About

Ansel is a free, open-source photo-editing software originating from France, specifically designed for digital artists to achieve their unique interpretation of raw digital photographs. Available on Windows and Linux, it focuses on RAW image editing and encourages community involvement through features allowing users to suggest and vote on new functionalities, with its development hosted on GitHub (github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel). Despite its open-source nature and artistic focus, recent user experiences highlight significant operational challenges: its official website (ansel.photos) reportedly contains broken download links and triggers antivirus warnings for compromised web pages. Furthermore, users have reported an inability to contact the developer, suggesting potential abandonment or severe maintenance issues, which impacts its current usability and future prospects.
