Adobe Photoshop updates its AI capabilities with a new feature for easier image editing and three other new tools.

Why it matters

This update enhances the user experience for those who want to use AI for image editing without needing advanced technical skills.

Adobe added a new feature to Photoshop that lets you tell the computer what you want to do with an image using simple words, like 'put this person in the mountains' instead of using complicated tools.

Analysis

{"heading":"The Evolution of AI in Photoshop","subheading":"From AI Assistant to AI Assisted Editor","content":["Adobe has been steadily improving the AI capabilities in Photoshop over the past year, starting with the introduction of AI Assistant in March. This feature allowed users to interact with Photoshop using conversational commands.","In June, the company further expanded AI's role in Photoshop by integrating AI assistants into multiple applications including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, InDesign, Illustrator, and Frame.io.","The latest addition, AI Assisted Editor, is currently in the beta version of Photoshop. It offers a simpler interface for users who prefer not to use the traditional Pro Editor."]}

Key points

  • AI Assisted Editor simplifies image editing using natural language prompts
  • Light Adjustment Layer offers more lighting controls
  • Instruct Edit with Masks allows precise edits without marking areas
  • Markup tool lets users draw on images to guide AI
The Upside

This new feature could make AI editing more accessible to users who are not familiar with advanced editing techniques.
