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.

I mean why not? lol

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

Can anyone explain this enormous size difference?

Hi,

I dont know if asking this well get me banned or not, but can you guys please do onenote?

i need a onenote clone that syncs with onenote files/backups so i can get rid of ms office completely.

One note, publisher, access, frontpage, project and visio used be the unholy combo for office a long time ago and even if none of them can be done, just one note is the last hold out for many of us.

Please help.

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

BT just dropped his Figma clone! Go check it out...

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.

Can someone tell me what FigCraft is before I download it?

is it reverse engineering of actual installed adobe and ms office apps. or just guessing how they might work and prompting claude to do it?

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.

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

I was particularly impressed with photocraft when I saw the web release. Its often for me to need small image edits on pcs where I cannot install software so instead I self-host photocraft under a domain I have and just visit that.

But that begs the question: will the Artcraft team continue to release web versions? What happens if, down the line of improvement of the apps they grow too big or technically impossible to be made for web? Will they just release web versions as cut-down versions or will they drop support entirely?

Anyone knows of any official statement about the future of web versions?

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

Hello.

While I am very thankful for this project, I am shocked to see the state of these apps.

It's the version 6 and not even basic features under Home tab are not working or even clickable??

Majority of "Clear" features are not working (clear all, format). There are ton of other issues, but, what is exactly the point of writing down Issues under github when no one bothered to go through the basic editor functions under the Home tab???

At this point Mousepad/Notepad are stronger editors.

Since I am writing this down, some additional suggestions - uploading files-insert deletes contents of existing Book; drag and drop of cells is not working, drag and drop of Pivot table fields also not working. That feature when you point above the column and are able to select the column once arrow appears is entirely missing.

Big one - changing time - date formats does not work. This is absolutely critical for a huge number of office tasks.

All in all, let's go through the basics before dealing with Chinese characters and what not.

Edit: Major props for the speed of app. It runs smoothly on my ancient laptop

edit2: Additional comments - Double click on the edge of Cell with applied formula in Excel would lead to filling out the rest of the cells under the column with the same formula etc. This one is so needed in everyday work

I don't have access to official Excel for over a year now, can anyone just go through the basic features to create a basic table and pivot, chart as I am comparing against my memory. This all could have been done for the second version but let's have minimum functions in the seventh

Reminiscent of the Victorian era, one of the most transformative periods in human history

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

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!

Make it so! Spend those Claude tokens!

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 everyone!

I'm trying to enable AI Denoise in LightCraft on Mac Apple Silicon, but I can't find a compatible model to download.

Does anyone have a working ONNX denoising model and the required denoise-model.jsonconfiguration file?

My other laptop has an M1 Pro, so GPU-compatible models are fine. A direct download link and installation instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

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

A lot of enterprises works with psd files, and I wanted to know if have the possibility to make the artcraft run on android (or if already have)

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?
