## Feature status
LightCraft is young and moving fast; see the [roadmap](ROADMAP.md) for estimates. The detailed, row-by-row
Lightroom parity tracker (every feature, menu item and shortcut with its status, evidence and the top gaps) is
[docs/parity.md](docs/parity.md).
LightCraft is young and moving fast. **Where we honestly stand** (details in the [roadmap](ROADMAP.md#where-we-stand)):
- **By feature count we're at ~79%** of Lightroom (core features 98%), tracked row by row in
[docs/parity.md](docs/parity.md).
- **As a day-to-day Lightroom replacement we're nearer 60–70%.** It's great for JPEG/DNG and most Nikon / Sony /
older-Canon raws on one machine.
- **The biggest gaps:**
- **camera colour calibration:** raws other than DNG develop with a neutral colour matrix today, so colour is muted;
- **CR3 and compressed Fujifilm / Olympus raws:** these open as embedded previews only;
- **AI masks and denoise:** subject and sky selection are classical heuristics;
- **HDR, video and the Classic Print / Book / Map modules.**
- **What's next:** see [where we're going](ROADMAP.md#where-were-going).

projects (DrawCraft reached its first four milestones in ≈ 4½ h) and are revised as milestones land.
## Where we stand
*Honest assessment, 2026-10-05. Agents: read this before picking work. The checklist in
[`docs/parity.md`](docs/parity.md) counts features that **exist**; this section is about whether a photographer can
**switch** from Lightroom. Update it when a gap below closes.*
**In one line:** the checklist says **79%** (P0 98.5%, P1 95.9%, P2 39%), but measured by whether a working
photographer could replace Lightroom without noticing, we are at roughly **60–70%**. The remaining gap is mostly
**quality of results and camera coverage**, not missing buttons.
Caveat on the checklist: ✅ is set by whoever lands a feature, and nobody has systematically checked rows against
Lightroom's behaviour or output. Bugs keep turning up in ✅ areas (CR2 colour-filter phase on some Canon models #85,
duplicate Local entries #22, black GPU exports on an Intel iGPU #78).
### By dimension
| Dimension | Estimate | What's true today | Biggest gaps |
|---|---:|---|---|
| **Feature checklist** | 79% | P0 core and P1 nearly complete: import (Add / Copy / Move, templates, devices), library, grid/loupe/compare/survey, every Edit slider, curves, colour grading, masking tools, crop/Upright, heal/clone, presets/profiles, versions/history, sync, export, menus, shortcuts | P1: lens-profile database, content-aware fill (patch synthesis), video playback/trim |
| **RAW coverage** (formats people shoot) | ~50% | DNG (all kinds), CR2, ARW, NEF (uncompressed + Huffman lossless/lossy), uncompressed RAF/ORF, packed RW2, PEF; every container's embedded preview (incl. CR3) | **CR3** (every Canon since ~2018), compressed RAF/ORF, RW2 v4, Nikon lossy-after-split, Canon sRAW, HEIC/AVIF. Per-model verification is thin (~40 corpus files vs >1,000 models) |
| **Colour & image quality** | ~55–65% | Pipeline is complete and fast; GPU path CPU-exact within 1/255 | **No camera colour calibration**: non-DNG raws use a neutral matrix, so colour is muted/inaccurate. No lens-profile database. No measured fidelity against Lightroom (tone, highlights, texture/clarity, NR, sharpening are tuned by eye) |
| **AI & computational** | ~15–20% | Assisted culling (focus, bursts), auto tone, HDR/panorama merge; subject/sky/background masks as classical heuristics | Real segmentation masks (subject, sky, people, objects, landscape, depth), AI denoise, super resolution, lens blur, generative remove, faces/people, natural-language search. **Blocked on a model strategy** (licensable weights or our own training; pure-Rust inference is feasible) |
| **Workflow & library** | ~85% (single machine) | Robust catalog (journal + snapshots, background compaction, crash-tested), 85k-photo libraries stay responsive, Local browsing with automatic cleanup, XMP interop, keywords, smart albums, Move import | Opening an 85k library takes 1.7–4.7 s; no cloud sync (out of scope), no tablet companion (#74, roadmap), shared albums, publish services, tethering |
| **Classic modules** | ~30% | Geotagging from GPX track logs, soft proofing (partial), slideshow (basic) | **Map view, Book, Print, Slideshow module, Web, publish services**: ~40 tracker rows ⬜ |
| **HDR & video** | 0% | | HDR edit/display/export; video play/trim/edit/export |
| **Platform & robustness** | ~70% | macOS native; Windows/Linux builds; web via WASM; no-panic lints workspace-wide, `unsafe` confined to `crates/sysmem`; failed saves are reported; GPU errors fall back to CPU | Windows installer UI unverified on Windows (PR #79); GPU path proven only on Apple + user reports; no localisation; accessibility partial; headless UI tests time out under machine load |
### By kind of user
| User | Readiness | What blocks them |
|---|---:|---|
| JPEG / DNG shooter, single machine | ~85% | Fidelity polish, AI masks |
| Nikon / Sony / older-Canon raw shooter | ~65% | Camera colour (muted colour on every photo) |
| Canon CR3 / Fujifilm / Olympus shooter | ~35% | Their raws open as embedded previews only |
| Lightroom Classic power user | ~45% | Print, Book, Map, publish, tethering |
| Relies on AI (masks, denoise) | ~25% | No segmentation or AI denoise models |
## Where we're going
Priorities, in order. Each points at tracker rows in [`docs/parity.md`](docs/parity.md) → *Top gaps*.
1. **Camera colour calibration of our own** (LR-PROF-CAMERACOLOR, P0): fit each camera to its own embedded JPEG, use
matrices the files carry themselves, then chart shots. Raises colour quality for every non-DNG raw at once.
2. **Raw formats, clean-room** (LR-IMP-FORMATS, P0): **CR3** first, then compressed RAF / ORF, RW2 v4, NEF
lossy-after-split, sRAW. Decided 2026-10-05: write our own decoders from prose descriptions (never decoder source,
no LGPL dependency); compressed NEF (#86) is the template.
3. **Verified camera coverage** (LR-IMP-CAMERA-COVERAGE, P0): a CC0 sample per model in the corpus, each decoded and
checked for plausible colour; fix per-model bugs (#85).
4. **Render fidelity suite** (LR-BEHAV-RENDER-FIDELITY, P1): measure our output against Lightroom on the same CC0 raws
(references stay in the local `plan/`), then tune against the numbers.
5. **Lens profiles of our own** (LR-EDIT-OPTICS-PROFILE, P1).
6. **AI model strategy** (maintainer decision): which permissively licensed models (or our own training) for
segmentation masks and denoise; then pure-Rust inference. Unblocks M12 and Enhance.
7. **Then:** HDR (Q), the Classic output modules (Print first, then Map view, Book, Slideshow), video (R), localisation
and accessibility.
Already closed in the week of 2026-10-03: compressed NEF (#10), Move import (#29), per-library smart-preview folder,
Local roots / cleanup, grid and catalog performance at 85k photos (#35, #37), failed-save reporting, GPU export
hardening (#78), copyright metadata (#51), GPX geotagging (#60), import tag help and folder templates (#31, #32).

