CLUSTER GPU-IMAGE-ACCELERATED · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-10-02
GPU-accelerated image editing tools
This cluster consists of desktop applications for GPU-accelerated image editing, including viewers, RAW editors, and raster editors, often with non-destructive editing and support for layers, masks, and HDR. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only 4 dated entries exist before the index start, so it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, eagle-viewer leads with 2 stars, while rapidraw and RapidRAW have 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 6 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.
