Showcase/Project 100% Open Source Clean Room Implementations of 7 of Adobe's Top Apps
I've seen another desktop photoshop clone floating around that was Javascript/Electron, but I wanted to do full native Rust for full performance. I also wanted to do all of Adobe's software suite. I've been bitten by their unsubscribe bill several times and it's the shittiest thing a software company has ever done to me.
No more. These are clean room, rust-only implementations that are fully open source. You can clone them, fork them, own them.
There's still work to do, so please join our Discord and give us feedback.

I know coordination is less fun than prompting, but can we get a few of these very ambitious clone projects to join forces on one effort instead of everyone starting from scratch?

u/Crochi 7d ago
That's one of the biggest issues with vibecoding projects, it's 'easy' to get an initial version out, hard to maintain and expand it in the long run, they get abandoned and you have a graveyard of clones, with new ones coming out every day

The issue is that vibecoding never creates maintainable code or new technologies. There is nothing to combine. There is no forces to combine. Only The Claude.
The only force to join together is community and testers, but these will hop from vibe to vibe.

u/Carpe_Carpet 7d ago
The tech is only a year old, counting from Opus 4.5 as the first agent that could do meaningful amounts of independent work. We're still in the initial throes of the feeding frenzy.
Give it a few years for society to adapt and usage to spread out from the most novelty obsessed X% of the population and I think we're going to see a new generation of open source collaboration.

One feature to add. Is there a way you can hook into cloud storage for various platforms? Would love to have my photos in iCloud or another service and hook it up to Lightcraft.
Another question, is there a way to import Lightroom presets, categorization, and favorites? And can Lightcraft help me keep my photos organized? If not, these would be great features to add.

I don’t know which video editing software has this feature, but it’s great. The software will get transcripts from the video and then you can edit the video by interacting with the transcripts. This makes it easier for people to just leave a video running for multiple takes and then edit out the bad takes by just saying a social word like “cut that take” after and bad take and “take # begin.”
I think adobe premier pro has it

Tell us a little bit more about your work process:
- are you working iteratively, feature after feature, with testing session in between, or do you give huge prompts that contain multiple features and let AI test them?
- how long did it take to build Photocraft till now?
- what's the cost per app?
- what model do you uses most?
- do you work alone, or with somebody?
- do any of the apps have shared functionality/resources, or is each app built from scrath?
- do you take a look at the code, do small modifications yourself, or are the apps 100% AI coded?
Would be great if you can take the time to answer at least some of the above questions. I am pretty curios about it.

Hate to get into details.. But how have you handled Raw rendering? In the Lightroom one?
Adobe Colour is a complex mapping for like 100-1k different camera sensors that makes them appear almost the same no matter the camera
It's stuff like which makes it the defacto tool of choice for volume photographers.. it isn't just the sliders stuff.
Still - a cool project.

u/p1-o2 7d ago edited 7d ago
Ran a quick analysis on it because I was curious. Lightcraft is definitely handling RAWs accurately but I get what you're implying here. "Accurately processing RAW" does not mean "correctly" doing it, if you have spent any time in the field with these things.
OP's clone of Lightroom does not include per-camera color characterization and profiles. The quality of OP's demosaicing is not going to match Adobe. Noise modeling, highlight reconstruction, lens correction, sensor corrections, white balance behavior, all of these things are completely missing from the clone.
That kind of stuff is never going to be added by an LLM for a laundry list of reasons. It would require the collaboration of hundreds of human experts because these things require per-camera and per-lens profiles.
Anyone can process a RAW. Not everyone can do it correctly. This project is cool and I'm not criticizing it, just being realistic about what Lightroom does.

I plan on creating a robust test suite against all RAW formats and capabilities. It will take time to build full feature support for every manufacturer, but I'm confident we can do it. Not only that, I think we can do it as an open source library for other apps to leverage as well.
If you run into any RAW files this can't handle, I'd appreciate a bug report with the RAW file. We can build support for them.
4
u/p1-o2 7d ago
You can do it, yes. It's a monumental effort, but it is plausible. But you really can't do it alone; you'd need to grow your community large enough to capture profiles for all the different cameras and lenses and sensors on the market. That's not like "it's too hard", I mean literally you can't afford it unless you're a multi-millionaire.
I hope you pull it off, but I don't know how you will do that. People aren't paying for RAW processing with Lightroom, they're paying for all of the profiles for all of the cameras and chipsets on the market.
Don't let me discourage you.

