Abstract:
Adobe is launching an artificial intelligence-focused update for Photoshop, introducing an optional "AI Assisted Editor" interface for the first time. This feature is currently open in beta form and aims to integrate multiple existing generative AI tools in Photoshop into a more simplified toolbar to lower the threshold for users to call related functions.
In the new AI-assisted editor, users can directly use text prompt-based image editing, background removal, AI extended canvas and other functions. Adobe hopes that this will allow users to more intuitively complete AI-driven image modification operations without having to find tools one by one in a complex traditional workspace.
This update also adds a new feature called "Markup". Users can paint directly on the image to express to Photoshop's AI assistant what they wish to modify. For example, users can circle areas that need to be recolored, draw arrows to specify where elements should move or appear, or use rough strokes to outline new objects they wish to add without having to rely entirely on text prompts.
Adobe also upgraded the "Instruct Edit with Masks" function. This feature originally allowed users to modify layer masks with the help of natural language prompts; after accessing the Firefly Image 5 model, the system can understand the context of the entire image, so users no longer need to manually mark each area to be edited.
According to Adobe, users can now directly describe the modifications required, such as opening a character's closed eyes, or adding a hat to its head, and AI will complete the corresponding processing based on the content of the screen. This adjustment shows that Adobe is continuing to integrate conversational and generative AI into Photoshop's core editing process to simplify operations such as selections, masks, and local adjustments in image processing.
