Layerhand retouches a photograph inside Photopea, a real image editor you watch, instead of returning a generated picture. GPT-6 Astra operates the toolbar the way a retoucher would, one step at a time, and you watch it happen. Type a mid-run correction while it still works and later steps bend around that note instead of restarting the run. The download is a layered PSD with named layers, editable masks, and adjustments still yours to change, plus a flattened PNG preview.
