Overview

PhotoCraft is ArtCraft's open source image editor. It has layered editing, masks, adjustment layers, brushes, and PSD and PSB support, with desktop and browser builds available in early alpha.

About

PhotoCraft gives you the familiar parts of a desktop image editor without tying the work to an online account. You can build images with layers and masks, adjust color, paint, retouch, and open or save layered PSD and PSB files. Its selection tools and image processing run on your own machine. ArtCraft labels PhotoCraft an early alpha. There are builds for macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web. If you depend on complex Photoshop files, try a copy first and check the result before moving a live project.
