Today I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on alongside the next chapter of Photoflare – meet Photoflare Lens, a free RAW image editor now available as a v1.0 Beta.
What is Lens?
Lens is a fast, lightweight RAW viewer built for photographers who want a clean, no-fuss way to review and develop their shots. It supports 700+ camera models via LibRaw – Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and many more. Whatever you shoot with, Lens has you covered.
Key features
- Non – destructive develop pipeline with adjustments saved to XMP sidecar files.
- Crop & straighten with auto-fill and auto-straighten.
- Smooth zoom & pan, drag & drop, file navigation.
- Fast file browsing through entire shoots.
Why XMP sidecars?
Your original RAW files are never touched. All adjustments are saved alongside your files as industry-standard XMP sidecars, keeping your workflow clean and your originals safe.
This is a Beta
Lens is a work in progress – there will be rough edges and the odd bug. That’s exactly why I’m sharing it now. If you find something broken, or have feedback on the workflow, I’d love to hear from you.
Download
Lens is free. Grab the beta from the link below and let me know what you think.
What’s next?
This is just the beginning. There’s more coming from Photoflare later this year – stay tuned.
