Why it holds up
Built so your work survives.
A save never half-happens.
Your file is only replaced once the new copy is complete. Cut a session short and BeforeEdit offers the recovery copy on the next launch.
Your agent edits through MCP.
The bundled local MCP companion gives your agent tools for layers, vectors, pixel art and frames, inside the folders you allow. You direct it and keep the master.
Clean files out.
Keep a .bephoto project as the editable master. Export images or PSD. Pixel work saves as .bepixel, frames, layers and timing included.
Before, then edit
Eight pictures. Same editor.
