CalibRaw – open-source gpu accelerated lightroom-style RAW editor (specifically) for linux

Hii,

I've been working on CalibRaw for the last 3 months. A free and open-source RAW photo editor, with linux being one of the main platforms :D .

I started it because I wanted a RAW editor with a familiar lightroom-style workflow, but with a native desktop UI and good performance on Linux. I've tested many different editors but none really fit my needs/were optimized to run on linux.

It already covers most of the workflow I'd expect from a full RAW editor, including library/culling tools, non-destructive editing, local adjustments and masks, lens correction, HDR merge, creative effects, and optional local AI features like subject/sky/object masks, denoise and object removal.

I'd be interested to hear how it works for some of you and what could be optimized workflow-wise.

LLMs were used in creating this project/program.

(except for the ai models, this editor should run no problem on lower end hardware)

CalibRaw 1.0.0 RAW Photo Editor

Hi,

CalibRaw just got its first release :D. CalibRaw is a fully GPU-accelerated RAW editor focused on providing a smooth editing experience.

LLMs were used in creating this program.

Over the last 3 months, I tried to create a RAW editor that focuses on performance and a good workflow. I tried several other editors but never had the experience I was hoping for. Either the UI was complicated/not my kind of workflow, the performance was bad (especially on linux), or it was just a buggy mess.

CalibRaw has most of the editing controls like sliders, curves, and color wheels as you know them, but also has optional AI masking for subjects and objects (fully local).

I'd love to get some feedback on how it runs and if the editing workflow feels good.

(it should run good on lower end hardware too, just the AI Masks may take a bit longer to load)

CalibRaw focuses mainly on Linux and Android support, but has Windows releases too. MacOs actions are implemented as well, but I haven't been able to test them yet.

Feel free to ask any question you have :D
