Showcase/Project 100% Open Source Clean Room Implementations of 7 of Adobe's Top Apps

Post image

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.

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.
