| + | GPU-Accelerated Engine | Runs the full image-processing pipeline on the GPU through a custom WGSL shader for instant feedback while editing. |
|---|---|---|
| + | AI Subject Masking | Detects subjects, skies, and foregrounds automatically to speed up building local adjustment masks. |
| + | Non-Destructive Sidecar Workflow | Stores every edit in a separate sidecar file so the original RAW image is never modified. |
| + | Broad RAW Format Support | Decodes RAW files from a wide range of camera makes through the bundled rawler library, including X-Trans sensors. |
| + | Automatic Lens Correction | Corrects distortion, chromatic aberration, and vignetting using the Lensfun database. |
| + | Manual Clone and Heal Tools | Copies or heals pixels from a chosen source point at full image resolution for precise retouching. |
| + | Self-Hosted Generative Edits | Connects to a locally run ComfyUI server through a companion connector app to remove or add elements with text prompts. |
| + | HDR Merge with Deghosting | Aligns and blends handheld exposure brackets into a single HDR image while removing ghosting from moving subjects. |
