Adobe, Photoshop has significantly expanded its artificial intelligence-supported image editing tools with the innovations announced today. The company is in beta AI Assisted Editor It brings together natural language commands, Generative Fill and various editing tools in a separate workspace. Besides that Firefly Image 5New editing options that work with AI Markup and masks give Photoshop more granular control. Adobe also maintains the Pro Editor option for those who prefer the classic Photoshop way of working.
AI Assisted Editor focuses on making changes to the entire image or specific parts of it by writing commands within Photoshop. Here Productive FillingIt is possible to directly access tools such as Productive Expansion, Removal Tool, Productive Upgrade and background removal. In addition, Prompt to Edit interprets the instructions given in natural language and performs some of the complex manual operations via the command. Each Prompt to Edit result is added to a separate generative layer, so it’s possible to continue editing layers and returning to previous steps. Adobe, AI Assisted Editor beta presents it with the label.
Productive Filling On the other hand, model selection covers a wider area than previous Photoshop versions. Adobe’s current documentation includes Firefly Image 5, Firefly Fill & Expand and Firefly Image 1 options. In addition, Photoshop also supports partner models such as Google Gemini 3.1, Gemini 3, Gemini 2.5 and FLUX.2 pro and FLUX.1 Kontext (pro). It is possible to add a new object, change existing content or remove the selected item by selecting an area and entering a text command. When the command field is left empty, Photoshop analyzes the surrounding pixels and creates appropriate content for the selected region.
Adobe, Productive Expansion continues to develop its vehicle with innovations in Firefly models. After expanding the canvas boundaries, the tool fills in the empty spaces created according to the current content of the image. For example, when enlarging the edges of a narrow-frame photo, Photoshop produces new pixels by taking into account colors, light and surrounding objects. Additionally, Adobe made the Firefly Fill & Expand model generally available for Productive Fill and Productive Expansion in January. The company added Firefly Image 5 support and more partner models to Photoshop in the April 2026 update.
Firefly Image 5 expands editing options within Photoshop
Firefly Image 5 plays an important role in the new Photoshop tools, especially in mask editing. Instruct Edit with Masksapplies the given command, taking into account not only the marked area but also the general content of the photo. This makes it possible to describe changes in natural language, such as opening closed eyes or adding a hat to a specific person’s head. However, faces, logos and other elements other than the mask are protected during the same process. Adobe states that this tool is powered by the Firefly Image 5 model.
New AI Markup The tool combines text commands with marks superimposed on the image. To change an area to a different color, it is possible to mark the area, indicate the target position of the object with an arrow, or draw a rough shape. The written command is then transferred to the artificial intelligence model, along with the drawn signs, and Photoshop prepares a new result accordingly. Additionally, Adobe uses reversible editing for changes created with AI Markup. AI Markup in Adobe’s Firefly documentation; It is a tool that can use text, brush and region selections together in image editing.
Adobe is out of artificial intelligence tools Light Adjustment Layer It also added a new adjustment layer called . This option allows you to make changes to exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks via the layer. Thus, it is possible to access some of the basic light controls in Camera Raw through Photoshop layers. Dynamic Text, on the other hand, now automatically adapts text along custom shapes and paths. The new Adobe Stock panel in Photoshop is More than 900 million Adobe Stock content It allows searching and previewing directly within the application.
Current documentation notes that most standard Generative Fill operations working with Adobe Firefly models in Photoshop consume one rendering credit per production. Business partner models can use different loan amounts depending on the selected model and feature. In addition, Adobe also offers options for productive AI processes in Photoshop to run in the cloud or on-device with supported processes.
AI Assisted Editor While still in beta, Generative Fill and Generative Stretch are among Photoshop’s existing generative AI tools. Adobe also offers the Prompt to Edit option within the Pro Editor via the Contextual Taskbar. Thus, it is possible to initiate changes to the entire image with a natural language command without going to the separate AI Assisted Editor interface. Firefly Image 5, Gemini and FLUX options can also be selected in the model selector depending on the intended use.
