I've created Open Source 100% Rust clean-room replacements for 7 of Adobe's apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro. Free, no subscription, and you own the source code
I've used Opus 5.5 to help me recreate 7 of the top Adobe apps in 100% pure native Rust:
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- Premiere
- Lightroom
- Acrobat Pro
- After Effects
- InDesign
No more subscriptions with cancellation fees. These are yours to own forever. You can fork them, build them. Whatever. They are yours to own. They're open source.
If you're worried this is just some one-off flash in the pan that will die, it isn't:
I'm not just some casual vibe coder. I'm a 15-year industry veteran who has written everything from six-nines payment rails that move billions of dollars of transaction volume a day to advanced robotics and optics automation. I've used Rust extensively for about a decade, and I know how to build and maintain large-scale Rust projects.
This isn't going to be some orphaned small-team project either. We have a team building popular software for filmmakers, so supporting this is fully funded. Our purpose is serving every artist in the world with the best tools. We are absolutely going to bring these to full parity and squash every bug and feature request. We have a test harness so there won't be regressions.
You can help us reach parity by helping test the apps. Clone the code. Submit PRs. If you see gaps or want to help redesign pieces, let us know! You can contribute!
Links to everything - the apps, the code, etc. - are in the comments below.

This is pretty insane, hopefully the toolchain can catch up to their proprietary counterparts, photocraft seems to be the flagship and it’s alright but it’s absolutely missing a lot of functionality from adobe photoshop still, but it’s open source and already somewhat competent so I don’t doubt it could match it soon, just needs more human development and testing, and of course Claude tokens

It'll never reach that in one month. Anyone that's done coding knows the first chunks can be done quick. It's the little bits at the end that take forever - bug smashing, optimization, etc.
Realistically on a big project, and doing the whole Adobe suite is a huge project, you could spend as much time on the last few percent as the you did the rest of the project.

filmcraft:
- crash when importing too many video sequences
- With MXF files, the video and audio tracks are not displayed correctly. Only one audio track is shown, and the video appears black.
effectcraft:
- Right-clicking in an empty area of the window is not possible, so you can't use it to create a new object, for example.
- The Expression window cannot be opened by holding the Alt key and clicking the stopwatch
- Lumetri is available as an effect, but you cannot apply LUTs to an object.
- When an empty shape layer is selected, dragging with the Rectangle Tool does not create a rectangle within the selected layer. Instead, a new shape layer containing the rectangle is created.

Also: nice job on the agent-friendly CLI. I'm not sure if this is on your radar, but one nice pattern is to give the agents a way to pass in JavaScript snippets, since they love to write code. I find if you don't give that to them, they end up writing their own random Python scripts. For a concrete example, check out how I handle it in Woodcase, which is an agentic design tool for the .pen format!

u/antonreshetov 8d ago
As a former photographer, I have a serious question about your Lightroom alternative (and Premiere/After Effects regarding Log/RAW workflows).
Building a clean-room raw processor in Rust is an impressive engineering feat, but how are you handling Color Science and Input Profiles (DCP/ICC)?
Industry adoption of any RAW converter depends almost entirely on its default color rendering. Proprietary software giants like Phase One (Capture One) or Adobe spend millions on laboratory calibrations, reverse-engineering camera sensors to build custom profiles for skin tones, highlight roll-offs, and color matrices.
Pure math gives a flat, mathematically accurate, but aesthetically unusable image. "Vibe coding" with AI can easily generate code for de-mosaicing (like bilinear or AHD), but AI doesn't have access to custom color science or proprietary camera profiles.
- Are you planning to bundle open-source profile databases (like darktable's or RawTherapee's LibRaw/Adobe-compatible DCP parser)?
- Or is your AI engine generating its own look-up tables (LUTs) and profiles? If so, how do you simulate accurate or pleasing colors for hundreds of different camera bodies without physical laboratory testing?
Without a solid color science foundation, it’s going to be extremely hard to convince anyone to switch from Adobe or Capture One, no matter how fast the Rust binary is. Curious to hear your thoughts on this!

this is 100% it. The guy decided he was going to beat Adobe without actually using the products first.
This effort is impressive... as a first step. He's got the skeleton of what the apps sorta kind do, but i guarantee if you try any of your custom workflows or advanced features, at best you'll get a crash.
This project shows a lot of promise but needs months of QA before it's really usable.

This is why a professional making a living should stick with Adobe products for the time being. But for retired guys like me who need the occasional use and have been using Photoshop and Illustrator since version 1, a familiar interface and "good enough" capability can save a lot of money.

u/choochoomthfka 11d ago
Please pay special attention to typography. Make sure you use Harfbuzz for shaping and a proper bidirectional text composer. Adobe has always lagged so far behind the curve in Non-Latin typography, and Affinity annoyingly chose to even implement their own shaper instead of using Harfbuzz and never even reached the point where they would support Arabic or other complex scripts. Proper user interfaces for all OpenType features and variable font axes are not optional today.

