Look a little closer.
Shift the focal plane after the photograph was taken. Move the slider, or use Point Focus to explore a subject.
Modern software for cameras abandoned by time.
A light field holds more than one way of seeing a moment. Lightfield Studio gives you the controls to explore it—without changing the original capture.

Exposure, color, curves, white balance and crop. A familiar editing workspace, built around your light fields.
Open your .LFR and .LFP captures in the desktop app. Export a 16-bit PNG master or a JPEG to share.
Lightfield Studio is an independent project with a simple idea:
the photographs you love should stay in your hands.
Yes. This demo reuses the v0.5.11 editor and runs its interactive preview renderer locally through WebAssembly. It is limited to the site’s curated sample. Full-resolution export and AI enhancement belong to the desktop application.
In the desktop app, yes. Open your Lytro .LFR or .LFP captures from individual files or folders. This website deliberately does not accept uploads or open files from your computer.
The browser demo downloads a prepared light-field sample and processes it on your device. The desktop app runs a local service and opens its interface in your browser. Your photo-editing workflow does not need a remote processing service.
Edits are non-destructive. The desktop app stores an edit recipe rather than overwriting your Lytro original. PNG and JPEG exports are separate images. Demo settings are saved only in this browser; Reset restores the original view.
These macOS builds are not Developer ID signed and notarized. macOS may block the first launch. Only approve a copy you trust and obtained from this site. The first-launch guide explains the per-app approval process; you do not need to disable Gatekeeper.
No. The browser preview uses only the site’s curated Lytro sample, when available. It never substitutes an AI-generated photograph. Optional AI super-resolution is a separate desktop feature and depends on runtime and GPU availability. It is not used to invent the demo photograph.
