Documentation
# Photo Editor (Pro)
Professional raster image editor, powered by GIMP.
## How it runs
GIMP is a desktop GTK app — there's no web build. This app streams GIMP to your browser via a KasmVNC sandbox; project files live on `/data/home/projects`. Also available natively via the osFoundry desktop client (recommended — direct GPU + stylus + filesystem access).
## Features
- Layers, masks, channels, paths, smart selection
- 100+ filters + animation tools
- RAW import (via UFRaw/darktable)
- Scripting: Python, Script-Fu (Scheme), Perl
- Plugin ecosystem (G'MIC, Resynthesizer, Wavelet Decompose, ...)
- PSD / PDF / TIFF / WebP / HEIF / RAW import
- 32-bit per channel
## Streaming caveat
GIMP works fine streamed for cuts/crops/light filter work. Heavy multi-layer compositing benefits from native (no KasmVNC compression latency on each brush stroke).
