PhotoCraft
Overview
PhotoCraft is an open-source, native image editor: "Image editing; an open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Adobe Photoshop, rebuilt in pure Rust" (README.md:13), dual-licensed MIT/Apache-2.0, from the storytold org (repo storytold/photocraft). The desktop app is egui/eframe on wgpu with a CPU compositor as the reference oracle; the same Rust compiles to WebAssembly for the browser build (apps/photocraft-web, Cargo.toml wasm-release profile, cargo xtask wasm). Everything user-visible is an engine command, so the UI, photocraft-cli, the JSON control channel and the MCP server run the same code (README.md:226, crates/engine/src/commands.rs). Maturity is early alpha: ~76% feature breadth, ~45% "ready for real work" measured against Photoshop 2026 at 0.6.0, 953 open issues (2026-10-13) (ROADMAP.md:5-30, docs/target-app-parity.md); the six-workflow alpha gate passes (docs/roadmap.md "Alpha gate"). Every Photoshop menu item is wired — 631/631 live, enforced by FLOOR = 631 (crates/ui-egui/src/parity.rs:10) — but wiring is not behaviour. The source inspected here is tag v0.12.0 (commit 6a2d027ee2e7ca12afd248544ed2262b0fa078dd, 2026-10-21), exactly the installed /Applications/PhotoCraft.app.
