Adobe has announced the beta release of its AI assistant for Photoshop on the web and in mobile applications, expanding its AI capabilities beyond the desktop environment.
The AI assistant allows users to perform various tasks using natural language prompts, such as removing objects, changing colors, and adjusting lighting. Additionally, it can execute commands like adding soft glow, cropping images, and enhancing shadows. The company has also introduced an AI markup feature in public beta, enabling users to draw markers for the AI to transform objects. Paid Photoshop users will receive unlimited AI generations through April 9, while free users will be limited to 20 generations.
Simultaneously, Adobe is enhancing its Firefly media-creation application with new tools. Firefly is gaining Generative Fill for replacing or adding objects, along with generative remove, generative expand, and generative upscale features. The update also includes a one-click tool to remove backgrounds from images. As stated by the company in February, Firefly subscribers are allowed unlimited generations to encourage usage.
Adobe has been actively expanding its AI capabilities, having added more than 25 third-party models to its platform. Some of the models integrated include Google’s Nano Banana 2, OpenAI’s Image Generation, Runway’s Gen-4.5, and Black Forest Labs’ Flux.2 Pro. The AI assistant for Photoshop was first announced during Adobe’s MAX event in October, marking a significant step in the company’s AI-driven innovation.
