Step 1: install PhotoCraft the easy way

Go to the download section on the PhotoCraft home page and choose the package that matches your device. Windows users usually want the MSI build first, while portable ZIP builds are better for testing or travel.

If you are unsure which file to choose, use the installation guide linked from the home page. It already breaks the process down by operating system.

Step 2: open an image or a PSD file

Once PhotoCraft launches, open a normal image file or a PSD document from the file menu. One of PhotoCraft’s strongest points is that it can work with real PSD files, so it is useful even if your files originated in Photoshop.

If you only want a quick browser-based test before installing, use the free online editor on the home page. That gives you a fast preview of the overall workflow.

Step 3: work with layers, masks, and adjustments

Keep edits non-destructive whenever possible. Duplicate the layer, add an adjustment layer, and use masks when you want to limit a change to part of the image.

That single habit makes PhotoCraft easier to learn and keeps your files flexible when you come back to them later.

Step 4: export your final image

After editing, export the final result in the format you need for web delivery, sharing, or archive storage. Keep the layered master file if you think you will revise the image again.

If you want more detail on each step, the best next move is to return to the main PhotoCraft home page and open the installation guide, tutorials, and feature pages from there.
