Compositor for Windows 0.1.5
Pre-releaseThis independent Windows 11 x64 preview continues from 0.1.4. It is based on Compositor 1.0.4 by Robbie Tilton at a19db9011282399785dc18efcfded904627bdcc2. The port does not imply upstream endorsement, and full Mac equivalence is not claimed.
Text and layers
- Type on the canvas with a caret. Double-click live text with the Move tool to edit it. Drag to highlight a range, double-click a word, and use Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right to move by word.
- Drag the Type tool to create a paragraph box. Corner and edge handles move or resize the box without scaling the type.
- The type bar sets the font, style, size, alignment, tracking, leading, and color of the selection. Several colors and faces in one layer are saved as text runs.
- Paragraph alignment, tracking, leading, a text box, and a non-regular font style are stored as project version 12. A document that does not use them stays on an older version.
- The Layers panel Effects menu adds a drop shadow, inner shadow, outer or inner glow, stroke, or color overlay without discarding live text. These effects are rendered on the CPU.
- Layer → Duplicate Layer is Ctrl+Shift+J. Ctrl+J remains Layer via Copy.
Photoshop import
8-bit RGB PSD and PSB files can import simple horizontal type as editable text, including family, size, color, and alignment. A missing font is drawn with Segoe UI. Full justification becomes left alignment. Vertical type, and type this editor cannot store, is imported as pixels. CMYK files are rejected. There is no PSD or PSB export.
Camera Raw Filter
Filter → Camera Raw Filter replaces the pixels of the active image layer. It is not an adjustment layer, and the grade is not stored in the .comp project. The panel docks to the right edge of the document window. OK commits one undo step named Camera Raw Filter and remembers the grade until the project closes. Cancel leaves both the pixels and the remembered grade unchanged. An unchanged grade adds no undo.
Hold Alt while dragging Exposure, Highlights, or Whites to preview highlight clipping, while dragging Shadows or Blacks to preview shadow clipping, and while dragging Masking to preview the sharpening mask. The white-balance, point-color, and defringe droppers, and guided upright lines, are sampled on the canvas.
There is no camera profile or kelvin preset. Guided Upright follows the drawn lines rather than a vanishing-point fit, and those guide lines are not drawn. Geometry is a CPU homography.

Limits
Downloads are unsigned. Updates are manual. Full Mac equivalence, reciprocal .comp exchange, and Photoshop compatibility remain unverified. Keep a copy of each complete .comp directory. See KNOWN-ISSUES.md for brush performance, background removal, and the checks that have not been run on a fresh Windows install.
