06 / BUILT ON SHARED WORK

Thank you, darktable.
Thank you, Immich.

RedLnx exists because other people shared their work.
That deserves more than a footnote.

darktable

Parts of RedLnx’s photo engine are Rust ports and adaptations of darktable’s algorithms. A huge debt to the people who built them.

A vital reference for the library and local machine learning, especially its use of CLIP. Reworked for RedLnx, with gratitude for the starting point.

ONE PERSON BEHIND REDLNX

Hi, I’m Daniele.

I photograph concerts, events and weddings. I’m also the person building RedLnx.

I wanted tools I could own and use for my work. So I started making them. If they’re useful to you too, that’s the point.

A FEW PRACTICAL THINGS

Before you
jump in.

Is the free download the complete application?

Yes. Contributing supports development. It doesn’t buy a different edition or unlock tools.

Do my photos leave my computer?

Editing, style training and AI processing run locally. There is no photo upload service or telemetry. Installing runtime components and checking for updates can require an internet connection.

Can I bring my Lightroom work?

RedLnx imports Lightroom Classic catalogs and XMP edits. Supported adjustments carry across; some proprietary features and render differences need review. Read about migration.

Do I need to train a style to use RedLnx?

No. You can organize, edit and export your photographs directly. Training is there when you want RedLnx to learn from your previous edits.

Your photography.
Your freedom.
