Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

LayerShop is a Windows image editor built on the Rust-based PhotoCraft engine that adds an AI Gen panel for generative editing, backed by a locally managed ComfyUI instance. It notably lands AI results as named, masked layers, supports prompt references from open documents, and offers a setup wizard for local models plus optional cloud providers. The combination is a practical take on inpainting-native workflows, though it is a fork product rather than an original editor.

Target audience: graphic designers and photographers with NVIDIA GPUs who want local, privacy-preserving generative image editing
