Add real film grain, real film borders, halation, and true lab color to your photos with an editor built for analog finishing.
theLAB is a film-inspired photo editor for building finished images with color, texture, and scan character.
Import an image, then shape it with film looks, scanned grain, lab-style color, halation, borders, paper textures, light leaks, artifacts, and crop tools.
Designed for photographers who want more than a simple filter, theLAB gives you hands-on control over the feel of the image: density, warmth, tone bias, grain range, scan character, border placement, and finishing details.
Features include:
- Film-inspired color and monochrome looks
- Scanned grain and cinema-style grain options
- Lab scan profiles and scan correction controls
- Halation, scanner noise, borders, textures, light leaks, and artifacts
- Camera capture, photo import, file import, and share tools
- Saved looks for building a repeatable editing style
theLAB includes a free editing mode. theLAB Pro unlocks the full film stock library, advanced lab controls, additional grain scans, premium finishing assets, and high-quality export options.

Fixed an issue that could cause images exported as PNG to be saved as JPEG. PNG exports now use the correct lossless format and preserve the appropriate bit depth for the source image.
