The photo editing assistant
you always needed.
AI orchestration, not generation.
Your AI assistant plans the edit from one sentence, and Photoshop carries it out layer by layer, so what comes back is a layered file you can keep working on by hand.
Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients.
Installs on your desktop, runs next to Photoshop.
GIMP support is in beta. See GIMP support
The result · Set Sail
Nine layers. Every one still editable.
A flat phone shot, graded in a single pass. Drag to compare, then open the stack and see exactly what changed.
Drag the bar (or use ← → on the keyboard) to compare. Left of the line is the finished edit; right is the original.
The original frame, finished.
Generative AI tools hand back a new picture that resembles your shot. Editmamei works the frame you captured, using Photoshop's own adjustment layers, masks, and filters. What comes back is an ordinary layered PSD, ready for fine-tuning by hand.
How it works
Describe it. Photoshop does it.
For years, getting the look in your head meant nudging sliders and hunting for a tutorial that matched your exact shot.

“warm the golden hour, lift the shadows, clean up the horizon”

Your files, your machine.
Editing happens on your desktop, in Photoshop or GIMP. There's no Editmamei cloud your library uploads to. When your AI assistant needs to see a result, a downscaled preview goes to it, the same as sharing a photo in a chat. Editmamei's own telemetry is content-free, and you can audit it or switch it off.
Install
Install in about a minute.
One click for Claude Desktop, two commands for everything else.
Requirements
- Adobe Photoshop 2026, internal version 27.x (earlier versions unverified), or GIMP 3.2 for the GIMP beta
- Windows 10/11 or macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon or Intel). The GIMP beta also runs on Linux, through npm.
- Node.js 22+, only for the npm path (Claude Desktop bundles its own runtime)
- An MCP-compatible AI client. Editmamei has no AI model, so every edit spends that client's tokens (see what an edit costs)
Supported clients
- Claude Desktop: one-click (.mcpb)
- Claude Code: npm
- Cursor: npm
Other MCP clients use the same config; the install guide has it.
