New Adobe Photoshop Updates

Adobe just rolled out some new Photoshop updates, with one of the biggest being a new AI-powered feature called Generative Upscale. The tool (Built on Adobe’s Firefly generative model) lets users upscale images with better sharpness, clarity, and detail. It supports scaling options of 2x, 3x, and 4x, up to a maximum output resolution of 8 megapixels.

The new tool is available in beta for both desktop and web versions of Photoshop. To use it, you just go to the Image menu and select “Generative Upscale.” You can choose your scale factor, and Photoshop creates a new high-res version in a separate document. If your output exceeds 4,096 pixels in either dimension, the app will prompt you to adjust the size. Alongside increasing resolution, the tool also analyses pixel data to boost sharpness and clarity, which is especially handy for prepping images for print.

Adobe also dropped a few other updates. The regular release of Photoshop now includes a much-improved Remove tool, again powered by the latest Firefly Image Model. It’s designed to more cleanly eliminate unwanted objects, while blending in the background with fewer artifacts. Another beta feature, Harmonize, helps composite objects more naturally into existing scenes by automatically adjusting lighting, shadows, and colours. For Creative Cloud subscribers, all the new features are available now in the beta channels.
