Adobe Adds Powerful New AI Tools to Photoshop for Easier Photo Editing

As of July 29, Adobe has introduced new generative AI features to Photoshop that make photo editing faster and easier for everyone. These updates help users add or remove people and objects from photos, improve image quality, and blend new elements more realistically—all with just a few clicks.

One of the key features is AI-powered image upscaling, now available in beta for both the web and desktop versions of Photoshop. This tool can enhance image resolution up to eight megapixels without losing clarity, making it ideal for fixing old photos or preparing images for different uses.

Adobe also updated its object removal tool to work more accurately. Now, when you remove something from a photo, the AI fills the space with realistic content—or nothing at all if that’s what you prefer. Before, it sometimes replaced objects even when you didn’t want it to.

Another standout feature is “Harmonize,” which helps new objects added to an image blend in naturally by adjusting their colors, shadows, and lighting to match the rest of the photo. This tool builds on Adobe’s earlier AI experiments and is now in beta for web and desktop users, as well as in early access on the Photoshop app for iOS.

While these features open exciting new possibilities for photo editing, they also raise concerns. Photoshop already uses AI to add things to photos based on text prompts, and while Adobe has safety features in place to prevent harmful content, the tools can still be misused. That’s why Adobe includes digital "Content Credentials" to show how an image has been edited—helping to maintain transparency and trust.

According to Photoshop product manager Joel Baer, users must follow Adobe’s rules, which ban harmful or illegal content. Adobe is focused on keeping its tools safe and trustworthy for everyone.