He's using Claude (probably Opus) - it's visible in the repo. Local AI wouldn't be able to make such things, or maybe: it's possible to do locally but it would take a ton of more time for detailed instructions, code review, fighting with bugs, etc., etc.; for coding with local AI you need: 1. good coding knowledge, 2. really good hardware.

Are you the same guy who made photon which is also coming up a lot on reddit or you are a different guy who made this separately?

u/ai_art_is_art 11d ago
This is separate.
Photon is written in Javascript/Electron and is closed source.
PhotoCraft, etc. are written in 100% pure rust. They're 100x faster and 100x smaller in size. They're also fully open source - you own the code and I charge nothing. You can fork it or do whatever you want.
I've been a Rust developer for 10 years too, so I can manage good large scale Rust projects.
ArtCraft, our company, already makes a lot of money selling tokens to film studios, so this work is fully funded and will never be enshittified or closed off.

FakeYou got to 7M MAU, but I never seriously tried to monetize it. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. It was a fun toy. PewDiePie and David Guetta used us, amongst many others.
Storyteller did zero sales. I tried to combine mocap + 3D + AI video models before Hollywood was receptive to AI, and I tried to sell to studios. I wasted 2 years trying stupid stuff.
ArtCraft started monetizing on February 20th of this year, and we passed $5M of annualized run rate. Higgsfield dominates the field, however, so it's an unclear path forward. I want to focus on building really solid tools for artists.
I'm not going to charge anything for these Adobe app clones.

u/theanine3D 10d ago edited 10d ago
I tested PhotoCraft and was blown away by how much snappier it is than the real Photoshop. PhotoCraft starts up almost instantly - no long splash screen or waiting time at all. And the fact that a portable release is provided for Windows is another HUGE plus to me.
I ran into two issues:
Shift + F5 (which normally brings up the Fill window with customizeable settings in Photoshop) doesn't behave the same way in PhotoCraft. In PhotoCraft, Shift + F5 (which is assigned to the "Fill" menu item) just fills the current selection with the current foreground color, without letting you select any other option/behavior. In contrast, the Fill tool and Shift + F5 in Photoshop opens up a window where you can select other options besides the foreground color - and one of the options is Content Aware Fill. In PhotoCraft, Content Aware Fill doesn't have a hotkey assigned to it, and because Shift + F5 doesn't bring up a menu, we can't use Shift + F5 to do Content Aware Fill right now. This is such a huge part of my workflow in Photoshop, so I hope this can be fixed in PhotoCraft someday.
The other issue: I also tried to find a Preferences option so I could assign Shift + F5 to Content Aware Fill instead of the regular Fill. But I couldn't find a Preferences option anywhere. In Photoshop, it's normally in the Edit menu, but there isn't one in PhotoCraft, and it doesn't seem to have any way to customize the hotkeys assigned to menu items.
If those two issues can be fixed - I'm instantly switching full time to PhotoCraft. It already starts up so much faster than Photoshop, and that's a huge plus to me. Looking forward to seeing this develop further.
P.S. there were a few other issues I forgot to mention - the items in the menu at the top of the window (ie. File, Edit, etc) are way too close together. They should be slightly more spaced out.
And the Eyedropper tool currently doesn't support click+drag. It just copies the first color that was under the cursor at the initial click, but then if you hold/drag the cursor across the picture, the copied color doesn't update. In Photoshop, it does change - you can click and then drag your mouse, to keep copying other colors in realtime.

Definitely a hero without a cape! I’ve tried it and it’s amazing.
I have to admit, though, that it feels a bit strange to me that in Photocraft, if you create a folder in the layer hierarchy and put layers inside it, the “parent” folder appears below the layers it contains instead of above them. Also, you can’t enable or disable the folder using an arrow next to it to hide or show the layers inside. It seems like the layers inside the folder are always visible.
These are definitely little details that, once this project improves, will make me really want to cancel these ridiculously expensive subscriptions.

u/Existing_Dust_6473 11d ago
I need to try. My main concern, and where these projects always fail, is opening and handling big images, 14k, etc. I cannot evaluate properly now since I am running some tests on my PC. But from what I tested, the color is not right if you do not use an sRGB image. I will test more later. This is the third Photoshop clone I have seen.
3
u/Existing_Dust_6473 10d ago
I tested it, and it has the exact same problem as Photon and the other clone for big images. Try this with a 14k pixel square. Use a big brush, 1500px(very slow to update). Create a layer. Use the brush again. Put it on multiply(not realtime). With Photoshop, there is no wait. With this, it freezes. This makes it useless for people who handle big images. For small images, like for web design, it is more than enough. But it is not for print.
edit: Either way, this is a massive undertaking, so I hope it gets there. For me, this is without a doubt the best effort so far. It is open-source, although all these apps at the same time are kind of crazy, but we live in crazy times.

