Compositor

OmaPhoto is a layered image editor for Linux, developed first for Omarchy. It provides layers, folders, masks, clipping masks, blend modes, selections, painting and retouching tools, transforms, adjustment layers, layer effects, filters, text, shapes, and image export. It imports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, Photoshop files, and camera RAW images. OmaPhoto is a Linux port of Wonder Assembly's macOS Compositor and follows Compositor's tools, menus, shortcuts, and layered project format. It can read and write .comp projects so projects can move between the two applications. Its offline Remove Background feature uses U²-Net through ONNX Runtime; the editor also includes Content-Aware Fill, Gaussian and motion blur, noise, lens correction, and other image adjustments. The project distributes packages for x86_64 Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, and NixOS systems, and can also be built from source with Docker or a C++20, Qt 6.4-or-later, CMake, Ninja, image-format, RAW-processing, font, and ONNX Runtime toolchain. It is licensed under MIT.

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc., used for image editing, compositing, digital painting, and graphic design. First released in 1990, it is available for Windows, macOS, web and mobile platforms.

Palmier Pro is a Swift-native macOS video editor built for AI, with generative video and image models integrated into the timeline. It can expose a local MCP server at http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp for connections from Claude, Codex, and Cursor, and includes an in-app agent that can create and edit within the same project. It requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later on Apple Silicon. Releases through v0.7.6 and the corresponding published source are available under GPLv3; later binary releases are proprietary.

WolfCut is a free, open-source native video editor positioned as a CapCut replacement. Its Rust engine handles cutting and encoding, while a React interface provides multi-track editing, multiple timelines per project, splitting, trimming, merging, transitions, speed control, titles, styled text, templates, and voice filters. The application includes local text-to-speech and auto-caption features; captions run on the user's machine and audio is not sent elsewhere. It is designed to run without watermarks, accounts, subscriptions, or additional downloads, and supports macOS, Windows, Linux, and Nix. The repository describes it as an alpha pre-release distributed through GitHub Releases.

OpenCut is a free, open-source video editor for the web, desktop, and mobile, positioned as a local alternative to CapCut. It provides basic video-editing capabilities while keeping users' video files on their devices. The project is being rewritten around a Rust core intended to support browser, desktop, and mobile clients from one codebase. The planned architecture includes an Editor API, third-party plugins, an MCP server for AI agents, headless batch rendering, and an in-editor scripting tab. The existing classic version remains available through opencut.app while the rewrite is developed at new.opencut.app. OpenCut is licensed under the MIT License.
