The number that does the arguing — PhotoCraft opens and saves layered PSD and PSB.
134 of 135 real Photoshop documents round-trip byte for byte — their corpus is Photoshop-made PSDs, compared render-to-render.
The files prove it, not the copy.
The goods — all seven on one page · the source: 26 repos · the PSD corpus · the Discord
Bonus row — every app answers to a CLI, a JSON control channel and an MCP server.
🧰 PhotoCraft's spec sheet, and the six rules all seven apps are held to
- Version 0.2.0 · building it needs Rust 1.90+.
- Real layered files — opens and saves layered PSD and PSB; 134 of 135 real-world files round-trip byte for byte.
- Native GPU canvas — Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12 and WebGPU. No Electron, no web view.
- Non-destructive — 16 adjustment layers, 70+ live-preview filters, smart objects and smart filters.
- On-device selection, type, vectors, brushes, layer styles and masks.
Their six rules, in their words:
- Open source — “every line is on GitHub under permissive licenses. Read it, fork it, build on it.”
- Native, not wrapped — “pure Rust compiled to real desktop apps… no Electron, no web views.”
- Familiar from day one — “layouts, tools and shortcuts that working professionals already know.”
- Your files, your machine — “everything runs locally on your own files. No cloud round-trips.”
- Agent-ready — “drive every app from a CLI, a JSON control channel or an MCP server.”
- Also in your browser — six of the seven compile to WebAssembly and run in a tab.
More crafts are already queued — the studio is on GitHub with 26 public repos, and the Discord takes votes for what gets rebuilt next.
