What is PhotoSuite?

PhotoSuite is a full-featured desktop raster and vector graphics editor designed with fidelity in mind rather than reinterpretation. Panels sit where you expect them, shortcuts match your muscle memory, dialogs expose identical fields, and tools behave exactly like the originals, right down to modifier keys. If you know Photoshop ~CS6, you already know PhotoSuite.

Offline-First & Private: Built as a Tauri v2 application. The editor runs HTML5, WebAssembly, and WebGL inside the system webview, backed by a lightweight Rust host for filesystem access, native menus, dialogs, clipboard, and printing. Everything stays local on your machine with zero telemetry or cloud requirements.

Features:

Layer Engine & Styles:

  • Raster layers, vector layers, layer groups, clipping masks, and layer masks.
  • 1:1 Photoshop layer styles: Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Outer Glow, Inner Glow, Bevel & Emboss, Satin, Color Overlay, Gradient Overlay, Pattern Overlay, and Stroke.
  • Smart Objects and Smart Filter stacks with non-destructive editing.
  • Layer Comps palette and tracker.

Tools & Canvas Experience:

  • Complete toolset: Marquee, Lasso, Magic Wand, Crop, Brush, Clone Stamp, Healing Brush, Eraser, Gradient, Blur/Sharpen, Dodge/Burn, Pen, Type, Shapes, Hand, Zoom, and Eyedropper.
  • Full canvas panning, zooming, rotation, pixel grid, rulers, and custom guides.
  • Deep History palette with snapshot support.

Filters & WebAssembly Acceleration:

  • Classic Filter Gallery with multi-band runner and live thumbnails.
  • Liquify with interactive mesh warping.
  • Lens Correction backed by the Lensfun database.
  • WebAssembly-powered image processing (blur, median, WebP encode/decode, zstd compression, etc.).

Vector Geometry & Advanced Typography:

  • Vector path geometry and boolean operations powered by Paper.js.
  • High-fidelity font parsing via Typr.js, complex text shaping via HarfBuzz (WASM), and bidirectional text layout via FriBidi (WASM).
  • Type along path, text warp, OpenType ligatures, kerning, and character/paragraph palettes.

Automation, Scripting & Extensibility:

  • Photoshop Actions (.atn) parser and playback engine.
  • JavaScript/JSX scripting engine powered by Acorn.
  • Sandboxed sidebar plugins using plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript communicating via IPC (see PLUGINS.md).

Native Desktop Integration:

  • Native OS menus via Tauri.
  • Direct printing support (CUPS on macOS/Linux, Windows Spooler on Windows).
  • Drag-and-drop file loading and native OS file dialogs.
