I had a presentation about Lytro at Institute of Information Theory and Automation on the 13th of March 2012, for which the main source was the Ren’s disertation. Ing. Filip Šroubek, PhD. from the instute also supervised my master thesis in which I wrapped pretty much of this site.

Lytro Desktop (release notes for version 3, version 4 and version 5)
In Lytro.exe, change 0x16 to 0x17 at offset(s) in the last column to enable internal (and likely unsupported and/or untested) features. That gives you:
- raw view of metadata with the ability to jump to the picture file in the Windows Explorer (Internal menu)
- extra export formats (warp stack, package stack for upload, picture bundle and video sizes smaller than 720, plus adjustable xraw, animated gif and video size of 1440 since 5.0.0)
- depth map (Internal menu, not working since 4.0.0 - see and edit depth map on the Adjust tab instead)
- ability to fix old pictures for upload (Internal menu)
First Generation Firmware (release notes, install instructions)
ILLUM Firmware (release notes, install instructions)
