Adobe released Photoshop 27.7 with an on‑device AI model for the Remove tool, letting users cut out objects without cloud help. The feature installs only on Macs that pass a hard‑coded check, ensuring privacy and local speed.

The model requires an Apple silicon Mac with an M1 Pro or later, 24 GB RAM, and macOS 26.4+. Devices below these limits see the option greyed out, forcing users to rely on the cloud version of the tool.

Beyond removal, the update ships Firefly Boards integration, expanded premium generative AI access, and a Unified Account Menu in Edit. These additions tighten workflow cohesion but underline that powerful local AI stays bound to the newest, most capable Macs.
