Rawnd — Browser-based RAW Editor
Edit RAW photos in your browser — nothing uploaded
What it does
Most RAW converters upload your file to a server. Rawnd doesn't — the decoder is WebAssembly inside the page, so photos never leave your machine. Works offline as a PWA — nothing to install to try it, open a sample RAW from the landing page. Built with a Rust decoder compiled to wasm32, one WebGL2 shader for tone and color, and a GPU pass that measures chromatic aberration before any color processing touches the sensor data. Sort and develop a shoot, then export XMP sidecars into Lightroom.
Open, rate and develop CR3, NEF, ARW and twelve other RAW formats in your browser. Everything happens on your own computer - your photos never go anywhere.
Open the card, keep the frames that work, develop them, and walk away with files ready for Lightroom. Free to cull, no account, nothing to install — and your photographs never leave your computer. Rawnd runs on a desktop browser — it needs access to the folder your RAW files are in. Open this page on your computer. Your browser will ask permission to open the folder. Nothing leaves it — Rawnd has no server to send it to. Sent. Open it on your computer and you are two clicks from culling. We only send this once per address — check your spam folder if it does not appear. One email with the link, so it is there when you are next at a computer. One address, nothing else. One message, and…from rawnd.app

- IMI made presets for Darktable which mimic Fujifilm's Film SimulationsJan 2026 · jssfr.de · ▲6
Fujifilm cameras make really beautiful JPEGs thanks to their Film Simulation feature (where they mimic the look of certain analogue film types), but sometimes I want to do things for which you need the RAW files (like sharpening or local contrast effects or white balance fixes or whatever else would suffer under 8-bit/channel and/or JPEG artifacts). darktable is my RAW editor of choice, but it doesn't make your edits look like the out-of-camera JPEGs by default. Quite the contrary, the defaults generally need some love to bring out a nice edit of an image. To solve (pun intended)…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
