Adobe is making Photoshop’s AI tools easier to find and easier to use. The company is launching a beta update with an optional AI Assisted Editor view that brings Photoshop’s growing set of AI features into one dedicated interface.
The new toolbar includes tools such as prompt-based image editing, background removal, AI-powered image extension, and more. By organizing these capabilities in one place, Adobe is reducing friction for users who want to move quickly from idea to finished visual.
Markup makes AI editing more natural
One of the most promising additions is a markup feature that lets users draw directly on an image to show Photoshop’s AI assistant what they want changed. Creators can select areas to recolor, sketch arrows to reposition objects, or brush in rough shapes to suggest new elements—without relying only on text prompts.
- More intuitive control: Users can communicate visually, not just through typed instructions.
- Faster workflows: Common edits can be guided directly on the canvas.
- Broader access: Powerful editing features become more approachable for non-experts.
For designers, photographers, marketers, and everyday creators, this update points to a future where AI acts less like a separate tool and more like a collaborative editing partner built directly into creative workflows.
