## What it is
ArtCraft is an open-source desktop application for interactive AI image and video creation, described as 'the IDE for artists'. It provides advanced crafting features like 3D and 2D image compositing, layers, background removal, and scene consistency tools for artists, designers, and filmmakers.

## Use cases
- generate ai images with precise control
- create consistent ai video scenes for filmmaking
- composite images in 3d scenes with depth
- remove backgrounds and layer images
- place virtual actors into physical environments
- open source photoshop alternative for ai art

## When to choose
- you need control and repeatability over ai image generation, not just text-to-image
- you are a filmmaker needing scene and location consistency across shots
- you want an open-source desktop tool for ai image and video compositing

## When to avoid
- you only need simple one-off text-to-image prompts
- you need a fully scriptable headless pipeline rather than a gui app
- you require a permissively licensed project - the license is non-standard
