What you need first
- A download from the PhotoCraft page, or Rust to build from source

- Edit layers, masks, adjustment layers and type
- Save as PSD or export to PNG, JPEG, TIFF or WebP
Prompt for your agent
Help me install storytold/photocraft and open <file.psd>. List any layers or effects it warns it cannot model, then export a PNG.
Caveat. Early alpha: re-saved files are not byte-identical, and some tools and generative features are missing.
