#### Photo library and non-destructive raw developer

LightCraft is an open-source, native photo library and raw developer for organising photos and developing raw files non-destructively.

LightCraft is part of the open-source ArtCraft "Crafting Apps": a native Rust
application that runs locally on your own files and can be driven from a CLI,
a JSON control channel or an MCP server.

This snap repackages the official upstream Linux release. The headless
command line tool is available as lightcraft.cli.
