PhotoCraft open-source Rust image editor ships multiple control interfaces
What happened
On October 7, Hacker News featured PhotoCraft, an open-source image editing app written in pure Rust that reimplements Photoshop's layers, masks, text, vector and PSD editing through a clean-room approach. The project offers a UI, a CLI, a JSON control channel and an MCP server, with more than 500 commands shared across the four interfaces. On PSD compatibility, the project says 307 of the 309 files in the psd-tools test set keep identical rendering after re-saving. That claim comes from the project, and the report offers no independent verification.
