LibRaw's half-size demosaic was on. The Ricoh GR's own DNG (D0004128.DNG) developed to 3010x2012 while the JPEG written beside it in the same second is 6000x4000, and the Fuji's RAF to 3008x2007 against its own 6000x4000 -- the quarter was the flag, not the file. With `halfSize: false` the same develop returns 6020x4024 and it is the sensor's frame on every body tried: D0004128.DNG 6020x4024 IMGP6916.DNG 6028x4024 DSCF1701.RAF 6016x4014 _DSC0009.ARW 6024x4024 AFXT2721.RAF 6246x4170 Nikon-D850 NEF 6216x4136 _GDN0447.NEF 4284x2844 P1010607.RW2 3472x3472 5G4A9396.CR2 2880x1920 Nine files, 27s to 155s a develop on one core. Checked through the app itself, not only through LibRaw: photo-dims 6020x4024 on the DNG against 6000x4000 on the JPEG, both err none. The colour it opens with is now fitted per file to the preview the camera wrote into it (previewMatch.ts): a 3x3 over a block grid of the develop against the same grid of that preview, then one cubic a channel for what the 3x3 leaves. The offline per-body table this replaces (cameraMatch.ts) stopped matching the moment the path under it changed -- its rows no longer summed to 1 once the highlight knee landed ahead of it -- and a body with a row opened with a cast one without did not. The file's own preview does not age. The white level the gain carries is the frame's own plateau rather than `maximum` (sensorWhite.ts), a factor of 1.89 to 2.00 out; without it every frame opened a stop bright and a body that sat lower (X-Trans, 1.892) never reached the highlight desaturation at all. The desaturation gate reads the gain-lifted levels as well as the sensor's, which is the whole of the magenta: on a body whose cam_mul lifts red and blue (the GR's [2.64, 1, 1.73]) a blown sky crosses the white level at 0.38 of the raw range in red while green crosses at 1.0, so a gate read on the sensor's levels alone stayed shut across it. Measured in the app against the camera's own JPEG, mean dRGB over a 16x16 block grid: +1.20, -5.95, -6.11 with the sensor's clip alone, +0.21, +0.24, +0.47 with both, mean |dL| 21.5 against 10.3. The same grid on the Fuji comes back balanced (+4.7, +5.0, +3.6) and best aligned at offset 0,0. -HL is recovery and +HL is a lift, so they are different moves now: recovery is the doc's soft knee in linear light over the top half, which is the only term in the tone shader that is not a shift and the only one that can put detail back into a blown sky rather than merely darken it. The four checks pin the develop down where it can only run in a browser: raw-develop-check, preview-match-check, white-level-check, highlight-knee-check.
RecipesCam web — self-contained stack
A Docker-hosted web build of RecipesCam. Everything it needs is in this folder: move it to another machine, run two commands, and the app is up. It does not need the React Native project around it.
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
What runs where
| Service | Image | Role |
|---|---|---|
frontend |
nginx:1.27-alpine (built by frontend/Dockerfile) |
Static SPA + /api/ reverse proxy |
api |
node:22-slim (built by backend/Dockerfile) |
Accounts + saved recipes, SQLite on ./data |
frontend resolves api through Docker's embedded DNS and proxies /api/* to
it — that is why the API container is named api and why it is not published on
the host. Only ${WEB_PORT:-8090} is exposed.
Photos never leave the browser. The CanvasKit render pipeline (grade, frame, watermarks, JPEG encode) runs in the visitor's tab; the API only stores recipes as JSON.
Layout
docker-compose.yml the stack
.env.example WEB_PORT
data/ SQLite (created on first run, gitignored)
backend/ Fastify + better-sqlite3 API, own Dockerfile
frontend/ Vite + React + CanvasKit SPA, own Dockerfile + nginx.conf
shared/ vendored copies of the app's types + utils (see below)
src/engine/ skiaShim.ts (CanvasKit) + exportEngine.ts (render pipeline)
+ session.ts (localStorage/IndexedDB studio persistence)
Vendored files
frontend/shared/{types/index.ts,utils/*.ts} are byte-identical copies of
src/types/index.ts and ten src/utils/*.ts files from the React Native
project (@shopify/react-native-skia is aliased to src/engine/skiaShim.ts in
vite.config.ts + tsconfig.json, so those files compile unchanged):
cinemaShader colorUtils defaultRecipes exifWrite frameUtils jpegDpi
paramDefs recipeShare skiaImage toneShader.
The landing page needs no CDN: frontend/public/assets/fonts/*.woff2 are the
seven self-hosted faces behind the three font groups the Themes menu offers
(Plus Jakarta Sans / Inter / JetBrains Mono, Fraunces / Be Vietnam Pro /
Courier Prime, Be Vietnam Pro / Space Mono — all SIL OFL, pulled from Google
Fonts, vietnamese + latin + latin-ext subsets), and
frontend/public/assets/samples/s*.jpg are the six placeholder negatives the
film strip, preset tester and QR card show (swap them for real graded stills
whenever we have them). Its one foreign request is the QR image from
api.qrserver.com, which degrades to an empty slot offline.
When the app changes one of them, copy it back in — the renderer is only "parity" for as long as these stay in sync:
cd <repo>/docker/frontend/shared/utils
cp <repo>/src/utils/<name>.ts .
Operations
docker compose logs -f api # API log
docker compose restart api # after backend/src changes (rebuild: --build)
docker compose down # stop; ./data survives
Backup is the ./data folder — that is the whole database.
Checks
curl -s http://localhost:8090/api/health # {"ok":true}
curl -sI http://localhost:8090/ # 200, index.html
Then open the UI, drop a photo in, and confirm the preview shows the picture and
EXPORT downloads a JPEG that opens. The preview going solid black while the
export still reports a plausible size is the one failure mode worth knowing: it
means the CanvasKit GPU surfaces lost their shared GrDirectContext (see
frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts), and with no GPU the raster fallback renders
the same pipeline correctly, just slower.
