What works the same as Lightroom

  • A library with ratings, flags, collections, stacks and virtual copies.
  • Reads a copy of your Lightroom Classic catalog: ratings, flags, keywords, collections and develop settings can come across.
  • Imports Lightroom XMP files and old .lrtemplate presets, with a report of what was mapped and skipped.
  • Editing tools: RGB curves, color grading, local masks, heal and clone, lens correction and crop.
  • Film simulation with 23 film stocks, which you can switch off for ordinary RAW development.

What is missing

  • Mac packages are still being prepared, and Windows needs more testing.
  • Imported Lightroom settings are approximate: different render engines give different results.

How to get started

  1. Click Download and pick the file for your computer: the Windows installer or the Linux archive.
  2. On Windows, run the installer. On Linux, unpack the archive and open LightTable.
  3. Add a folder of photos, or import a copy of your Lightroom Classic catalog.
