Gibbstone is a desktop-style application for comparing photographs, understanding image characteristics, and building practical Lightroom starting points. It is powered by a bundled browser runtime from Gibbstone Style Intelligence.
GSI analyzes more than metadata. It evaluates lighting, tone, colour, white balance, composition, mood, subject emphasis, visual flow, colour harmony, and tonal hierarchy so photographers can understand why an image feels the way it does.
Everything still runs locally in your browser. Your photos are not uploaded, and the analysis exists to explain photographic qualities rather than replace your judgment.
A one-person side project for matching the color and tone of one photo to another. You're welcome to use it. No one is watching.
Gibbstone reads lighting, tone, colour, white balance, mood, composition, subject emphasis, and colour harmony, then summarizes what it sees in plain photographic language.
Every pixel is processed inside your browser. Nothing uploads anywhere, nothing touches a server, nothing gets stored except in your own device's local storage — which is also where your saved "Looks" live. There is no database with your name on it. There is, in fact, no database. I promise this isn't the "free app" where you're secretly the product — there's no business model here at all, which is its own kind of honesty.
That's it. That's the whole manual. Go match some colors. And if something breaks, there's a quiet "Report it" link in the footer — I'd rather hear about it than have you assume it's just you. Curious why this exists at all? There's an "About" link down there too.
Gibbstone can use this later for package names, camera-specific files, and export defaults. You can match photos first and change this anytime.
AirDrop or email the files to your computer first, then in Lightroom Classic:
Tell me what happened — this opens your email app with the details already filled in, plus some harmless technical bits (browser, screen size) so I'm not troubleshooting blind. Your photos are never included; they never left your device in the first place.
