I Tested 3 Free, Open-Source Adobe Clones on My Mac. Here Are the Real Numbers.

Описание и применение

Три бесплатных открытых аналога Adobe (PhotoCraft, FilmCraft, EffectCraft) на Mac mini M4 выполняют основные задачи за секунды, создавая редактируемые PSD, пакетные JPEG, MP4 и анимацию, но некоторые функции, как удаление фона, не идеальны.

Задача

Can free, open‑source Adobe‑style apps replace paid tools for everyday creative tasks on a Mac?

Результат

The three ArtCraft apps completed tasks in seconds, producing editable PSDs, batch‑edited JPEGs, a 16‑second MP4, and a 4‑second title animation. Performance is comparable to commercial tools, though some features (e.g., background removal quality) lag behind Photoshop.

Рабочий процесс

• Install ArtCraft apps on Mac mini M4
• Run PhotoCraft CLI to auto‑tone, remove background, add layers, and drop shadow (0.23 s)
• Batch‑process 20 product photos with CLI actions (1.75 s)
• Create 16‑second travel reel in FilmCraft and export (12.5 s)
• Script a 4‑second animated title in EffectCraft and render (0.99 s)

Доказательства

PhotoCraft looks almost exactly like Photoshop: same toolbar, same panels, same layers.

Источник

The edit: auto tone, remove background, yellow fill layer behind the subject, two text layers, drop shadow. From the command line (photocraft-cli 0.9.0), the whole thing took 0.23 seconds and saved a real layered PSD with every layer still editable.

Result: 20 succeeded, 0 failed, 1.75 seconds.

FilmCraft doesn’t use FFmpeg; its H.264, HEVC, ProRes and AAC codecs are written from scratch in Rust.
