Photoshop
Photoshop is a professional image editing and processing software developed by Adobe, widely used in graphic design, photography post-processing, digital painting, and visual creative work. Core features include layer management, color correction, image compositing, retouching, and content-aware fill, with support for a broad range of image formats. It is one of the most widely adopted professional tools among designers, photographers, and visual artists.
Core Facts
Adobe integrates AI as a built-in feature of Photoshop and Illustrator within Firefly.
Photocraft is an open-source image tool benchmarked against Photoshop, with the project fully open-source and free.
PhotoCraft is not meant to replace professional tools like Photoshop; its value lies in providing an open-source, controllable, privacy-friendly image editing option.
Timeline (last 90 days)
ArtCraft has reports of Smart Objects behaving abnormally, crashing when importing large numbers of video clips, and only 5 of 30 filter tests matching Photoshop's output; Thomas has retracted his promise of "full alignment within a month."
A single developer, with just one Claude subscription, used AI to decompile and clean-room rebuild Photoshop, and is offering a free alternative to an Adobe enterprise-grade software that costs $100 a month.
The RTX Spark 7 works deeply with software such as Photoshop and Blender, supports local AI inference, and requires no paying for cloud tokens.
PhotoCraft is not suitable for professional design workflows requiring complex layer editing and fine color management, and its current capabilities cannot replace Photoshop-level tools.
PhotoCraft is not meant to replace professional tools like Photoshop; its value lies in providing an open-source, controllable, privacy-friendly image editing option.
Image editors have become a popular target for vibe coding because Photoshop, as an industry benchmark, provides a clear reference target, and AI code generation performs better in scenarios where there is a benchmark to reference.
Photoshop's smart objects and adjustment layers, as well as Lightroom's parametric editing, are examples of non-destructive editing.
Large language models have encountered vast amounts of Photoshop-related tutorials, source code, and UI descriptions in their training data, and are therefore able to generate structurally sound related code with relatively high confidence.
A growing number of developers are leveraging AI-assisted programming to rapidly build Photoshop-like web-based image editors.
Casey Muratori argues that for software like Photoshop the legal threat from AI cloning is far greater than for games, because it can potentially be decompiled with byte-for-byte precision and byte-for-byte copying is often used as a marketing talking point.
