Adobe Photoshop upgrades Generative AI tools with 2K resolution and geometry-aware features

Adobe Photoshop upgrades its Firefly-powered generative-AI editing tools

Adobe Photoshop introduced some new features that are rolling out for creators today. As you'd expect from any service operator in this day and age, there's some AI involved. Adobe has improved the tools for Generative Fill, Generative Expand and Remove that are powered by its Firefly generative AI platform. Using these tools for image editing should now produce results in 2K resolution with fewer artifacts and increased detail all while delivering better matches for the provided prompts. The Reference Image option for Generative Fill has also been upgraded to deliver "geometry-aware results that better match the scene." One of the other new updates is a beta version of Dynamic Text, which should allow simpler transformation of a text layer into a curved shape. Photoshop has also added new adjustment layers: Clarity, Dehaze and Grain. These allow non-destructive image editing on layers.

Photoshop's AI tools now offer more control with reference objects

Adobe is rolling out updates to a few AI-powered Photoshop features today, including referencing objects in Generative Fill. Here's everything new. New adjustment layers Photoshop is adding three non-destructive, maskable adjustment layers today: Clarity, Dehaze, and Grain. Adobe says the new adjustment layers will help creators more precisely refine the texture, the depth, and the detail of their work: Add dimension to images with Grain, cut through atmospheric haze and balance lighting with Dehaze. and enhance subject structure and crispness with Clarity, all while masking and blending each adjustment seamlessly for total creative control over your final output. Reference objects on Generative Fill Reference Image for Generative Fill is one of the most useful tools in Adobe's AI offerings for Photoshop, as it allows users to upload an image that Photoshop considers when generating AI-powered edits. In fact, Adobe says Generative Fill is currently "a top-five feature," as it significantly speeds up tedious editing tasks that even the most experienced users would take much longer to complete manually. Now, Reference Image for Generative Fill can preserve the identity of the actual object from the reference image, meaning Photoshop can insert or adapt those objects more accurately within a scene rather than just approximate the object's look and feel. Adobe says that "reference Image with objects delivers geometry-aware results that better match the scene, reorienting to the correct scale, rotation, lighting, color, and perspective". Firefly upgrades across multiple tools Adobe is rolling out an upgraded Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Remove tools, now based on an improved Firefly model that delivers "higher-quality results with 2K resolution output, sharper detail, and fewer artifacts". The company says that these tools will now rely on the latest Firefly Fill & Expand, and Remove Tool 3 models, improving adherence to the users' prompts, reducing seams, and creating a more globally coherent light and depth effects "for more realistic, polished edits". Beta: Dynamic Text Starting today, users will get access to a beta version of Dynamic Text that makes it easier to transform text layers into circular, arched, or bowed shapes. Adobe says that users simply need to "select Dynamic Text and choose a shape, and Photoshop will automatically fit and resize your text, so you can create, move, and refine text along paths quickly," rather than relying on workarounds to try to reach the same results.

Adobe rolls out 2K resolution and "geometry-aware" AI to Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop rolled out upgraded Firefly-powered generative-AI editing tools today for creators. The enhancements improve Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Remove functions through higher-quality outputs. These tools generate results at 2K resolution, exhibiting fewer artifacts and greater detail. They also achieve superior adherence to user-provided prompts, refining the editing process for precise image manipulation. The Reference Image option within Generative Fill received specific upgrades. It now delivers "geometry‑aware results that better match the scene," ensuring generated content aligns more accurately with existing image structures. A beta version of Dynamic Text launched alongside these changes. This feature simplifies the process of transforming a text layer into a curved shape, streamlining design workflows for varied typographic effects. Photoshop incorporated three new non-destructive adjustment layers: Clarity, Dehaze, and Grain. These layers permit image edits without modifying underlying content, preserving original files during adjustments.
