Shipped: LayerShop: Free, Open-Source Photoshop-Style Editor with Generative AI

LayerShop is a free, open-source, Photoshop-style desktop image editor with generative AI built directly into the editing workflow.

Instead of jumping between an AI generator and an image editor, you can create, modify and refine images directly on editable layers.

Key features:

• AI generation and editing: Text-to-image, inpainting, outpainting, restyling and targeted edits using selections or masks.
• Local and cloud models: Run models such as Qwen Image, FLUX and MOSS locally through ComfyUI, or connect to cloud providers using your own API keys.
• Automatic setup: A guided wizard installs ComfyUI and downloads the required models. No Python setup or node-based workflows required.
• Region-based generation: Draw bounding boxes to specify where individual objects should appear in generated images.
• Creative tools: Named image references, style presets, LoRA support, batch generation and animated GIF creation.
• Real image editing: Layers, masks, adjustment layers, familiar tools and PSD compatibility.

Built in Rust on top of the open-source PhotoCraft editor, LayerShop is currently available as a Windows 10/11 preview.

Free to use, with no subscription or generation credits required for local models.

I'm actively developing the project and would welcome feedback, early testers, contributions and ideas for new AI integrations.
