Adobe has begun rolling out its new artificial intelligence assistant for Photoshop, now available in beta on both the web and mobile applications. The company first unveiled this tool during its MAX event in October and is now starting to integrate it into the user experience.
The assistant enables editing tasks through natural language instructions. Users can, for example, ask it to remove objects or people from an image, adjust lighting, change colors, or transform the background to achieve a specific effect. It is also possible to request more specific actions such as applying a soft glow, enhancing shadows, or cropping the image to a particular format.
Until April 9th, Photoshop subscribers will be able to generate an unlimited number of images with this tool, while free users will initially have 20 generations available.
New Editing Features: AI Markup and More in Firefly
Another notable addition is the AI markup feature, available in the public beta. This tool allows users to draw strokes directly on the image — such as a flower or an object — for the assistant to interpret and transform, either by modifying the background or removing the indicated element.
Adobe has also updated Firefly, its media creation and editing platform, with new capabilities. These include generative fill, a functionality already known in Photoshop that allows adding or replacing objects and adapting the background coherently. This is complemented by generative remove, useful for deleting unwanted elements, and generative expand, which enlarges an image’s size using artificial intelligence.
Additionally, the company has incorporated a one-click button to automatically remove backgrounds, along with improvements to large-scale generative functions.
More Models and Expanded Access
Since February, Adobe has allowed Firefly subscribers to perform unlimited generations with the aim of encouraging more intensive use of the platform. Recently, it has also expanded its offering with over 25 third-party image and video generation models, including Google’s Nano Banana 2, OpenAI’s Image Generation, Runway’s Gen-4.5, and Black Forest Labs’ Flux.2 Pro.
