Photoshop Replacement


I looked a few days ago and the sub is for adding AI features, but you can use your own subscriptions if you prefer, they just sell an option to help funding the project.

  • Nothing to see here.
I don't think there is any real stopping this , as long as the code is not exactly the same, theft would be a pretty far stretch in my opinion.
I've also read here that this developer is going after Microsoft Office products also.

I have been using PhotoCraft and PdfCraft for about a week now and even though they are supposedly in the pre-beta stage, it's amazing how stable they are, I have yet to come across any bugs.

This is what happens when big software companies get greedy , it all started because Adobe and others are charging "cancellation" fees for their subscriptions and pissed the wrong people off.

I think like they are saying, now with AI, paid software will be going the way of the do-do bird, either that or subscription prices will drop drastically , cancellation fees will become non-existent in fear of their software being cloned. In any event, now that AI can write the same software with cleaner code, I think the era of the software giants is about to come to an end.

They have already created clones of Word, PowerPoint and Excel, you can read about it at Techspot .

Photocraft doesn't seem to support .NEF files- I don't know if it's raw files in general. I'll stick with what I have, I was just curious. It does seem like theft so worth a miss.
Major showstopper. Of course, Photocraft can "clean-room copy" Nikon's NX Studio.

Are Canon and Sony RAW files supported?

So what about Outlook? Classic and new Outlook? How about a version of new Outlook that has feature parity and then some with Classic? Dream on. :rolleyes:

I am sure something to the effect may be in the works, in a few short weeks the site went from just offering Adobe clones and added Office clones
