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

说明与用途

在 Mac mini M4 上的三款免费开源 Adobe 克隆（PhotoCraft、FilmCraft、EffectCraft）在几秒钟内完成核心任务，生成可编辑的 PSD、批量 JPEG、MP4 和动画，但某些功能（如背景去除）不够完善。

问题

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

结果

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.

工作流

• 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)

证据

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

来源

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.
