Editmamei
Install

Unlock Photoshop with
natural-language photo editing.

AI orchestration, not generation.

You describe the edit. The AI plans the steps. Your own copy of Photoshop carries them out, using its standard adjustment layers, masks, selections, and filters. The AI directs; Photoshop edits.

Not a web app. Not a cloud editor. Runs on your computer with the Photoshop you already have installed.

The demo · Hawaii bay wall art

Watch it build the edit, layer by layer, checking in with you.

You describe the look. The AI opens your Photoshop, builds the adjustment layers one at a time, pauses to confirm a judgment call, then finishes. Every step a real, editable layer.

A scripted demonstration: the user asks for a print-ready wall-art edit of a Hawaii coast photo. The AI opens it in Photoshop and builds adjustment layers one at a time, pauses to ask whether the rock looks too cool, the user replies “a touch warmer”, the AI warms the rock and finishes with a 16:9 crop. Every step stays an editable Photoshop layer.

Inspect the layers · Set Sail

Set sail.

A full editorial workup for a wide-angle iPhone sailing shot. Deepens sky and ocean toward cobalt, paints golden-hour warmth at the horizon, recovers blown highlights, sharpens the rigging, and finishes on a soft focus vignette.

Drag the bar (or use ← → on the keyboard) to compare. Left of the line is the finished edit; right is the original.

How it works

You talk. Photoshop works.

For years, getting the look in your head meant nudging sliders and hunting for a tutorial that matched your exact shot. Editmamei plugs your AI chat assistant straight into the desktop Photoshop you already have. You describe what you want, the way you'd tell a friend, and it builds the layers, makes the adjustments, and hands back the finished photo.

Step by step, here's the round-trip behind a single adjustment.

    More to adjust? The AI sends another instruction. Looks done? It hands back to you.

  7. AI assistant You

    “done: your photo's ready, fully layered and editable”

The AI is the director; Photoshop is the hands. Both live where they already do: the AI in the cloud, Photoshop on your computer.

Edited, not generated.

Most "AI photo" tools are generative. They invent new pixels: skies, objects, even faces that were never in your shot. Editmamei doesn't do that. It works only with the pixels you captured, using the same non-generative Photoshop tools professionals have used for years: adjustment layers, masks, selections, filters. The AI is the director, not the artist. Your photo is yours, just finished faster.

Your files, your machine.

The editing runs in your own Photoshop, on your own computer. There's no Editmamei cloud your library gets uploaded to. When your AI assistant needs to see the result, a downscaled preview is sent to it (the cloud assistant you chose), the same as sharing a photo in a chat. Editmamei's own telemetry is content-free: anonymous usage you can audit and switch off.
