Could you build this?
Partial While basic MCP integration and UI can be vibe-coded, building a performant native macOS film development and photo editing engine with local Apple Silicon ML pipelines requires deep low-level graphics and Metal optimization.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a native Swift/macOS app leveraging Metal, CoreImage, and MPSGraph/CoreML for real-time high-bit-depth RAW film emulation and local model execution. The hardest part is writing performant GPU shaders for film grain, color grading LUTs, and optical simulation without frame drops on 50MP+ images. Developing this requires specialized experience in digital image processing pipelines and Apple Silicon GPU performance tuning.
