LayerShop 0.9.0 Preview 1

LayerShop is a Photoshop-style image editor with generative AI built in. It is based on PhotoCraft by the ArtCraft team, and this preview includes PhotoCraft 0.9.0.

This is the first preview. It runs on Windows 10 and 11 (x64) only.

What's in it

• AI Gen panel (Window › AI Gen). Create makes a new image from a prompt. Edit changes the picture you have (Change, Restyle). The result goes on a new layer, masked by your selection.
• Local models through ComfyUI, or cloud models with your own API key (OpenAI, Google Gemini, xAI, Black Forest Labs FLUX and more). Set them up in Edit › Preferences › Generative AI.
• Set Up Local AI (File menu): a wizard that installs ComfyUI and the recommended models for you, or connects to a ComfyUI you already have.
• Generated layers remember their settings. Click one in the Layers panel and the panel loads its model, prompt and settings again. The settings are saved in .pcraft, PSD/PSB and layered TIFF files.
• Everything in PhotoCraft 0.9.0.

Downloads

File	What it is
photocraft-0.9.0-windows-x64.msi	Installer (Start Menu shortcut, file associations)
photocraft-0.9.0-windows-x64-portable.zip	Portable: unzip and run photocraft.exe. Settings stay in the folder
SHA256SUMS.txt	Checksums

The program file is still called photocraft.exe.

Known limitations

• The files are not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info › Run anyway.
• The local AI setup installs ComfyUI for NVIDIA GPUs. Model downloads are large, several GB each.
• Some recommended models are licensed for non-commercial use only. Check a model's licence before using its images commercially.
• The Japanese fonts that official PhotoCraft releases embed are not in this build.
