A complete workspace for your photos. Organize, develop and make it yours. It learns how you edit, and everything stays on your computer.
Take a look insideHey, it’s free.
For real, no joke.
Crazy, right? If you like it, you can chip in €10 to keep the project alive. Totally up to you.
Years of edits shouldn’t keep you tied to one application. Bring your Lightroom Classic catalog and XMP edits into RedLnx, and keep working.
Import your organization and supported adjustments. Compatibility has limits, and we make them explicit. About migration ↗
REDLNXYOUR NEXT PHOTOGRAPHBring it over from Lightroom Classic and other supported catalogs, then find anything in it. Search the way you remember a photo, like “a hug at a wedding” or “my dog”. RedLnx finds it by what’s in the picture, right on your computer.
Catalog compatibility
Built by a working photographer.
Made for anyone with photographs to make.
The Console brings your workspace together. Pick up your photographs and get back to making them yours.
Folders, collections, ratings and smart filters. Find the shot, compare versions and keep a whole archive within reach.
Combine a semantic query with camera, lens, rating, flags and capture date. Save the query and it becomes a collection.
Open a photograph in the Collection preview, inspect the details and browse the shoot without losing your place.
Import your folders, or bring over a Lightroom Classic catalog with its organization and supported XMP adjustments. Keep it in sync while you move across.
Go through a whole shoot with picks, rejects, ratings and color labels, one key at a time. Copy settings across the keepers and edit them in batch.
Develop your RAWs with curves, color grading, lens corrections and retouching. Read the scopes, refine the details and keep your original intact.
Let RedLnx learn from the edits you’ve already made. Build your own style packs, apply them across a shoot and keep control of the result.
Train from Lightroom catalogs, XMP or your RedLnx library. You can also extract a look from finished JPEGs.
Export finished photographs from the same workspace. Choose your format, save an export recipe and add your own watermark.
See what’s inside
Low light is part of photography. Work on the noise in your RAW files with AI running on your own hardware.
RedLnx exists because other people shared their work.
That deserves more than a footnote.
Parts of RedLnx’s photo engine are Rust ports and adaptations of darktable’s algorithms. A huge debt to the people who built them.
EXPLORE DARKTABLE ↗A vital reference for the library and local machine learning, especially its use of CLIP. Reworked for RedLnx, with gratitude for the starting point.
EXPLORE IMMICH ↗We build on what’s shared. We share what we build.

A FEW PRACTICAL THINGS
Yes. Contributing supports development. It doesn’t buy a different edition or unlock tools.
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.
RedLnx imports Lightroom Classic catalogs and XMP edits. Supported adjustments carry across; some proprietary features and render differences need review. Read about migration.
No. You can organize, edit and export your photographs directly. Training is there when you want RedLnx to learn from your previous edits.
