Redditor proposes local AI photo editing assistant: LLM + vision + Photoshop automation

No-Piano-601 · reddit · 2026-11-14

A photographer wants to build a local AI editing assistant: not filters or image generation, but a system that understands professional retouching techniques and executes them through Photoshop/Lightroom. Target workflows include exposure blending, luminosity masks, focus stacking and panoramas for landscapes, plus frequency separation, skin retouching and skin-tone correction for portraits, while preserving editable layers and masks.

Hardware is an RTX 5060 8GB with 64GB RAM and prior Ollama experience; the plan combines local vision-language models, Python/OpenCV, Photoshop UXP automation and a tutorial knowledge base. They're asking whether similar open-source projects exist and whether this stack is viable.
