Photovibe is early software. The roadmap lists exactly what is still missing — layer masks, adjustment layers, export dialogs, filters and PSD support among them.

Tagging v* runs .github/workflows/release.yml, which
builds the NSIS installer, signs it with a public-trust Authenticode certificate through
Azure Trusted Signing (authenticated by GitHub OIDC — no long-lived credential lives in
this repository), and publishes it with a SHA256SUMS file. See
Azure artifact signing and
Installing and verifying.
The site at photovibe.mory.dev lives in site/ and is
