About

My name is Kornél Lehőcz. I'm a programmer coming from a game development background, where I mainly worked on 3D rendering, visual effects and plug-ins. In the past few years, one of my hobbies has been photography. This has inspired me to take an interest in the algorithms used to make the most out of digital camera images.

I currently live in Zadar on the beautiful Croatian coast.

Scarab Labs is my venture into image processing software development. I'm committed to creating some really cool applications in this field. Scarab Labs's first product was a filter plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, but I also have a more ambitious project under development: Scarab Darkroom, a fast and easy-to-use raw converter and photo editor.

Scarab Darkroom started as a hobby project in 2006. In 2008 I decided to quit my daytime job to work on the software full-time. Since then it has grown to about 50.000 lines of code. I intend to develop it into a full-featured raw converter/photo editor. I plan to use a freemium model and would like to ask not just everyone who uses it for professional purposes to purchase the upcoming Pro version, but also those, who simply like the project and would like to support its ongoing development.
