately.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install LightTable, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install lighttable --beta
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