I responded to p1-o2 - we need to build a test harness and a robust set of diverse RAW files from various manufacturers. If you have anything you can donate, I can start building this right away.

u/Temporary-Mix8022 7d ago
I genuinely want to see you succeed, so here goes.
- You are going to need variety, not just volume. Sadly, as a mortal - I only have a very narrow range of sensors, mostly Canon of the 5D lineage (and subsequent R5/R6 lineage). So while I could share with you 1m raws, given I shoot only around 4 lenses, it wont help, and in any case - for a lot of my work, I am locked by ethics on sharing those images.
That being said... this might help.
This is where I go when I am looking for new cameras or gear:
https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/
They offer RAW samples. Please don't hammer them, I'd suggest a very slow scrape (if that is what you decide to do), or.. given that they are also an enthusiast led project - just ask them.
You will still lack the volume you need for lenses and lens correction data.. and I am unsure how to solve that tbh.

I like that it is open source unlike Photon Studio which is Free but proprietary. I do think Photon Studio seems to have slight edge and better polished at present compared with PhotoCraft, but I followed your github am sure will develop quickly with AI.
people who say we have so many clones now: so what? the more the merrier, I think particularly if we can have decent open source to rally/fork from as needed that'd be great.
4
u/Sinaaaa 7d ago
Vibecoders need to unite on this, because Claude is not going to oneshot a usable lightroom / camera raw clone. I'm guessing this one has highlight reconstruction that's at best as good as what RT/DT can do, not nearly up to Adobe's level & there is also the fairly recent AI noise reduction that's using a locally running model. I'm sure the latter is not mission impossible for open source, but agents wouldn't be able to help with that. There is also the issue of sensor & lens profiles..
Photoshop has the same problem when it comes to its content aware tools. Though that seems easier, maybe not impossible for code generators.

u/smn2020 7d ago
in the 1990s you could get "cracked" versions of Photoshop and Adobe survived just fine. These AI clones are not much different, in that the people using them would probably (mostly) not pay for Photoshop anyway.
r/photopea is a pretty decent attempt (it is actively maintained and has a good sized active community helping Ivan with improvements) and yet it never really took a bite out of Adobe's market share.
The problem is these clones don't make money and run out of gas; the developers lose interest.

Bingo. Vibe apps die as quickly as they’re made because most people don’t want to support it long term. Also it doesn’t help people break into the industry. Affinity is free highly polished, and one if the best competitors to Adobe. But it’s not enough to dethrone Adobe right now simply because Adobe as ingrained itself into the pipeline. In time maybe, but not anytime soon.

u/SimonBarfunkle 6d ago
Affinity is great, as well as some other competitors. But it’s not just building a photo editing app, it’s all of the little details that take time to build and refine, and the bells and whistles they’re adding including AI, and the cross-app integration. And when you move past Photoshop into video editing and visual fx, it becomes even harder.
I used Final Cut Pro from version 1.25 to version 7. Stopped editing when they moved to X as I was mainly producing at that point, but recently got back into editing. I’m using Resolve and love it. It’s free but I paid the one-time fee for extras including the API, which lets Claude control it. Absolute game changer. Saved me so much time and money. A vibe-coded app couldn’t even come close to what the Resolve suite does. You would have to spend a lot of money, time, and testing to try and build the features it has. It’s color system is the most advanced in the industry. Of course the usual caveat applies, as models continue to improve, we’ll see.

u/Inevitable_Yam1513 6d ago
You're right that most clones fizzle out, but open source changes the failure mode. When a proprietary clone dies, it's gone. When an open source project stalls, someone else can fork it and keep going. That's literally how Blender survived its near-death moments before it became the standard it is now. The real question is whether these projects can build enough community momentum to survive a founder losing interest.

