PhotoCraft is an open-source image editor written entirely in Rust as a clean-room reimplementation of familiar Photoshop workflows. It supports layers, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles, text, vectors, brushes, and real PSD files. A GPU compositor built on wgpu targets Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12, and WebGPU. Copy-on-write tiles and multithreaded filters help keep editing responsive. Its engine can be controlled through the desktop UI, CLI, JSON control channel, or MCP server for agent automation. Builds are available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web. The project is still in early alpha and is actively working toward broader Photoshop parity.
