PhotoCraft
An open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Adobe Photoshop
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. -

LightCraft
Reimplementation of Adobe Lightroom in pure Rust
LightCraft is an open-source photo library and raw-development application written in pure Rust as a clean-room alternative to Lightroom-style workflows. It combines image organization with nondestructive photo editing in one native application. Adjustments include exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, and local tone processing. Rendering uses a scene-referred, wide-gamut, 32-bit floating-point pipeline designed to preserve color and highlight detail. Original files remain untouched while edits are applied as reversible development settings. The application runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux and can also operate in the browser through WebAssembly. Its engine is designed so AI agents can drive workflows end to end through MCP. -

Upscayl
Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows
Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows built with Linux-First philosophy. Upscayl is a cross-platform application built with the Linux-first philosophy. This means that we prioritize Linux builds over others but that doesn't mean we'll break things for other OSes. Upscayl does not work without a GPU, sorry. You'll need a Vulkan-compatible GPU to upscale images. CPU or iGPU won't work. You can also download the flatpak version and double-click the flatpak file to install via Store but wait for the full release, we'll be pushing it to Flathub for easy access. Upscayl uses AI models to enhance your images by guessing what the details could be. It uses Real-ESRGAN (and more in the future) model to achieve this. The CLI tool is called real-esrgan-ncnn-vulkan and it's available on the Real-ESRGAN repository. -

GIMP ML
AI for GNU Image Manipulation Program
This repository introduces GIMP3-ML, a set of Python plugins for the widely popular GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). It enables the use of recent advances in computer vision to the conventional image editing pipeline. Applications from deep learning such as monocular depth estimation, semantic segmentation, mask generative adversarial networks, image super-resolution, de-noising and coloring have been incorporated with GIMP through Python-based plugins. Additionally, operations on images such as edge detection and color clustering have also been added. GIMP-ML relies on standard Python packages such as numpy, scikit-image, pillow, pytorch, open-cv, scipy. In addition, GIMP-ML also aims to bring the benefits of using deep learning networks used for computer vision tasks to routine image processing workflows. -

RestorePhotos.io
Restoring old and blurry face photos with AI
RestorePhotos.io is an AI web app for restoring old, blurry, or low-quality face photos and bringing them back to life. It wraps the GFPGAN model (served via Replicate) behind a friendly Next.js front end, so non-technical users can upload an image and receive an enhanced version without ever touching ML code. The workflow is straightforward: you upload a photo, the serverless API route sends it to Replicate, and the restored image is returned and displayed in the UI. The project is production-oriented, not just a toy: it uses Bytescale for storage and image processing, Vercel for hosting and serverless functions, Auth.js + Neon for authentication and database, and Upstash Redis for rate limiting. This combination makes it a good blueprint for building real-world AI apps that must deal with authentication, quotas, and storage as well as inference. -

nik4nix
Nik plugins on Ubuntu standalone or with Picasa3
Main idea here is that you can use Nik Plugins stand-alone without officially supported 3rd party host application (Lightroom, Photoshop, Spark, Portfolio). On Windows or Linux. Source code can be compiled natively for Linux or for Windows with Lazarus IDE. The program is dedicated to Ubuntu users, where you can install Nik Collection using wine. On Ubuntu you can either use native Linux version, or native Windows version running via wine. In fact, currently the latter is recommended, because there are some UI glitches related to gtk widgetset if you compile for Linux - the UI looks better in native Windows version (this can be fixed in the future). Even if you use native Windows version on Linux via wine, the app will be aware of wine and will still be integrated with your Ubuntu desktop and will be integrated with supported apps on it, like Gimp, Pinta, Darktable, Nautilus, etc. It will still talk to your shell, and provide all the integration with your Linux. -

PixelWasher
Remove Near White Pixels from an Image
Images often have dirty pixels, that are almost a certain color, usually white. PixelWasher can remove these pixels. The result is the output image is smaller in size, and is easier to edit. Pixels are replaced based on threshold rules defined by the user. A rule can be simple using "and", "or", and "(" ")" brackets, or a rule can be written in C#. Examples are provided in the "Rule" combo box. Advanced users can use the C# code option to return Color objects with different Alpha values based on the original pixel color and location. The "Replacement Color" can use an Alpha value of 0 to make those pixels completely transparent. Requires .NET Framework 4.5.2 or newer. This software might require the full .NET framework as the System.CodeDom.Compiler library is used to compile the Pixel Wash Condition rules. Please rate and/or review the software. -
