A professional-grade image and video editing application built with WPF frontend and C++ backend, featuring GPU-accelerated rendering and real-time adjustments.
- RAW image support via LibRaw
- Standard formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF) via WIC
- Real-time adjustments: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, white balance, vibrance, saturation, sharpness, noise reduction, vignette, grain, HSL
- 3D LUT filters (.cube files) for cinematic color grading
- GPU-accelerated processing
- Video format support (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV) via FFmpeg
- Real-time video playback with frame-by-frame rendering
- Video adjustments: all image adjustment parameters apply to video frames
- Video export to HEVC format
- Automatic thumbnail generation
- Modern WPF UI with dark theme
- Filmstrip view for navigation
- Interactive zoom and pan controls
- Real-time histogram display
