Free tool: ArcBrush Designer Albert Omoss's intriguing node-based desktop image editor is pitched as a free #Photoshop alternative for #gameart, texture editing and #illustration work cgchannel.com/2026/05/arcbru… #ArcBrush #imageediting #gamedev #texturing @albertomoss

@Valerush6 Possibly in the future. ComfyUI already fills the local models niche. This app is more aimed at people that want to focus mostly on classic image editing, and don’t care to deal with local models.

@ArcBrushApp I already have a "remove background" and an AI Upscaler installed locally (including SDXL and Flux 2) , they run fine on a 12GB GPU. Would you implement the possibility to link your app to local models?

ArcBrush 1.0.3 is out • Laptops with hybrid graphics (NVIDIA Optimus, AMD PowerXpress) no longer launch into a black window. • Eyedropper button for every gradient stop in the Gradient and Gradient Map editors.

Also in 1.0.3: • Curves: improved mouse interaction with control points. • Polar Remap: a newly added node now matches the Mode dropdown immediately. arcbrush.com/download

@rand_handle Should be fixed in the latest release 1.0.3

@ArcBrushApp installed on Windows doesnt seem to boot ... opens but blank page ...

@theinformalist This is just a feature of the installer. If you already have the app installed it skips the install location prompt and uses the previous install location. This functionality was disabled in the 1.0.3 installer so it should ask you every time now where to install.

@ArcBrushApp Why was the option to choose the installation folder removed? I installed version 1.0.0 in a folder on another drive, and now the current version is automatically installed in a pre-determined folder. 🙃

ArcBrush 1.0.2 is out Non-Latin filenames and text (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and more) now render correctly throughout the app. Recent files, tooltips, node titles, Text node previews.

ArcBrush 1.0.1 is out FIXED: File paths with accented characters and non-Latin scripts now load, save, and drag-and-drop correctly throughout the app.

A few months ago I started writing a Photoshop alternative built on a node graph. Mac and Windows, native C++, 75 nodes. Every operation is non-destructive. Paint, masks, warps, the whole toolset. Nothing bakes. ArcBrush 1.0 is live today!
