Lytro Sample LFP Files for Download

by markus · 2012-08-06

Some of you have asked us for raw samples of LFP-files, so you can play around with them before you get your own Lytro LightField Camera.
Update 2014-04-25: Please note that these files were recorded with Lytro’s 1st-Gen. Light Field Camera, not the new Lytro Illum.

The camera saves images in the LFP file format, such as IMG_0001.lfp. These files contain all the raw data and some additional Metadata.
When you import the images to the Lytro Desktop Software, files named according to the scheme IMG_0001-stk.lfp are created. These are basically your “developed” and compressed LightField pictures that allow for quick, resource-saving refocussing.

With these files and the right tools, you’ll be able to extract the raw photo data, metadata and stack JPEGs:

You can download the files here:

And how is it possible to import the Files to Lytro Desktop?

  These pictures were uploaded for use with external tools. We’ll have to see if we can create a dummy file to substitute direct import from the camera.

  Rufus – we’ve checked with Lytro and got permission to share a dataset that allows you to test them with Lytro Desktop: Lytro Desktop Dummy

Whenever I tried to import my pictures like you said to create the -stk.lfp files they would always remain normal .lfp pictures. Can you give me any more details on how to do that please? I use windows.

Hi I’m having trouble finding the -stk.lfp files. And when I tried to run lfpsplitter with a .lfp image, it returned an image filled with noise. Can someone give me a hand? Thanks