## Top gaps
Ordered by tier, then user value, then (low) effort. Take the first one nobody is working on.
Ordered by user impact, then tier, then effort. The checklist above counts features that *exist*; these are the gaps
that decide whether a photographer can switch (see the honest assessment in [ROADMAP.md](../ROADMAP.md#where-we-stand)).
Take the first one nobody is working on.
1. **LR-IMP-FORMATS** (P0) — CR3, compressed RAF/ORF, RW2 v4, Nikon "lossy after split" NEF (preview only today:
such photos are marked `preview_only` and the UI says they are edited from the camera's embedded JPEG); HEIC/AVIF
decode (no permissive pure-Rust decoder yet). High value, high effort (clean sources needed).
2. **LR-EDIT-OPTICS-PROFILE** (P1) — a lens-profile database of our own (embedded DNG/maker corrections work today).
1. **LR-PROF-CAMERACOLOR** (P0): our own camera colour calibration. Every non-DNG raw is developed with a neutral
matrix today, so colours are muted. Start by fitting each camera to its own embedded JPEG and using matrices the
files carry themselves; never Adobe data.
2. **LR-IMP-FORMATS** (P0): **CR3** first (every Canon body since ~2018), then compressed RAF / ORF, RW2 v4, Nikon
"lossy after split" NEF, Canon sRAW; HEIC/AVIF decode. Clean-room, from prose descriptions only (see
`crates/raw/src/vendor/nefc.rs` for how compressed NEF was done). Until decoded, such photos are `preview_only`.
3. **LR-IMP-CAMERA-COVERAGE** (P0): per-model verification; grow the CC0 corpus and fix per-model bugs like the CR2
colour-filter phase (#85).
4. **LR-BEHAV-RENDER-FIDELITY** (P1): a side-by-side fidelity suite against Lightroom renders (kept local in `plan/`),
then tune tone, highlights, texture/clarity/dehaze, NR and sharpening against it.
5. **LR-EDIT-OPTICS-PROFILE** (P1): a lens-profile database of our own (embedded DNG/maker corrections work today).
6. **AI masks and Enhance** (LR-MASK-SUBJECT / SKY / PEOPLE / OBJECTS, LR-EDIT-DETAIL-DENOISE, SUPERRES, LENSBLUR):

Missing: CR3, compressed RAF/ORF, RW2 v4, NEF "lossy after split" (preview only: imported with `preview_only` = the decoder's reason, rendered as a rendered JPEG, flagged by a grid badge and loupe/Edit/Info notices, `previewOnly` in `catalog.query`; Reload clears it once the file decodes), HEIC/AVIF decode |
| LR-IMP-CAMERA-COVERAGE | Camera coverage, verified per model | P0 | 🟡 | `crates/raw/tests/corpus.rs`, `xtask/src/main.rs` | a supported container is not the same as every camera that writes it decoding correctly: ~40 CC0 corpus files (plus ~60 NEFs checked by hand) against the >1,000 models Lightroom lists; per-model differences still surface (e.g. the CR2 colour-filter phase on EOS 7D / 550D / 5D Mark II, issue #85). Grow the CC0 corpus per model and test each sample decodes with plausible colour |

Undo removes the photos from the library but leaves the moved files at the destination. No Copy as DNG while moving |

| LR-PROF-CAMERACOLOR | Camera colour calibration (own) | P0 | 🟡 | `crates/raw/src/color.rs` | DNG files use the colour matrices they carry; every other raw uses a neutral fallback (camera RGB ≈ linear sRGB, `matrix_is_fallback`) with as-shot white balance, so colours are muted and not accurate. Needs our own per-camera calibration: matrices the files carry themselves (e.g. Olympus `ColorMatrix`), fitting each camera to its own embedded JPEG, then chart shots. Adobe matrices / DCPs are never used. Biggest image-quality gap today |
| LR-PROF-CREATIVE | Creative profiles (own) | P2 | ✅ | `cmd:develop.profile`, `crates/pipeline/src/profiles.rs` | 16 own looks in Film / Cinematic / Muted / B&W (tone + point-curve fades, colour grading, mixer / B&W mix); scale with `ctl:profile.amount`; sliders untouched |

Needs a fidelity suite: Lightroom reference renders kept only in the local `plan/` (never committed), compared per slider and preset with a perceptual metric |