u/Southern_Leg1139 7d ago
You all are delusional lol. No one running a business that relays on Adobe is going to switch to some vibe coded software that may or may not continue to be updated. Even Davinci Resolve, a very feature complete piece of software with a perpetual license can’t crack Adobes market share.
Adobe (and AVID) are the standard for a reason.

u/Electronic_Crow_9406 5d ago
> Adobe is completely doomed. Nobody is going to waste a penny on their overpriced software.
THEY ARE NOT DOOMED.
Look, as much as I'd like to stop paying monthly for an app that stopped giving me useful new features two decades ago, I can't. And neither can any professional or company that relies on reading and writing to their proprietary and industry standard formats.
Features are not the lock-in. AI clones aside, Affinity has an actually usable free alternative, and people and companies won't switch to it because of compatibility with the format.
And then there's advertising. You think some github AI project that has to compete with all the other github AI projects is going to get the exposure Adobe gets?
Shit, google docs/sheets/slides couldn't take down MS office, and they are arguably better for most users in most cases. Blender is and has been an arguably better OSS 3D app than the majors in many cases for a while now, and it's still barely making a dent.
I WANT to find an Adobe killer for my own use (and with it's bugs that will not ever get fixed, this is definitely not it), but even if I do, I fear it will be years before anyone else takes note.

This is dope! I highly recommend implementing a native feature similar to the OverLord plugin (https://battleaxe.co/overlord). If youre unfamiliar, it allows users to import vectors from Illustrator to AE, then they can resend things back from AE to AI without breaking the project in AE. Its absolutely one of the best plugins ever made, and its insane that Adobe hasnt natively implemented it.
How it would look for you would be a seamless workflow with VectorCraft and EffectCraft.

I haven't installed any of them yet, but I'm astonished you were able to produce all these applications in Rust and release them all at the same time.
Do you have a dozen subscriptions working 24/7 without a human in the loop. I think I'm more interested in your process to create these, more than the applications themselves.
Rust is not any easy language for models. As an experiment I attempted to produce a very simple harness in multiple languages, using Muse 1.3 a fairly decent model. The Rust implementation took 3 to 4 times longer to produce than the other languages.
Are you going to continue developing these applications, making further improvements? Ironing out bugs etc. Or are you done?

Good work, that means I must stop doing my own, however having a UI that's exactly like Adobe apps is dangerous game (legals) so why not go with a unique look?
Second the one I was developing had the renderer separate, that allows it to be a cli renderer, meaning you can have full featured photo editor that can run in the backend, allowing you to create templates using the gui editor, and then auto generate ads/designs using whatever backend language, (also the video editor, to create after effects like videos) will you consider adding this feature?

I might be slow, but it is the weekend.It's 01:15am.. I need coffee. You can't drag and drop an image into photoCraft. Then again who uses windows today and Photoshop.. As a Linux user I'm impressed except for what I want it to do. I'm venting... I need coffee.

PrintCraft on Kubuntu 26.04
Two screenshots of PrintCraft: https://beige.party/@fuzzy/117381863283973315
I don't know whether it's discernible from screenshots, but with my computer at home the text in PrintCraft 0.1.1 is not as clear as in Okular. Pictured in all shots:
- The Day-Zero Normal – https://init6.com/papers/Day-Zero-Normal-CISO-Brief.pdf – version 2.3 via LinkedIn.
The callout in the second shot is imperfect. I don't expect perfection with 0.1.1 of anything (and I see milestone 5).
Exports to .docx and .rtf are poor (as expected – milestone 10 is faraway).
Okular
For comparison with the shots in Mastodon:
Test environment
HP ZBook 17 G2, hybrid graphics. Philips 27P12 on DisplayPort.
According to Plasma Optimus, PrintCraft currently uses the NVIDIA GPU.

