Photoshop gets an AI assistant: edit photos by typing
Adobe launched Photoshop's AI assistant in beta on web and mobile, along with new tools in Firefly.


What does it do?
Photoshop's AI assistant lets you edit images with text prompts:
- Remove objects or people.
- Change colors.
- Adjust lighting.
It is available on web and mobile.
AI Markup
Another feature, in public beta: draw markers on part of an image and the assistant transforms those areas.
How much is free?
- Paid Photoshop subscribers: unlimited generations until April 9.
- Free users: 20 generations to start.
Firefly
Adobe added new Firefly tools: Generative Fill, Generative Remove, Generative Expand, Generative Upscale and one-click background removal. Firefly now includes more than 25 third-party models, such as Google's Nano Banana 2 and Black Forest Labs' Flux.2 Pro.
*These features are still in beta; wider availability is expected soon.
