Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop canvas and drag-and-drop layout UI are straightforward to vibe-code, generating print-ready CMYK PDFs and layered PSD files requires complex graphics programming.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a desktop app stack (such as Rust/Tauri or C++ with Skia) integrating custom file format serializers and color management engines. The hardest components are writing binary Adobe PSD specifications and handling ICC color profile transformations for commercial CMYK print standards. This demands deep domain expertise in digital imaging and pre-press print production.
