First up, a number of essential AI tools will see general availability forPhotoshopdesktop and web users. So, look out for Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Generate Similar, Generate Background, and Generate Image powered by Firefly Image 3 Model.
The Remove tool gets a serious update, too, and now features what Adobe dubbed “distraction removal technology”. Effectively, this will let users remove unwanted elements from an image in a single click.
The company has also announced a new Generative Workspace within Photoshop. This lets designers try out new ideas (or adapt existing ones) in a sandbox, where generations run in the background without disrupting the workflow. The space also includes generation history, to quickly view previous prompts and images.
