Adobe has introduced a new set of innovations to its Photoshop tool to give you more options when it comes to creating, more flexibility in the way you work, and greater control over the results.

Whether you’re refining details with precision tools or exploring ideas with prompts, these updates are designed to help you work more efficiently and confidently, so you can stay focused on your creative vision from start to finish.

More precision, less friction and greater creative control

As a creative professional, your time is a critical resource, and you want technology that streamlines repetitive tasks without sacrificing the freedom and judgment that define your work.

Sharper and more precise editing:

  • Light adjustment layer offers professional-grade lighting controls (Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Blacks and Whites) on a new non-destructive adjustment layer, so you can get Camera Raw-level results without ever leaving your Photoshop layered workflow.
  • Editing using instructions with maskspowered by Firefly Image 5, understands the entire context of your image so you no longer have to precisely mark each area you want to edit. You just have to describe the specific changes you are looking for using simple prompts, such as opening closed eyes or placing a hat on a specific person’s head. Unmasked areas remain intact, so other important elements, such as faces, logos, or brand assets, are protected.
  • Markup allows you to visually communicate edits by drawing directly on an image to show the model what you want: select areas to change color, draw arrows to indicate a position, or trace rough shapes with the brush to suggest new elements. This way you can get results that better fit your vision and reduce the ambiguity of text-only prompts.
  • Text, shapes and dynamic paths Extends dynamic Photoshop text to any custom shape or path, allowing text to automatically adapt to curves and free-form compositions so you can preserve formatting without having to redo it manually.
  • Stock panel integration puts over 900 million Adobe Stock assets directly into Photoshop, inside a dockable panel, so you can discover, preview and use resources easily without leaving your workflow.

Introducing AI Assisted Editor

AI Assisted Editor, now in beta, gives you the option to use a dedicated interface and natural language prompt bar along with popular generative tools based on leading AI models, so you can explore ideas and make edits using simple prompts.

AI Assisted Editor includes:

  • Prompt to edit: transforms images using natural language prompts without the need for complex manual editing.
  • Remove background: remove backgrounds, refine borders, and customize images in just a few clicks.
  • Generative extension: Expand the dimensions of the image and generate content that integrates naturally with your composition.
  • Remove Tool: Eliminates unwanted objects and distractions while maintaining realistic image quality.
  • Generative fill: Add, replace or delete content using simple text prompts.
  • Generative scaling: increases image resolution while preserving sharpness and visual fidelity.
  • AI Markup: annotate images to visually communicate edits and generate more accurate results.

Prompt to edit Photoshop offers the same natural language editing directly in the Pro Editor’s Context Taskbar, so you can transform an entire image using simple prompts, without the need to make any selections, directly from the context bar you already use. Each Edit Prompt result becomes a generative layer within your layer stack, so your edits stay organized and non-destructive.

Whether you prefer to use prompts, precision tools, or a combination of both, Photoshop offers the flexibility to adapt to the way you create.
