Could you build this?
No A full-featured in-browser Photoshop equivalent with layer engines and PSD parsing requires deep graphics programming and performance optimization far beyond standard vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Building an app like Photopea or PhotoCraft requires WebAssembly (Wasm) paired with C++ or Rust, rendering directly onto HTML5 WebGL/WebGPU canvases. It requires custom low-level parsers for Adobe's proprietary PSD specification, custom raster/vector blending algorithms, non-destructive adjustment layers, and complex memory management to manipulate multi-gigabyte images in the browser without crashing.