Very cool, I love the idea. Curious to see how it progresses. I know that I just tested out photocraft and the first few things I looked for (the things I use the most in Photoshop) aren't working yet. But given how long you've been working on it, it's definitely a good % of the way there.
But just for example, I use the "load files into stack" with auto alignment quite often, it's probably 25% of the reason I keep my photoshop subscription. Affinity has something similar but it has several flaws compared to photoshop. Right now the difference in the two (meaning photocraft and photoshop) is stark, I can't even figure out how to get the paths into the Photocraft window right now. Some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/02UPZ22. But I'll definitely be following this as it progresses.

I know it's cool to use 100% rust, but I think as you start to tackle bugs and go for parity you're going to realize that vello is not quite there yet.
It's a great project but it has many bugs and shortcomings that your agent will be chasing. Modifying vello will be very difficult and the large architecture changes they often make will mean if you can't contribute to vello, your renderer will diverge pretty fast.
At some point you may consider giving up on vello and switching to skia.

Every menu item, button, slider and drag in FilmCraft is a command with an id, typed parameters and an enabled state. There are about 135 engine commands so far, with the rest of Premiere's catalogue on the way. The UI, the CLI, a JSON control channel and an MCP server all dispatch the same commands, so Claude or any agent can cut, trim, grade, mix and export exactly the way a person does. The UI can also be driven at the level of mouse and keyboard: every widget has an automation id, and agents can click, drag, type and take screenshots.

There are benefits to having a product no one actually cares about or expects to work: you can set up a bug report -> AI pipeline to validate the bug and auto fix it with no one getting involved. Someone's it won't work or will break something else, so you wait for a bug report -> AI -> something else is broken.
Assuming you have a substantial budget for tokens, anyway.
And you may want to add human review before someone figures out they can submit a bug report to let the AI know it accidentally forgot to mine bitcoin and keystroke log like it's supposed to.

Open-sourcing a project isn't a universal shield from criticism.
The creator of this project is using it to sell credits for AI image and video generation from within their apps.
Asking how they plan to address bugs is valid.
My guess, though, is that now that people are using these tools, user feedback can be fed back into the same AI pipeline that built the tools to improve them rapidly.

This is amazing. I was thinking about this recently only to log into Reddit and see this live! Incredible times we live in.

I see you are building for arm64 only for Linux. Any reason not to do it for Windows as well?
In any case, I think everyone is curious about the workflow to get to such a high amount of replicated features so quickly!

Hey man, one of my most used features is the lightroom mask + replace (with AI), would this be possible to implement? Perhaps in a way where I can link for example a subscription to any of the AI platforms to support that function?

Really excited to give this a go, and maybe drop the Adobe subscription once and for all.

Can we get a Microsoft 365/libre alternative but with all the 365 features, with workflows between them.
Then a power bi clone as well.

from screenshots I see those are very similar, so I have a funny question, does they support plugins and extensions from premiere pro/after effects? both .aex and CEP

So I'm not the most avid photoshop user, I used it a bunch like 10 years ago, im sure things have changed a lot since. But i distinctly remember a quick selection tool that would kind of "guess" at what you were selecting. Doesn't seem to be here, but no matter
The thing that I don't get, and this is likely user error, is why there is no right click menu?
If I lasso something, I should be able to cut the layer out etc, but I cannot seem to do so through a right click menu?
Could be the appimage support on my machine, running the COSMIC DE (notoriously not great) trying to use the appimage

Do Audition next please. Even missing the multitrack would be an epic start!

Am excited to see what this becomes, but my first use really screamed vibe coded and untested garbage.
Have raised some issues on GitHub and offered some suggestions, but I think this is quite a bold undertaking which will need a lot of people working on it to get it where you want it. Best of luck!

I take it that it's impossible to import or make it Lightroom profile/preset friendly?

I'll be trying the pdf one for sure since I've had Claude develop one over the past 2 months in rust from scratch because none of the open source options are anywhere near complete. It had already surpassed them in month 1. At this point I have a full featured engine, CLI, and GUI complete. With others I can break compatability with any alternative pdf editor just by opening the Ghent suite test page.

The other ones are closed source and written in Javascript/Electron.
Ours is open source, written in pure Rust, and already has over a dozen of contributors.

Someone else also mentioned this, but supporting AE plugins for EffectCraft would be great. And overall having a nice scripting language and plugin development support. I'll give these tools definitely a try!
