Features
Everything in LaRay, one page at a time — the develop module, spot removal, and Pixel Studio for the retouching a recipe cannot describe. Each page explains what the control does, what it is for, and how to get the most out of it.
Non-destructive by design
Why your edit is a recipe rather than pixels, and what that buys: presets, batch consistency, reversibility and a preview you can trust.
Light
The six tonal sliders, a live histogram, and clipping indicators that tell you when you have gone too far.
Colour
Temperature and tint, a vibrance control that protects skin, and hue, saturation and luminance for eight colour bands.
Tone Curve
Composite and per-channel tone curves with monotone cubic interpolation, plus parametric region sliders.
Masking
Local adjustments: gradients, a brush, range selections and a wand, combined with boolean operations.
Colour Grading
Split-toning done properly: four wheels with hue, saturation and luminance, plus blending and balance.
Presence & Effects
Texture, clarity, dehaze, vignette and grain, from a cached blur pyramid that tone sliders never invalidate.
Detail
Sharpening with amount, radius, detail and masking, plus luminance and chroma noise reduction.
Spot Removal
Heal and clone spots that find their own source, follow the crop, and stay editable for ever.
Crop & Transform
Crop to a shape or a destination, straighten, rotate, flip, and keystone correction with an automatic Upright.
Optics
Distortion, chromatic aberration and defringing, each in the stage that has the information it needs.
Black & White
A treatment rather than a filter, with an eight-band mixer, so two colours of equal brightness need not become the same grey.
Presets & Copying Settings
Twenty-nine built-in looks, your own presets, copying settings between photographs, and sharing presets as files.
History & Snapshots
Undo, redo, a jumpable history, named snapshots, and a plain-language list of every active step.
Pixel Studio
Layered retouching in pixels — heal, clone, paint, fill, select, transform and text — saved as a new photograph beside the original.
Export
JPEG, PNG or TIFF at full resolution, with quality, size caps, watermarking, a filename template and a metadata policy.
