Adobe is rolling out a fresh batch of updates for Photoshop today. These changes aim to make your editing workflow faster and much cleaner. As you probably guessed, artificial intelligence does most of the heavy lifting in this latest version.
The company has seriously beefed up its “Generative Fill,” “Generative Expand,” and “Remove” tools. These features run on Adobe’s Firefly AI platform. Starting today, when you use them to add or change parts of a photo, the results will come out in 2K resolution. This is a big win for creators because it means fewer weird glitches and much more detail in the generated parts of an image. Adobe also claims the AI is now much better at actually following your text instructions, so you won’t have to keep hitting “generate” over and over to get what you want.
If you use the “Reference Image” option to guide your AI edits, you will notice an improvement there as well. The tool is now “geometry-aware.” In plain English, this means the AI looks at the shapes and angles of your original photo to ensure the new elements fit naturally into the perspective of the scene. It helps stop the AI from making things look like flat stickers slapped onto a 3D background.
Beyond the AI wizardry, Adobe added a few practical tools that photographers have wanted for a long time. There is a new beta feature called Dynamic Text. It makes turning a standard line of text into a curved shape much simpler than before. You won’t have to fight with complex warp tools just to make a circular logo.
Finally, Photoshop introduced three new adjustment layers: Clarity, Dehaze, and Grain. These are “non-destructive,” meaning you can add grit or clear up a foggy photo on a separate layer without ever touching or damaging your original file. Whether you are a professional designer or just someone who likes to touch up vacation photos, these updates make the app feel more powerful and significantly easier to use.
