Two other Gen AI changes for Photoshop users are upgrades to the new Generation Upscaling Tool and its Generation Removal feature. Upscaling is a common generation AI process that improves existing images. In this case, the Photoshop tool promises to increase image resolution up to 8 megapixels. More pixels means that the image must be sharper and clearer. The updated deletion tool should be available to select the objects you want to erase. The affected area should be blended seamlessly for a cleaner final edit.
