Uplevel Your Creative Output With Adobe Photoshop’s New AI Tools

Adobe Photoshop’s recent update released on April 23 gives designers, photographers, and content creators plenty of advanced AI capabilities to get excited about. While the image-editing software is already an industry benchmark and PCMag Editors’ Choice winner, the latest version—powered by the newest Adobe Firefly Image 3 Model—allows users to go beyond the basic Generative Fill feature. Users can now fine-tune and better control their AI-generated graphics, art, and images directly from within the Photoshop app.

Harness the power of generative AI to take your image editing to the next level.

Here’s what every creative needs to know about the new generative AI capabilities baked into this recent upgrade.

Use Text to Image for Fast AI-Generated Art

No more having to scour the internet for hard-to-find stock images. Photoshop’s new Firefly-powered Text to Image feature, utilized by selecting Generate Image in the Contextual Task Bar, lets you generate entire images from scratch, simply by entering detailed text prompts. You can also combine multiple generated images on a canvas and create mood boards to share inspiration with your team.

Manifest Your Vision With the Reference Image Capability

When the image you’re envisioning is difficult to describe in words, rendering the Text to Image prompt futile, the new Reference Image capability is a win. Upload an image that contains your desired colors, mood, or content (maybe a fiery sunset, for example), and Reference Image will use the uploaded image to inform your generated image output and produce customized content that explores your vision.

Generate Backgrounds That Sync With Your Images

Having to manually select the background and try to match the aesthetics of your original image using Generative Fill is over. Photoshop’s new Generate Background feature allows you to replace the background with AI-generated content that already matches the lighting, shadows, and perspective of your original art. This once time-consuming task now takes only a few clicks and can speed up your creative process. 

Adobe Photoshop’s Generate Similar improvement allows you to use a generated image variation as your original reference image in order to produce additional image variations with similar content and styles. Unpacked, this capability can further enhance the accuracy of your AI-generated outputs, giving you more unique options to work with. 

Sharpen Your Images With Enhance Detail

Designers and photographers will be especially interested in Photoshop’s Enhance Detail capability. Utilizing AI, the tool allows you to upgrade the sharpness and clarity of your generated images to a quality level that you’re happy with. Enhancing your generated images will also help them blend more seamlessly with your original images, so you can feel confident about your finished work.

Photoshop’s latest generative AI updates goes beyond Generative Fill, enabling you to transform, edit, and generate high-quality photos, graphics, and art better than before. Sign up for your seven-day free trial and see how easy it is to bring your creative vision to life.
