Adobe Photoshop is getting an AI assistant: What to expect

Adobe has recently announced that they are bringing a new AI assistant to Photoshop. Along with that, the company is also adding more editing features to its Firefly platform. The Photoshop AI assistant has started rolling out for the beta users on the web and mobile apps. The feature also enables users to edit images using text prompts instead of complex manual processes. On the other hand, Adobe is also improving Firefly by adding new AI-powered tools for editing images, making it easier to remove objects, increase the size of images, and edit the background.

Survey

The AI assistant in Photoshop was first introduced during Adobe’s MAX event in October last year. With the beta rollout, users can now try the feature across web and mobile versions of Photoshop. The assistant allows people to type instructions in natural language to make changes to an image.

For example, users can ask the tool to remove objects or people from a photo, adjust lighting, or change colours. It can also add effects such as a soft glow, enhance shadows, crop an image into a specific format, or transform the background to give the image a different look.

Adobe said paid Photoshop users will be able to generate unlimited AI edits using the assistant until April 9. Free users will get 20 generations to begin with.

The company is also testing a feature called AI markup, which is now available in public beta. This tool allows users to draw simple marks on the screen and ask the AI assistant to modify those areas. A user can sketch a flower to add it to the image or mark an unwanted object so the AI can remove it from the scene.

Alongside the Photoshop updates, Adobe is expanding the capabilities of its Firefly media creation platform. Firefly is now getting Generative Fill, a feature that has already been popular inside Photoshop. It allows users to replace or add objects while adjusting the background automatically.

Firefly is also gaining generative remove for deleting objects, generative expand to increase image size using AI, and generative upscale to improve image resolution. In addition, Adobe is introducing a one-click background removal tool.

Adobe said earlier in February that Firefly subscribers can now generate unlimited images. The company has also added more than 25 third-party image and video generation models, including options from Google, OpenAI, Runway, and Black Forest Labs.
