Photoshop

Adobe integrates AI as a built-in feature of Photoshop and Illustrator within Firefly.

Photocraft is an open-source image tool benchmarked against Photoshop, with the project fully open-source and free.

PhotoCraft is not meant to replace professional tools like Photoshop; its value lies in providing an open-source, controllable, privacy-friendly image editing option.

从九格网格中提取单帧时，直接在Photoshop中裁剪会导致分辨率下降，更好的做法是使用AI基于网格重新生成全分辨率的单帧

C2PA规范已被纳入JPEG、PDF等主流文件格式标准，Photoshop、Lightroom等专业工具已原生支持内容凭证的生成与读取

The Photoshop clone built by the developer through reverse engineering is still in the early alpha stage, with more than 800 open issues, and opening a 12MP image requires about 800MB of memory.

The mobile versions of Photoshop obtained through Google Play on Chromebooks have an obvious gap in functionality compared with the full desktop versions on Windows/macOS.

Google Chromebooks cannot provide complete desktop Adobe applications (such as Photoshop and Premiere) in their app ecosystem, and users can only obtain the mobile versions through Google Play.

Layers are the basic organizational unit of graphics editors such as Photoshop and Figma; each layer independently stores one type of content (text, shapes, images, adjustment effects, etc.) and carries properties such as position, size, opacity, blend mode, font and font size; a design file is essentially a structured collection of layer objects and their hierarchical relationships, not a flat bitmap.

The PSD file format has evolved over 30 years and is only partially public, making lossless round-tripping of smart objects, layer effects, and adjustment layers extremely difficult.

An LLM trained on Photoshop documentation, forums, and even reverse-engineering material can hardly be called a clean-room implementation, and this claim does not constitute legal protection.

Hands-on testing by the German magazine c't found that for professional workflows involving existing project files such as agency work, the vibecoded PhotoCraft could not reliably replace the original Photoshop.

Whether Framefields' "Photoshop-level VFX" is marketing language or a capability description lacks comparable cases.

ArtCraft has reports of Smart Objects behaving abnormally, crashing when importing large numbers of video clips, and only 5 of 30 filter tests matching Photoshop's output; Thomas has retracted his promise of "full alignment within a month."

The RTX Spark 7 works deeply with software such as Photoshop and Blender, supports local AI inference, and requires no paying for cloud tokens.

PhotoCraft is not suitable for professional design workflows requiring complex layer editing and fine color management, and its current capabilities cannot replace Photoshop-level tools.

Image editors have become a popular target for vibe coding because Photoshop, as an industry benchmark, provides a clear reference target, and AI code generation performs better in scenarios where there is a benchmark to reference.

Large language models have encountered vast amounts of Photoshop-related tutorials, source code, and UI descriptions in their training data, and are therefore able to generate structurally sound related code with relatively high confidence.

Photoshop's smart objects and adjustment layers, as well as Lightroom's parametric editing, are examples of non-destructive editing.

Casey Muratori argues that for software like Photoshop the legal threat from AI cloning is far greater than for games, because it can potentially be decompiled with byte-for-byte precision and byte-for-byte copying is often used as a marketing talking point.
