Apps · assets · Cards
See what a workflow starts with, what each app contributes, and what stays with the resulting Card.
The catalog maps planned workflows across the open app set. The first step-by-step guides cover image work in GIMP; further guides will be added as app roles, source formats, outputs, and handoffs are confirmed. Every workflow is an independent, file-based process unless a guide explicitly says otherwise. A catalog entry does not imply a native CinterForge integration or partner endorsement.
