image-editor-pro is a desktop application that lets you edit images with layers, brushes, and filters. It uses a clear layout similar to Photoshop but is easy to use. You can undo and redo your actions, save work as an image or in the app’s project format, and apply effects like blur, sharpen, brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, grayscale, invert, and edge detection.
This app runs on Windows and uses PyQt6 for its interface. It is open-source and built for people who want a reliable tool for image editing without complex steps.
