Adobe Unveils Powerful New Photoshop innovations for creators and creative pros

Adobe is introducing a host of new innovations across Photoshop on desktop, web, and mobile that streamline these time-consuming processes, reduce creative friction, and give users more control than ever. These updates reflect ongoing feedback from the creative community and aim to make precision editing faster, more intuitive, and accessible-so creators can focus more on realizing their vision and less on manual clean-up.

Whether you’re a designer working on campaign visuals, a photographer enhancing detail, or a content creator editing on the move, Photoshop’s latest features are designed to empower creativity wherever inspiration strikes.

Here’s what’s new in Photoshop:

Harmonize (Beta): Realistic Blending Made Effortless

Originally introduced as Project Perfect Blend at Adobe MAX 2024, the new Harmonize feature—now available in beta on Photoshop desktop and web, and in Early Access on iOS—enables creators to blend elements into a composition with incredible realism. Powered by Adobe Firefly Image Model, Harmonize automatically matches lighting, tone, color, and shadows to deliver cohesive, natural-looking composites in just a few clicks.

Perfect for surreal designs, whimsical artworks, or high-impact marketing visuals, Harmonize significantly reduces the need for manual adjustments and lets users create stunning imagery faster and with greater ease.

Generative Upscale (Beta): Enhance Image Quality Without Sacrificing Clarity

Photoshop now offers Generative Upscale in beta on desktop and web, allowing users to enhance image resolution up to 8 megapixels with remarkable sharpness and detail. Whether you’re a photographer prepping files for print, a creative revisiting old assets, or a social media manager optimizing visuals for different platforms, Generative Upscale delivers crisp, high-quality results with minimal effort. One of the most requested features by the Photoshop community, it’s a game-changer for creators working across formats.

Improved Remove Tool: Cleaner Edits with AI-Powered Precision

The Remove tool, now upgraded with the latest Adobe Firefly Image Model, brings higher precision and quality to object removal on both desktop and web. From erasing unwanted power lines to tidying up product shots or portrait backdrops, this tool not only removes elements but smartly fills the gaps with AI-generated content that blends seamlessly into the background. The result? Fewer visual artifacts and more polished, professional-looking images—ready to publish or present.

Projects (Beta): Streamlined Organization and Collaboration

A new Projects feature, now in beta on Photoshop desktop, helps creatives organize and collaborate more efficiently. Instead of juggling scattered files or sharing assets piecemeal, users can now group related content into one shared workspace. Whether you’re working on a brand campaign, a design mock-up, or a mood board, Projects helps keep everything organized, accessible, and version-controlled—making teamwork and iteration easier than ever.

Gen AI Model Picker: More Flexibility in Generative Fill and Expand

Photoshop now includes the Gen AI Model Picker, giving users the ability to select between different Firefly Image Models (Firefly Image 1 and Firefly Image 3) when using Generative Fill and Generative Expand tools. Each model brings distinct stylistic qualities and strengths, allowing creators to better match output to their artistic intent. Whether you’re an illustrator, visual artist, or social content creator, the Model Picker provides more flexibility and creative control over generative workflows.

With these latest innovations, Adobe continues its commitment to enhancing Photoshop as a tool that adapts to modern creative demands—removing bottlenecks, supporting multi-device workflows, and unlocking new creative possibilities.
