Summary
Adobe’s latest Photoshop update adds an optional AI Assisted Editor in beta that gathers the app’s AI tools into a single simplified toolbar.
The new view centralizes prompt-based editing, background removal and AI image extension, while a markup tool lets users draw on images to show the AI what to change without typing prompts.
Adobe also updated Instruct Edit with Masks, saying its Firefly Image 5 model now reads an image’s full context so users no longer need to manually mark every area for edits like opening eyes or adding a hat.
The release pushes Photoshop further toward AI-guided workflows as Adobe tries to make advanced editing features easier to access inside its flagship creative app.
