Tech giant's flagship image editor gains a non-destructive Light Adjustment Layer, Firefly Image 5-powered Instruct Edit with Masks, visual Markup prompting, and a beta AI Assisted Editor in latest update.
This new non-destructive adjustment layer brings professional-grade lighting controls, including Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks, directly into Photoshop's layers workflow, delivering results comparable to Camera Raw.
Powered by Firefly Image 5, this feature allows users to describe desired edits with simple text prompts. The AI understands the image's context to apply changes precisely (e.g., opening closed eyes or placing an item on a person's head) while automatically protecting unmasked areas like faces or logos.
Part of the Instruct Edit functionality, this new Markup feature lets artists draw directly on an image to visually communicate their intentions to the AI model. This can involve selecting areas for recoloring, sketching arrows for repositioning, or brushing in rough shapes to suggest new elements, thereby reducing the ambiguity of text-only prompts.
This update extends Photoshop's Dynamic Text capabilities, enabling text to automatically adapt and flow along any custom shape or freeform path, offering greater flexibility in design layouts.
A new dockable panel within Photoshop now provides direct access to over 900 million Adobe Stock assets, streamlining the process of finding and incorporating stock content into projects.
Now in beta, this optional dedicated interface offers a natural-language prompt bar alongside a suite of generative AI tools. These tools include Prompt to Edit, Remove Background, Generative Expand, Remove Tool, Generative Fill, Generative Upscale, and AI Markup, providing a comprehensive AI-driven editing environment.
For artists working in the Pro Editor, the Prompt to Edit feature is now integrated into the Contextual Task Bar. This allows users to transform entire images using text prompts without needing to make selections, with each result creating a non-destructive generative layer in the layer stack.
