A simple proof-of-concept library demonstrating a way to read sharable Lytro Picture Files (*-stk.lpf) with PHP and a sample light-weight JavaScript viewer. Everything you need to create your own self-hosted Lytro image gallery/photoviewer.

I hoped you could figure this out for yourself, but some examples:

• You could resize (or crop) images!
• You can add effects on images! (e.g. Black & White)
• Self-hosted, no pictures.lytro.com

This is just a proof of concept, which I will continue to update for a while, that you could implement in your own projects or create plugins with. Just imagine it; let's say you want to create a WordPress plugin that you could use to host your own Lytro photos on your (photo)blog. Now you can!

It's still a concept so it is still buggy, also because PHP isn't the fastest language I implemented a caching system so you'd need to configure a cache directory (which needs to be writable) when using the script. But that's the worst part.

While it is experimental, I will keep updating this repo for at least a little while.

I've based this proof-of-concept PHP library on lfptools which has been quite useful in understanding the LPF-format.
