LunaLux Photo Editor

LunaLux Editor is a focused darkroom for anyone who wants an honest film look on their digital photos — and for photographers who work from scanned film. Open a folder and start. Every adjustment is saved as a small recipe file beside your photo; your originals are never modified, converted or imported into a library. Move the folder and the edits travel with it. Two sample photographs are included, so every tool works the moment you open the app. TEN FILM RECIPES Warm portrait tones, airy pastels, punchy consumer colour, vivid reversal looks, daylight and tungsten cinema stocks, and two black-and-white classics. Dial any of them back or up with the strength slider, fine-tune, and save the result as your own recipe. MATCH A LOOK Found a photo whose colour you love? Pick it — from your library, a file, or another frame of the same roll — and an on-device model builds an editable set of adjustments that brings your photo toward it: white balance, tone, curves, HSL and colour wheels. Set the strength, keep tone or colour only, then fine-tune like any other edit. Nothing leaves your device. FILM REBATES & BORDERS Full sprocket overlays, 35mm and 120 rebates, instant-film and gallery mattes, with a film-stock label, frame number, DX barcode or an EXIF watermark set in typewriter type. GRAIN, HALATION & FILM PHYSICS Red-channel halation with its own radius and threshold, black-mist bloom, silver-halide grain with size, roughness and dye-cloud controls, light leaks and scanner dust — each on its own, or off. PRECISION COLOUR & TONE Dehaze cuts through a grey sky, or adds atmosphere back. An 8-channel HSL mixer, three-way colour wheels, master and per-channel RGB curves over a live histogram, linear and radial masks, and an on-device subject mask by Apple Vision. COMPOSITION, PERSPECTIVE & DUST Free crop or locked ratios from 1:1 to 65:24, one-click horizon correction, and vertical and horizontal perspective correction that straightens leaning buildings and crops cleanly. A healing brush with a reveal mode exposes dust, fingerprints and scratches before you export. EDIT RIGHT INSIDE PHOTOS On iPhone and iPad, open any picture in the Photos app, tap Edit and choose LunaLux: film recipes with strength, light, dehaze, colour, curves, grain and halation. The result is saved back to the photo, can be reverted any time, and HDR photos stay HDR. THE WHOLE ROLL Rate, flag and filter, copy edits between frames or sync one look across the roll in one pass. Crop and dust removal stay unchecked by default, so one frame's repair never overwrites another's. NEGATIVE LAB & INVERSION Shooting film too? Remove the orange base mask from colour negative scans and restore accurate colour frame by frame. One toggle — leave it off for digital work. BUILT FOR BIG FILES, READY FOR HDR JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, PNG and camera RAW through a 16-bit wide-gamut pipeline, Metal-accelerated on Apple Silicon. HDR photos — with a gain map or as HDR HEIC — open, edit and export as HDR, with a live waveform and a real headroom readout. Export JPEG, HEIC, 16-bit TIFF or PNG in sRGB, Display P3 or Adobe RGB, including true Ultra HDR JPEG. ONE PURCHASE, MAC, IPAD AND IPHONE The same darkroom on all three, bought once. Recipes travel inside the roll folder. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking. Available in English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French and Spanish. —— LunaLux Editor Pro is an optional one-time purchase. Without it, some exports begin with a 30-second countdown and then go ahead for free: ones that use UltraHDR, film rebates or sprockets, a custom stamp, negative inversion, subject or local masks, light leaks or dust & scratches; 16-bit TIFF exports; batches of more than 10 photos; and the odd export after your first 20. Pro removes the wait and adds a PRO badge. Every editing and export feature is free for everyone.
