Adobe announced Tuesday that its AI assistant for Photoshop will be available in beta for users on the web and in its mobile apps. The company is also adding new AI-powered image editing capabilities to Firefly, its media generation and editing tool.
The creative tools company first announced an AI assistant for Photoshop at its MAX event in October. The feature, now rolling out to users, can help them remove objects or people from images, change colors or adjust lighting via prompts. Users can also use natural language to instruct the AI assistant to add a soft glow, crop to a specific size, enhance shadows, or transform the background to give your image a different look.
Adobe said that paid users of Photoshop can create an unlimited number of generations with the AI Assistant through April 9, and that free users will get 20 generations to start.
Additionally, the company is adding a new feature called AI markup in the public beta, which will allow people to draw marks on the screen and use the AI assistant to transform those objects. For example, you can draw a flower or highlight an object that you want to delete to change the background.
Additionally, Adobe is adding new image editing tools to its Firefly media creation tool. Firefly gets Genative Fill, which has been in Photoshop for a few years, for replacing or adding objects and adjusting the background accordingly.
Firefly also gets a generative deletion feature for removing objects, generative expansion for increasing image size using AI, and generative upscaling features. Additionally, the company is adding a one-click tool to remove the background from images.
The company said in February that it did allowing unlimited generations for Firefly subscribers to encourage more usage. Over time, it has also added more than 25 third-party video and image generation models, including Google’s Nano Banana 2, OpenAI’s Image Generation, Runway’s Gen-4.5, and Black Forest Labs’ Flux.2 Pro.
