What this site does
- Points you to the official download routes and explains each build.
- Writes the install and verification steps the project does not spell out for every platform.
- Publishes a keyboard-shortcut cheat sheet extracted from the project’s source code.
- Compares PhotoCraft with Photoshop using only the project’s own documents and Adobe’s own pages.
What it does not do
- It hosts no installers. Every download link goes to an official source.
- It does not use ArtCraft’s logos or brand assets. The project’s brand license reserves them for the PhotoCraft repository and official builds.
- It does not quote prices. Adobe’s vary by country and change often.
How facts are sourced and checked
- Every page ends with a Sources list. Each source was opened and read on the date shown, not taken from a search snippet. Chips next to a claim link to the page behind it.
- Project facts come from PhotoCraft’s own repository: the README, the roadmap, the documentation book and the source code. Numbers the project reports about itself, such as test results, are labelled as the project’s own.
- Photoshop facts come from Adobe’s help pages and product page. Third-party reviews are named and attributed, and treated as one person’s experience.
- The shortcut tables are generated by a script that reads the project’s source at a pinned commit, so they list only keys that exist in the code.
- PhotoCraft is an early alpha that changes daily. Each page shows when it was last verified, and the latest version number is never presented as current.
