      • 不想再为 Photoshop 付钱，可以看看 Compositor。 ✓ 免费开源的 Mac 修图软件 ✓ 图层、文件夹、混合模式按 PS 的顺序来 ✓ 图层蒙版、剪贴蒙版、调整图层、滤镜图层 ✓ 描边、投影这些图层样式也有 作者原本用 PS 做合成和后期，就照这个流程做的。 地址：

      • 感觉 AI 时代现在是鸿蒙 PC 生态的的好机会，之前总是说生态不行，特别是一些 sass 软件，比如 PS之类的。现在 Sass 软件本身就都快被淘汰了，以后会几种到 Agent 上面去。而且 Sass 软件本身的开发复刻成本被大幅降低，就像 PS 被 AI 轻易复刻出来。 这对鸿蒙 pc 生态是个机会

      • 真是令人绝望！ 一天发现两款完全代替 photoshop 的开源软件。 想成为一个能挣到钱的独立开发者真是太难了……想要企业不去淘汰更贵的人类简直太难了！

      • PS 的订阅费，可以省下了。 Compositor：免费开源的 Mac 修图软件，图层、蒙版、曲线、混合模式全套照搬 PS，快捷键都一样，能开 PSD 接着改。 20 天 8.4k star，MIT，brew 装好，要新 Mac。工程文件是一堆 PNG，AI agent 能直接上手改图。 #开源 #修图 #Mac
