Do not mistake the interface for the product. DxO PhotoLab's durable value is editor polish, assets, algorithms, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build a powerful, highly-optimized local photo editing application inspired by the core capabilities of DxO PhotoLab, focusing on non-destructive RAW processing, advanced noise reduction, and precise local adjustments. Use exactly this stack: Tauri 2 (for cross-platform desktop capabilities), React, TypeScript, and WebGL/Canvas API for high-performance image rendering and processing. Primary job: Deliver a professional-grade photo editing workspace where users can import RAW and JPEG files, apply complex image corrections (exposure, contrast, white balance, geometry), perform targeted local adjustments using mask-based or control-point-like tools, and export the final images in standard formats without altering the original files. Key Requirements: 1. **Non-Destructive Workflow**: Implement an architecture where all edits are stored as a separate sidecar file (or local database entry) and applied in real-time during rendering. The original file must NEVER be modified. 2. **Advanced Image Processing Engine**: Use WebGL shaders or Rust-based WebAssembly modules to handle heavy image processing tasks such as demosaicing, sharpening, and an AI-inspired denoising algorithm (simulating DeepPRIME) that smooths out high-ISO noise while retaining edge detail. 3. **Local Adjustments (U-Point Inspiration)**: Create a tool that allows users to place control points or draw masks on specific areas of an image. Adjustments (like exposure or saturation) applied to these points should intelligently feather and blend based on color and luminance similarities in the surrounding pixels. 4. **Automated Corrections**: Provide a module that can apply basic geometric and lens corrections (vignetting, distortion) using predefined profiles or manual sliders. 5. **PhotoLibrary Management**: Include a lightweight digital asset management (DAM) feature. Users should be able to browse local folders, view EXIF metadata, rate images, and filter their collection. 6. **Polished Interface**: Design a dark-mode, professional UI with a central canvas, a filmstrip for the current folder on the bottom, and a scrollable adjustment panel on the right. Include clear visual indicators for before/after comparisons and clipping warnings (shadows/highlights). Security & Privacy: - The app must function entirely offline. - Store all user preferences and edit history locally. Do not add analytics, telemetry, or require cloud accounts. Testing & Packaging: - Write comprehensive unit tests for the non-destructive edit state manager and the image processing pipeline. - Include an end-to-end smoke test validating the import-edit-export loop. - Provide a detailed README explaining the architecture, how to build the Tauri app, and limitations regarding hardware acceleration.
