- I'll have to do more research in this but I'm curious what prompts they used and if they had a software development/clean room background because the videos I've been watching and content covering the first version of this said it was very painful/ a lot of things were broken. Sure AI does some testing, but are people using slicers with their UIs to make sure things match? Are people checking these things to see they do what is intended?by darksim905
- I just tried editing a PSD with a smart object and the result was completely broken. It works much better in Photopea, a web app that was released 13 years ago.by cristian-m
- I ran the photoshop thing and:
1. the advanced options for brush smoothing didn't work
2. tried to draw shapes and i couldn't actually see the shapes as i was drawing them

just wait and check back in a month, it will be reposted here for sure.
by mcdep - Adobe's moat is so small, so it's a matter of time until someone frustrated with their pricing would rather just rebuild the entire Creative Suite. I have also rebuilt the features from Photoshop I want using Rust recently (primarily because the company I work for started blocking Photopea, but I digress...) and it's been a great to work with. I can imagine the same would hold true for Lightroom, Illustrator, and Indesign.
Overall, looks like a cool project. Looking forward to the *Craft repos on github gaining traction
by praet - The most interesting part to me is their PDF stuff, as that has been at times somewhat lackluster on Linux, and there's this huge huge huge existing base of non-artists that could benefit from something like that.
I'm not sure if it really makes sense to copy the UI and visual language of the source that verbatim (and I believe that Adobe will rightfully retaliate on specifically that), but for the time being, that's neat.
I bet the industry didn't expect that their IP laundering tools would eventually launder their own IP.
by hypfer - I tried their photoshop "equivalent" and it's a piece of garbage. Essentially nothing works. I'm sure it will improve but as of right now I would be pretty embarrassed to put something out that works so poorly.by luckydata
- Pretty crazy. I think we’re already very numb to AI. Can you imagine seeing something like this pop up 3 years ago? Youd have been dumbfounded and it would have been major news.by nonethewiser
- Tested it: very broken software produced by AI. The title and description is so far away from the truth you may well call it deceptive.by rf15
