Scientific Film Density Inversion Workspace
Engineered for camera scanning and film scanners. Built on physical optical density inversion to eliminate cross-channel distortion, with roll-wide calibration and darkroom printer lights — entirely offline.
Inverted Positive
Negative Raw Scan Four Core Values Built for Film Photographers
Engineered to solve rapid positive correction, shift-free roll batching, medium-format archiving, and physical grading.
Instant Inversion & Shift-Free Batch
Instant base color detection and single-frame inversion; roll-wide benchmark sampling with shared white points to batch-invert 36 frames with zero color shifts.
Roll Archive & Contact Sheets
Intuitive 3-way import with multi-format filtering (135, APS, 120 645-6x17, large format), camera & date tags, and one-click realistic contact sheet generation.
60fps Printer Lights & Print LUTs
Faithful optical enlarger additive RGB printer light sliders; 4-channel tone curve, live waveform with clipping warning, and 14 built-in Kodak & Ilford .cube LUTs.
Optical Density Foundation & Air-Gap
Logarithmic optical density pipeline D = -log₁₀(T) with unified RAW/TIFF math; native Rust + local SQLite, strictly read-only source files, and zero cloud lock-in.
Engineered for Optical Darkroom Grading
No download required — interact directly with the native HTML/CSS/JS darkroom workspace. Test menus, switch views, drag printer lights & tone curves.
