Description

DesignCraft is an open-source application designed for page layout and publishing, catering to the needs of designers, publishers, and anyone involved in creating multi-page documents. It features an array of tools such as spreads, parent pages, and various types of frames for text and graphics, as well as capabilities for threaded narratives, column arrangements, paragraph and character styles, color palettes, and text wrapping, all aimed at facilitating editorial and print-focused designs. Additionally, the application offers advanced typography functionalities, including paragraph composition, hyphenation, optical margin adjustments, and baseline grid management. Users have the ability to work with a native documented file format, and they can easily import or export IDML files, as well as export images in PNG format. DesignCraft is accessible as a native desktop application compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, and it also provides a WebAssembly version for online use. For those who prefer automation, the application supports command-line workflows, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server for executing scripted or agent-driven document tasks. Notably, DesignCraft is entirely free and operates under either MIT or Apache-2.0 licenses, making it a valuable resource for creatives. As it continues to evolve, users can look forward to new features and enhancements in future updates.

Description

PhotoCraft is an open-source graphics editing application that provides tools for photo manipulation, image composition, and layered digital artwork. Developed in Rust, the software uses a native GPU-accelerated canvas with support for Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12, and WebGPU rendering technologies. Its editing interface includes familiar menus, keyboard shortcuts, panels, and tools for managing image documents. Users can work with layers, masks, brushes, vector elements, and editable text to create or modify visual compositions. PhotoCraft supports PSD and PSB file formats, allowing users to open and save layered image documents. The application includes 16 adjustment layers, more than 70 live-preview filters, smart objects, and configurable layer styles for non-destructive editing. On-device selection tools enable users to isolate subjects and objects and refine masks without sending image data to an external server. Color management features support RGB, CMYK, Lab, and grayscale documents at multiple bit depths, along with ICC profiles and soft proofing. PhotoCraft is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and its source code can be downloaded, modified, and compiled independently.
