Adobe is adding more AI to Photoshop

Adobe is rolling out a new AI-heavy update for Photoshop featuring an optional interface for AI tools and enhanced editing capabilities.

Summary

Adobe is rolling out an AI-heavy update for Photoshop that introduces a new "optional" interface dedicated to its AI tools. Launching in beta, the "AI Assisted Editor" view consolidates Photoshop's AI features into a single toolbar, including its prompt-based image editor, background remover, and AI image extender. The update also introduces new ways to refine edits with AI, such as a "markup" feature that allows users to draw directly on an image to guide the AI assistant. This feature enables users to "select areas to recolor, sketch arrows to indicate position, or brush in rough shapes to suggest new elements" without using a text prompt. Additionally, Adobe is updating its "Instruct Edit with Masks" feature, which now uses natural language prompts to edit masks. The company states that its Firefly Image 5 model now understands the entire context of an image, allowing users to describe changes like opening closed eyes or placing a hat on someone's head without manually marking every area.
