Roadmap
What Photovibe can do today, what is greyed out in the menus, and what is planned next.
Photovibe is early software, and this page says plainly where it stands. If a menu entry is greyed out in the app, it is listed below as not done — no feature is claimed here that you cannot use today.

These appear in the menus, greyed out:
| Feature | Menu |
|---|---|
| Export PNG / JPEG / WebP dialogs | File |
| Open Recent | File |
| Cut and Copy | Edit |
| Canvas Size | Image |

| Refine Edge | Select |
| Filter Gallery, Apply Last Filter | Filter |
| Keyboard Shortcuts reference | Help |
Planned
Roughly in the order we intend to tackle them:
- Export dialogs — explicit PNG, JPEG and WebP export with quality control, rather than saving back over the source file.
- Layer masks — non-destructive masking, the single biggest gap against Photoshop.
- Adjustment layers — levels, curves, hue/saturation, applied non-destructively.
- Canvas transforms — canvas size, rotate and flip.
- Selection refinement — invert, feather, grow and shrink.
- Filters — a small, honest set of filters rather than a large weak one.
- macOS and Linux builds — the Tauri shell already supports both; they need signing, notarisation and testing before we publish them.
Ideas and requests
The roadmap is not fixed. If something you need is missing, open an issue at github.com/mory-dev/photovibe/issues — what people actually ask for moves up this list.
