A develop bench
This editor covers the adjustments photographers actually reach for: exposure, contrast, highlight recovery and shadow lift, white balance, saturation and vibrance — plus crop, rotate and straighten. Every control is non-destructive: the sliders describe a recipe, the recipe is applied to your original pixels only when you export, and Reset always takes you back to the untouched frame.
One-click Auto-enhance reads the photograph's histogram and sets honest slider positions — levels, adaptive brightness, a careful white-balance nudge that knows better than to neutralise a sunset. You can see exactly what it decided and pull any slider back. Color looks are applied as real 3D LUTs: use the built-in destination looks or import any standard .cube file from your own collection.
Like every Darkroom tool, the editor runs entirely in your browser. Files open straight from your device — including HEIC from an iPhone and the embedded previews inside RAW files — and JPEG exports keep your EXIF and copyright in the file, at full resolution, with no watermark and no account.