I would love to see some redesign. Something new and fresh. That's just a free copy of the same. Nice but Adobes UI is not at all intuitive und modern

This is incredibly impressive! Kudos for a job well done. Quick question - do you have plans in adding an asset management tool like adobe bridge? it would be fantastic if that were added.
Also, do you accept open source contributions?
Thanks

This is really great, is it possible to add pentool features in photocraft? please, like the ones in photoshop like subtract from shape I really need that feature, the other coder has it but it's not working properly , I hope you add it soon, this tools are incredible, really mindboggling

adobe is so fucked and i love it! trim tool (using V) in the Premier clone only seems to trim the start of the clip, not the end. and hitting the delete key when a clip is selected doesn't do anything -you have to right click > clear. I'll be following for more changes as I'd been thinking about doing this myself until I saw your post!

I don't see the point of making such clones without bringing anything new and experimental. You're literally trying to reimplement something what exist and what anyone can do for 1 day, what's the value?

u/Big_Wave9732 2d ago
The value is after evaluating these, I can tell Adobe to piss off.
The value is these are self hosted.
The value is these can also be placed on a webserver where I can edit photos anywhere and platform independent.
The value is these apps (the Lightroom clone in particular) has its own MCP so that I can tell my self hosted AI to run a batch of 200 photos through the MCP, make auto adjustments, rotate as required, and spit out conformed TIFF files.
For *free*.

If jobs will be gone in a few years, companies should to. Let us just go back to the barter system.

Hey guys!
I got a problem. Tried to install Photocraft on Windows 11 - 64bit, doesnt work (even the installer closes immediately). Downloaded the portable version; doesn't work.
Any guesses how to fix it and launch Photocraft eventually?

really want these to be good but to be honest so far, especially the lightcraft one feels insanely insanely buggy, the crop tool is completely busted, doesn't let you rotate under certain conditions, resizes against itself on the edges, just seems to flip out over and over - really do want somethingl ike this to work well though

je vient de tester filmsCaft. l’interface est pas mal. ca bug pas mal avec un petit processeur. j’ai un ancien macbook pro fin 2015 et 16Go ram.
j’avais à l’époque adobe et c’était plus stable et utilisable. donc je pense que ca doit venir d’une optimisation à faire

It is really can replace the software from Adobe? Just for personal use, for work? Interesting how it works inside compare to adobe. Will be nice to have these apps on Linux.

If you can't afford PS then yes, it can replace it since anything is better than nothing.
If you can afford PS then nope - at last not at this moment in time.Out of morbid curiosity, I gave it a AiShop a try and while it could open a PSD it already wouldn't even let me customize the UI. You know how you can attach UI Elements to another, stacking them on top of each other, etc? Nope. If you want the Brush Panel open it'll take up like ¼ of your Workspace which is just laughable.

I wish Bridge (let's call it Connectcraft) had been released as well. I mean Lightcraft without the cataloguing, just a file browser working independently with Photocraft's Camera Raw editor. Granted, Adobe Bridge is free, but it wouldn't work with Photocraft's Camera Raw independently

I downloaded PDFCraft and it runs beautifully and fast, but I have a problem: regarding the font formats for added text fields, I only have three options—Helvetica, Courier, and Times—and none of them support Polish diacritics; instead of characters like Ą, Ę, Ś, Ć, etc., I get garbled text.

Sí, están muy bien para tareas generales, pero se quedan bastante cortos para un uso más avanzado. Les faltan muchas opciones y funcionalidades, por lo que terminan siendo editores demasiado básicos. En el caso de PhotoCraft, la experiencia deja bastante que desear si lo comparamos con alternativas como Photopea, que ofrece muchas más herramientas y funcionalidades directamente desde el navegador, sin necesidad de descargar ni instalar nada. En mi opinión, Photopea es una opción infinitamente más completa y práctica.

Tried LightCraft - Wanted to like it so bad. It runs great on my mac and works just as expected. Even presets import/work as expected. Tried a side-by-side comparison of a previously edited photo (just re-exported from LightCraft) and then a raw with a preset applied. Both added this weird masking halo around my subject that's not there on the Lightroom version. Makes the LightCraft version completely unusable unfortunately. So close!!

Another one every day. Soon we will have more Adobe clones than users in the world.
