| Which cameras and file types does LightCraft open? | The raw and image formats LightCraft reads, what happens with raws it cannot decode yet, and how to open Lightroom catalogs. | 20 | 0.7.1 |
LightCraft reads raw files from DNG, Canon CR2 and CR3, Sony ARW, Nikon NEF, Fujifilm RAF (including X-Trans), Panasonic RW2, Leica RWL, Pentax PEF and Olympus ORF cameras. It also opens JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, PSD composites and JPEG XL.
What if my camera is not decoded yet?
A raw that LightCraft cannot decode opens from the camera's embedded JPEG instead, marked Preview only. Compressed Olympus raws, some Canon CR3 variants and Nikon High Efficiency NEF files work this way. See A raw photo opens as "Preview only".
How closely the starting look matches your camera's own JPEG varies by model. See Raw photos look dull or washed out. The project's raw support table lists what is known per camera.
Can I open my Lightroom photos?
Yes. LightCraft imports Lightroom Classic catalogs. See Move over from Lightroom.
What can I export?
JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL and DNG, or the original files with XMP sidecars. See Export photos.
