The company believes Photoshop\u2019s latest update builds upon this vision and gives photographers more flexibility and choice in how they create. <\/p>\n<p>These latest Photoshop innovations promise more efficiency and precision in how they edit images inside of Photoshop. Photoshop is getting a Light Adjustment Layer, a Firefly-powered masking and editing tools, and markup tools. The longtime image editing app is also getting a full-fledged AI Assisted Editor, albeit just in beta at first. <\/p>\n<p>The new Light Adjustment Layer promises professional-grade lighting controls, including over Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks. This non-destructive adjustment layer takes some of Adobe Camera Raw\u2019s most powerful photo editing tools and puts them directly inside Photoshop. The more that photographers can do directly inside Photoshop, the better. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/instruct-edit-masks-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"A split-screen comparison shows a woman sitting in front of a pink wall on the left, and the same woman sitting inside an ornate gold frame in a field of yellow flowers on the right.\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-870076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/instruct-edit-masks-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/instruct-edit-masks-320x160.jpg 320w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/instruct-edit-masks-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/instruct-edit-masks.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Powered by Firefly Image 5, the new Instruct Edit with Masks function promises to understand the entire context of a photograph. Users essentially describe what they want to change in the image, such as opening a person\u2019s closed eyes or changing a model\u2019s clothing, and Instruct Edit with Masks will automatically mask and change the relevant area, leaving the rest of the photo untouched. <\/p>\n<p>Many photographers who work with clients or editors use Photoshop. Dedicated AI Markup tools are now available in Photoshop, letting photographers (or clients) communicate desired edits directly on the photo. Users can select areas to recolor, sketch arrows to indicate where to make changes, or draw rough sketches to suggest more significant changes to an image. Firefly then does its best to show what the markup refers to. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/markup-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A split-screen comparison shows a woman walking past a wall, with a red-sketched cat and grid on the left and a generated cat and tiled wall on the right.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-870074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/markup-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/markup-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/markup-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/markup.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Although not quite as exciting for photographers as the new Light Adjustment Layer, Photoshop\u2019s Dynamic Text can now work alongside any custom shape or path. There\u2019s also improved Adobe Stock Panel Integration that brings more than 900 million Adobe Stock assets into Photoshop on a dockable panel, so users no longer need to leave Photoshop to discover, preview, or use Adobe Stock assets in their work. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dynamic-text-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A ballerina leaps through purple smoke with the text &quot;GRENADA BALLET SPRING GALA&quot; arched above her, accompanied by a &quot;Dynamic fit&quot; interface button.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-870073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dynamic-text-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dynamic-text-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dynamic-text-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dynamic-text.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Arriving in Photoshop today as a beta, the new AI Assisted Editor introduces a dedicated interface with a natural language bar that lets people make edits through simple prompts.
