Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm OrionNest. I wanted a photo editor I could simply own: no subscription, no cloud, works offline, and opens RAW files fast. So I built Darkroom in Rust. It decodes RAW files from most cameras, ships with its own camera color profiles and the open lensfun lens database, and the AI tools (masks, denoise, upscaling, object removal) run locally on your GPU or CPU. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. Coming from another photo editor? It can import .lrcat catalogs, develop presets and XMP sidecars, and it writes XMP that other editors can read. It's free for non-commercial use and the source is on GitHub. Bug reports and feature requests are very welcome. I'd love to hear what you think!
