Adobe adds new AI-powered image editing capabilities to Photoshop

Adobe offers more AI-powered image editing and extensions to Photoshop using the Firefly model. The company said today it is deploying image upscaling capabilities, object blending and upgraded object removers in Photoshop.

The company said the generative upscale feature enhances images up to 8 megapixels. This will help you restore old photo details, upscaling printed images, and adopt assets on various platforms.

In 2024, Adobe teased a feature called Project Perfect Blendworking on modifying the colour, shadow and lighting of newly added objects. The idea is to have new objects like sofa chairs in the room that blend in with the environment.

Currently, Adobe unfolds this feature under Harmonize Moniker, places objects in the scene, removes their background, and uses Firefly models in Photoshop to adjust color, lighting, shadows and visual tones to fit them into the scene.

The company is also deploying improved object removal tools. Previously, when deleting an object using a generated fill, the tool would sometimes bring unnecessary artifacts to the image, in order to consider the entire scene and fill in gaps in deleted objects. The company reworked its algorithm to focus on removing objects and filling gaps in the background.

In a demo seen by TechCrunch, when Joel Baer, Adobe’s Director of Product Management at Photoshop, tried to remove the Pico de Gallo’s small bowl from a photo with object deletion from an earlier version, the tool added a green blob. The new version successfully deleted the object and replaced it with a background.

Adobe has added some small features to Photoshop. This includes better ways to place assets in shared and organized spaces. Additionally, the company can select the version of the Firefly model to select while using AI features.

“We spoke with photographers, designers and content creators to understand the problems and slower workflows. These new features help save time, remove friction from workflows, and take on some of the time-consuming tasks.”

Generic luxury, harmony, and improved object removal features are available in the beta version of Photoshop on your desktop. web Version. Harmonize function is also available New Photoshop iOS App Through the Early Access Program.
