I've seen these posted and amplified in a few places over the past few days now, has anyone who is familiar with the adobe suite actually tried these in depth and can comment on their fidelity/quality?

I tried Lightcraft (Lightroom alternative) for some color correction. It worked fine and the UI is very similar to Lightroom. Though I must disclose I'm not an advanced Lightroom user by any means.

Apparently the web version doesn't have the Photoshop clone.

I compiled and ran the macOS version in a sandbox, and it's indeed a working Photoshop clone, all the features I expected were there.

I only played with it for 10 minutes, and I did not use regular PhotoShop for some time, but this felt very similar to me.

When trying to Export my DNG as a JPG, the file is not being written and there is no error message. It might be because I'm running it in a sandbox.

I've used this Photon Studio[0] one and it's very much like Photoshop, no difference on anything I tried to edit my photos.
