Building a Realtime Photoshop 🎨

Chris Bongers on August 15, 2020

We're going to do something amazing this weekend - we'll be re-creating Photoshop! Well, not entirely, but we'll be re-creating the image filters ...

Check out my pen (Clrd.), I didn't use any CSS filters, but actually programmed those filters myself in JS (so the processing is really slow, but hey, it works).

Hey Wali,

That's proper amazing man!
Can't believe you made these in JS from scratch 🀟

Do you have any idea to export the edited image as it rendered in browser?

Hmm I have a unverified idea, that Canvas might be an option, but going to do some research on this topic.

Great job!

I’m wondering if we can load RAW images and howβ€˜s the performance when working with let’s say 20 MP jpeg image.

Hi Galuh,

First, thank you so much for the respect here.

As too RAW, unfortunately not as "image" we could convert the RAW image to a base64 encode, but that removes all meta stuff you actually want in a RAW image.

As for big images the following uses a 54MB picture!
