Could you build this?

Partial Layers, masks, and basic non-destructive edits can be assembled from existing image libraries, but a competitive photo/video editor with pro-grade quality and performance is a large engineering effort.

What it would actually take: Build on a GPU-accelerated image pipeline (Skia, OpenGL/Vulkan, or WebGPU) with a non-destructive edit-stack data model. Use libraries like libraw and OpenCV for decoding and filters. The hard parts are color-accurate rendering, performant large-file handling, and tuned AI features, which need graphics and imaging engineers.
