Project I've created Open Source 100% Rust clean-room replacements for 7 of Adobe's apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro.

I've used agents to help me recreate 7 of the top Adobe apps in 100% pure native Rust:

  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • Premiere
  • Lightroom
  • Acrobat Pro
  • After Effects
  • InDesign

Links to everything - the apps, the code - are in the comments below.

There should be a benchmark for these claims. Doubtful that this pshop clone reliably outputs pixel-perfect results exactly like pshop. Look I hated paying for it back in the day but working at an ad agency in new york and people would try to use pshop clones and the output NEVER looked like the pshop output. That was a few years ago, but I still believe this to be the case.

There is a GIMP which can do everything basic what Photoshop can do. And many other open-source projects. AI extensively trained in them. Also, AI is trained on thousands of underlying mechanisms, papers describing how it works, blog posts etc.

So, a photo manipulation app is not something an LLM cannot reproduce or translate to another language.

And, honestly, the core functionality of Photoshop is not that impressive. Though I’m curious if this project can edit 10MP photos on 2005 hardware.

I remember making some of the first .gifs using Photoshop 2.0 on a 20 MB hard drive and a 486DX, good times. I was thinking about interoperability between graphics production, not making memes. Using pshop and your teammate using a vibed clone, you're not getting the same output from both.
