Lightroom AI Bridge

Lightroom AI Bridge is a macOS plug-in that lets AI agents drive Lightroom's Develop module. Claude moves the real sliders, renders the photo, looks at the result, and adjusts again, the way a careful editor works. Every change lands in your History panel as a normal, non-destructive step.

Ask in plain words, such as "open up the shadows" or "the sky is too cyan", or run the pro edit: one command takes the selected photo from flat RAW to finished, with a written brief, AI sky and subject masks, color grading, and a strict quality check at the end. It can also straighten and crop, carry one look across a whole set, and save the result as a real Lightroom preset.

For culling, it reviews a folder on contact sheets and flags the keepers. For thousands of frames it runs a two-stage funnel that judges the finalists at full size and writes every star rating to the right photo.

A built-in knowledge base learns your taste from your own corrections. It starts empty on purpose, so the more you edit, the closer the first attempt gets to yours.

Free and open source. The bridge talks only to Lightroom on your Mac, needs no account, and never touches your RAW files. Use it from Claude Code, any MCP client, or the command line.
