Hi! I built PhotoCraft Guide because PhotoCraft (the open-source Photoshop alternative) is moving fast, and new users kept asking the same things: where's the safe download, does it open my PSDs, how is it different from Photoshop? The guide collects official download links, install steps, beginner editing lessons and an honest list of what's still missing. It's an unofficial guide and free. Feedback welcome!
