Could you build this?
No Building a full-fledged native layered image editor with non-destructive composition, blend modes, rendering pipelines, and cross-platform desktop UI requires deep computer graphics and systems programming expertise.
What it would actually take: A real layered image editor requires a graphics rendering engine (C++/Rust with OpenGL/Vulkan, Skia, or WebGPU) handling canvas transformations, tile-based caching, blend modes, and undo/redo stacks. It demands high-performance memory management to handle multi-megapixel image buffers without lag, alongside native GUI integration (such as Qt or GTK) for Linux. Deep domain knowledge in digital image processing, rasterization algorithms, and graphics pipelines is required.
