About

Photon Studio is a free desktop photo-editing and design application for photographers, retouchers, illustrators, and other creative users working with raster images. It provides layered editing, selections, masks, retouching, color and RAW adjustments, filters, text, vector shapes, artboards, and batch actions. The application opens and saves PSD and PSB files with layers and supports common image formats, familiar Photoshop-style tools, and keyboard shortcuts. AI-assisted selections and background removal run locally on the user's computer. Photon supports offline workflows, a command-line interface, and an MCP server that lets compatible coding assistants and agents work with documents. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, it stores files locally and does not require an account for normal use. Photon is suitable for personal and commercial creative work.

About

The best version ever, so smooth. Apple Silicon support! Fully functional, in-app purchases allow people to support the project. This is an easy-to-use but powerful image editor. It supports "layers". Imagine GIMP/Photoshop "light", most of the features non-professionals need to create awesome images. This incredible software is originally the amazing work of Mark Pazolli and many others (see the credits in the user guide). Make sure you have enough free memory. Images take a lot of memory! If you are looking for a free, easy-to-use, image editing application with "layers", this is the one. Seashore was designed to provide basic image editing tools for non-professional users. The project was started by Mark Pazolli in 2003, “borrowing some ideas, resources and source code, as the developer originally put it. Seashore has also been using the version of the XCF file format from ca. 2003 as its native one. It should be able to handle any native Cocoa format.
