Keep the library local
Browse, create, import, and export schema-validated recipes without sending the archive or RAF files to a service.
Hardware-backed alphav0.1.0 · Creative system
LATENT
The camera becomes the look lab.
LATENT keeps recipes local, reads and restores custom slots, and renders RAF files through the physical Fujifilm pipeline so the image you judge comes from the camera itself.
Position / 01
The real pipeline, not an approximation.
A look is not only a list of settings. It is the result of a camera, a sensor, a processor, and a file. LATENT makes that physical chain part of the creative loop.
Camera loop / 02
Create, render, verify, restore.
Read before writing
Import camera-side custom slots first so the original state remains available if an experiment needs to be reversed.
Render through the camera
Send a known RAF to the connected body and judge the recipe through Fujifilm’s own image processor.
Write and verify
Send verified fields to a chosen slot, read them back, and restore the previous recipe when the result is not right.
Workspace / 03
Local software in contact with real hardware.
Recipe library and creator
Search, compare, duplicate, edit, import, and export a schema-backed library that works without a connected camera.
Connection as a system
WebUSB transport handles reconnects, sleep, unplug events, structured failures, and common macOS PTP collisions.
Safer camera writes
Backup, explicit slot selection, verified fields, read-back, and restore are treated as first-class operations.
Reusable protocol packages
Camera protocol, WebUSB transport, connection state, and recipe schemas live in separate MIT-licensed packages.
Current state / 04
