Has anyone heard of or used PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, FilmCraft, LightCraft, PDF Craft, EffectCraft, DesignCraft, or WordCraft? Apparently they are free & open source.
I'm just curious if they are worth the hype.

Here's the link:

I saw that on the pricing page, but on the home page where the downloads are, it doesn't say anything like that.

Why not just download and try. I got a couple of linux appimages, not large files 70 - 80 MB

The interface is a bit big for a HD (1920x1080) display, probably intended for those with a 4K monitor.

Not an intensive trial, if everything works there is a lot there, the photo opened a raw file straight away. For linux, the print function actually worked (to my amazement). All the color modes and bit depths there.

The vector app much the same, opened an old pdf, used default fonts and a message if you wanted to find the original. You can save(export) as a SVG or PDF.

A couple of 50% screenshots:

Thankd for your take on it Rich2005. I might try the AI powered photoshop alternative. I'd never heard about it before.
