Could you build this?
No A non-destructive RAW photo editor like Lightroom requires complex low-level color science, demosaicing pipelines, and hardware-accelerated image processing.
What it would actually take: Building a Lightroom alternative requires low-level C++/Rust code utilizing libraries like LibRaw, LittleCMS, and GPU compute (Vulkan/Metal/OpenCL) for real-time pipeline operations (demosaicing, white balance, lens correction, tone curves, noise reduction). High performance demands custom tile-based rendering caches and deep expertise in digital signal processing, colorimetry, and cross-platform desktop UI frameworks.
