About

PhotoCraft is a free, open-source raster image editor for photographers, digital artists, designers, and other creative users. It provides layers, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles, text, vector tools, and brushes in a native desktop application, with a WebAssembly build that can be hosted separately. Users can make non-destructive edits with adjustment layers and live-preview filters, select subjects and objects on-device, and refine masks locally. The editor opens and saves layered PSD and PSB documents, supports smart objects and smart filters, and includes color-management tools for RGB, CMYK, Lab, and grayscale documents at 8-, 16-, and 32-bit depths. PhotoCraft is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and is distributed as free, open-source software.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • What I like most is that it feels familiar immediately. The layout, tools, shortcuts, layers, masks, adjustment layers, and PSD workflow are close enough to traditional professional image editors that there is almost no learning curve. The performance is another big plus. PhotoCraft is written natively in Rust and uses the GPU instead of wrapping everything in Electron, so the whole app feels much more lightweight than I expected.

Cons

  • The main downside is that it is still early alpha. There are still some tools, advanced typography features, generative AI capabilities, and plugin compatibility on the roadmap, so it is not a complete Photoshop replacement yet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One of its most notable and useful features is that it has an extensive range of brushes or retouching brushes to use. In addition, it offers a wide range of formats to work with: JPEG, PNG, TGA, PSD, and many more. Likewise, it has an internal storage base of the images that are edited in the program.
  • Twistedbrush is a semi-professional photo editing application that is quite complete in general terms. It has different editing sections, among them: layers, filters, drawing templates, and many more. Besides, you can draw from scratch anything you want since it has a canvas option for you to make art on it.

Cons

  • Although it has many design and photo editing tools, it has a limitation of only 15 days of trial and the cost of its Premium extension is very high unlike many other editors. Similarly, the application does not offer any training on how to use it and it is confusing to use as it has many features.
  • Although it has so many useful tools for photography and drawing enthusiasts, access to all of them requires a paid subscription for its services that range between 4€ and 6€ depending on the plan you choose. It is a problem since there are other very good photo editors that are well below the price of Twistedbrush.
