Photography and RAW processing
Light Forge
A future home for organizing and developing your photographs.
Overview
A future photography workflow for photo organization, RAW development, and image adjustments.
Light Forge is planned as the second Forge application: a photo library and RAW development workflow for photographers. Implementation is scheduled to begin only after Photo Forge reaches a release-readiness milestone. Until then, related work is limited to research and to shared imaging components that also serve Photo Forge.
