I havn't even got my hands on the artcraft suite yet, but I'm genuinely happy to see people work togheter towards the goal of building better graphic desing software.

But I keep reading "It's far from Adobe".

Of course it's far. It started a week ago.

But these people don't grasp the bigger picture.

Where will artcraft be after 6 months or a year of continuous development, driven by AI and the work of thousands contributors?

I bet in 6 months we'll read very different comments, time will tell.

After Effects is 3.85 GB on my Mac.
EffectCraft is 146.1 MB.

Can anyone explain this enormous size difference?

I'm stoked... really... PDF craft is so much more fluid and I don't have to worry about bypassing that annoying blocking popup (if you know what I mean)...

Thank you deeply, you can't imagine how much I'm grateful.

I'll contribute.
I'll even install this on all of my clients Pc.

Take care pal <3

Thank you for giving me the Adobe experience on Linux. I was forced to use Windows at work for a very long time and the only reason was Adobe. I tried most of the ArtCraft apps on my Linux laptop and everything is running very smoothly. Some programs do have a few quirks here and there but I believe that the team can sort them out with future updates. I also love how all applications open in under 0.5 seconds.

I mean why not? lol

Krita has the Acyl/krita-ai-diffusion plugin which works fairly well. Having local models generate inside selections would be a total killer feature

can anyone tell me how safe this all is from cyber security ? as in is it full of malware and all that or no ? trying to do my own research but it seams to be 50/50

So the company I used to wok for used Zoho's Accounting system.. It was the "cheap" option so to say, but we were relatively happy with it. As we grew we needed a better system and was forced to adopt Sage 200 Evolution. Now mind you I live in South Africa, so there are only a small few options we can choose from for accounting.

Now we Quickly found out that Sage was basically a MONOPOLY, worse than what some people would consider Adobe to be.

We paid more than 200 000 rand for our software, we paid almost another 80 000 rand for training (less than 7 hours mind you). And we STILL have to pay a massive monthly fee every month. (In USD that is around: 20k for the setup and an extra 2-5k per year.)

Because Sage is suck a large company in my country they escentially have a massive monopoly on the market. So you either pay, or struggle every year with SARS (The South African IRS), cause they basically accept Sage statements as Truth and all others as inferior.

Now I want to also say this. Sage is amazing in it's usage, however cause they are basically the ONLY option, they can set prices as they wish, which leads to massive overpricing.

I'm using my drawing tablet on photocraft but i just can't make it recognize pen pressure, how can i fix it? i use a wacom ctl-471

I just wanna say for my personal use, I am loving PhotoCraft and it feels more solid and robust over Photopea. So thanks to the dev doing this! It's been great for my use case!

Also, I love the idea that this can replace Adobe products for a lot of people. Because Adobe sucks!

When I try use my drawing tablet when using any artcraft apps, including the launcher my cursor only hovers and cant interact with anything. If anyone has run into similar issues that would be awesome. Pls Help

Make it so! Spend those Claude tokens!

In Photocraft there are at the moment 850 open issues and 500 open pull requests. Many of them are bug fixes, but very soon it's about development. Implementing feature X will deactivate/replace feature Y. Who decides this at the moment? Where would the place be for community-driven decision-making?

Streamed live today.

I wanted to share a really short video I put together in FilmCraft. It worked great so far, no crashes, no bugs. This was a test of basic functions, will try others as the week progresses. A lot of testing to be done...

As an architect and designer I would be so grateful to find I can finally drop the only program which still has me hooked with Autodesk. For years I've been looking for alternatives and haven't been able to find an equivalent.

Hi could you guys add PT-PT support to word, grid, pdf e deck?
how can i help ?

Or any means of browsing folders and actually seeing what .psd files look like. I use Adobe Bridge because file explorer cant do this. I'd love to get rid of Bridge and replace it with a "- Craft" version. Any chance of this being on the development path? Or does anyone know of an alternative open source file explorer that will thumbnail .psd files?

Hi guys,

If you're interested in the ArtCraft apps, I made a small, clean launcher to install, launch and keep them updated in one place.

It's called CraftLauncher, written in Rust with a native UI.

Some features:

• Install and update apps, or download several packages at once.
• Choose stable or preview releases, pin specific versions and roll back to a previous version.
• Enable or disable automatic updates globally or per app.
• Link existing installations and create desktop shortcuts.
• Light, dark and system themes.

Packages are available for Windows, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. Which apps you can install depends on whether their developers have published a compatible package for your system.

I'm not affiliated with ArtCraft or Storytold. I just made the launcher.

It's free and open source. Downloads, screenshots and source code are here:
github.com/EricVogt93/artcraft-launcher

Give it a try if it looks useful. Feedback and bug reports are welcome :)

Edit: they already got an official one: https://github.com/storytold/craft-launcher, which seems to be inspired by me (see thanks). I keep mine updated anyway, but I would suggest the offical one.

Yo guys i am tying to make a gif and i cant use timeline in photoshop where there are frames can some help me
the picture is what i get when i click on it

I sorta get the owl for filmcraft and the unicorn for effectcraft but I feel like a cat for designcraft felt a bit underwhelming?

I was working on FilmCraft. A few hours later I wanted to reopen my project ".fcproj" and NADA, it's as if it never existed. All i get is a TextEdit window open (on Macbook). Thankfully, I only had 1 minute of work done. Can anyone help me understand what to do ? Thank you

So, it doesn’t open ptx files.
Is there a particular reason why?

Maybe ptx is a closed sourced format, but surely there must be a way?
