This independent Windows 11 x64 preview continues from 0.1.5. 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.

Command palette

Help → Command Palette… or Ctrl+Shift+P lists currently bound commands and tools. Type to filter, use the arrow keys to move the highlight, and press Enter to run the selected command.

Text, import, and filters

  • A partial text selection stays on the chosen glyphs, and the type menus keep the chosen font and style.
  • PSD and PSB import keeps Unicode layer names, converts 16-bit RGB channels to 8-bit, and imports individual layers from 16-bit files. When layer records cannot be decoded, the merged composite is imported and the import report lists the substitution. An installed Photoshop PostScript name maps to its DirectWrite family.
  • Welcome Import image, File → Import Image, Export Image, and Save Project open in Windows Explorer. An untitled import or save starts in Downloads. Save Project As starts in the current project folder. A second picker is refused. A JPEG name ending in .png is written as .jpg, and a PNG name ending in .jpg or .jpeg is written as .png.
  • Live text rows and the Type tool show an Aa glyph.
  • Filters → Last Filter (Ctrl+Alt+F) repeats the last Filters-menu apply with the same settings, as one undo step. Image-menu adjustments and Content-Aware Fill are not remembered.
  • While a Camera Raw slider is moving, the preview is limited to 1024 pixels on the long edge and then refines to 2048. OK still commits the full-resolution layer.
  • Color Overlay recolors a layer inside its existing alpha.

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.
