About
PhotoCraft is an image editor for creating and editing layered artwork. Its feature set includes layers, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles, text, vector tools, and brushes. It can open and save layered PSD and PSB documents, and offers non-destructive editing with adjustment layers and live-preview filters. The developer also describes on-device selection tools for selecting subjects and objects and refining masks.
The editor is presented as a native application with a GPU-rendered canvas. The official product page lists support for documents in RGB, CMYK, Lab, and Grayscale color modes, at 8, 16, and 32 bits, as well as ICC color management and soft proofing. These are product-page claims; this entry covers the PhotoCraft application, not other Crafting Apps products or separate command-line downloads.
