Adobe today announced a beta for AI Assisted Editor, a new optional editing mode within Photoshop with a simplified, prompt-based interface for image editing. AI Assisted Editor can be accessed from a new toggle on Photoshop's menu bar, which users can also choose to hide at any time from Settings. Once in AI Assisted Mode, users see a simplified interface with tools including Prompt to Edit, Remove Background, Generative Expand, Remove Tool, Generative Fill, and Generative Upscale.

A new Markup tool allows users to roughly draw or click on any region of the image and add natural-language instructions such as 'Add more clouds' or 'change this shoe,' with Adobe Firefly making the adjustments. Adobe also added support for prompt-based masked edits to address criticism of current prompt-based editors. A new non-destructive layer tool for light adjustments including Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks was also introduced.

Additionally, Dynamic Text, Shapes and Paths extends Photoshop's Dynamic Text to any custom shape or path. Stock Panel Integration puts more than 900 million Adobe Stock assets right inside Photoshop in a dockable panel. AI Assisted Editor is available in beta today, while other tools will be generally available starting today.
