Open-Source Rust Alternatives to Adobe Apps

ArtCraft develops open-source tools for artists, emphasizing control and expression over Adobe's applications. Their tool enables users to manipulate images, backgrounds, and foreground elements in a scene, creating a cohesive composition. Artists can integrate 3D objects and use image cutouts, worlds, and 3D meshes to position elements with precision.

The software allows users to dynamically pose characters and remove backgrounds, preparing assets for compositing. All operations are performed online, eliminating the need for installation. ArtCraft is free to use and own, with no subscriptions, middlemen, or rental fees. The entire platform is available on GitHub, allowing users to access, fork, and modify the code according to their needs.
