01 / THE FIELD NOTESARTCRAFT WIKI / INDEPENDENT

Your starting point for PhotoCraft.

Find the independent image editor, understand its alpha status, and plan a careful first file test.

Based on official documentation. These guides do not claim independent installation, performance or compatibility testing.

What you are opening

PhotoCraft is the team's independent image editor. Its official feature description covers layers, masks, adjustment layers, brushes and text. It is a different application from the ArtCraft AI studio.

The official directory currently marks it early alpha. This guide is a starting point based on official documentation, not an independent PSD compatibility test.

Find the correct build

Open the PhotoCraft product page (opens in a new tab / 新窗口打开), then choose the platform-specific download. The official page lists Windows, macOS, Linux and Web support. Check the current release notes and instructions in the PhotoCraft repository (opens in a new tab / 新窗口打开).

The Web platform label is not a direct online-app URL. Follow a verified link from the official project rather than guessing an address.

Prepare a small first test

Work with a duplicate of a simple image or document. Keep the original and choose a separate destination for any saved result. A useful first check is whether a file opens, basic edits remain visible, and the saved result opens again in the software you normally use.

For a layered document, note which text, fonts, masks, effects and embedded objects you rely on. Verify those individually before moving a larger project. Official support for a file format does not establish full compatibility for your particular document.

Record what happened

Keep the app version, platform, file type and exact error. Report reproducible problems to the official issue tracker with a minimal sample you are allowed to share. Do not upload confidential project files just to demonstrate a problem.

A future hands-on guide will need an independently recorded environment and results. No test outcomes are claimed here.
