CLUSTER EDITING-DESKTOP-IMAGE · 24 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-09-07
Desktop image editing apps
The cluster consists of desktop applications primarily focused on photo and image editing, including raw development, batch processing, retouching, upscaling, and restoration. Dated entries appear sporadically from September 2015 through July 2026, typically one per month with long gaps and a single month showing two entries; five members lack source dates. Traction is led by AI-Photo-Restorer-Upscaler-Windows (1 star), with all others at 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
