Adobe announced new features for many of its programs at the Adobe Max 2024 event, including Adobe Photoshop, which is pretty much the best-known graphics software par excellence.
The new version of Adobe Photoshop includes several innovative new features. These are designed to improve key workflows and speed up the way you can develop and build assets. The new Photoshop features are also intended to simplify and reduce core functions, such as the sometimes laborious removal of common distractions from images and the expansion of imaging workflows by enabling the intuitive placement and adjustment of 3D objects in 2D designs in Adobe Photoshop.
Improvements and new features in Adobe Photoshop
Removing the tool with removal of the deflection
The Erase tool now uses intelligent technology to remove unwanted objects after applying a brush and auto-filling the background, while maintaining integrity, depth, and intricate detail.
The function built into the Remove tool allows for automatic removal of distractions. The Deflection Removal in the Remove tool instantly detects and automatically deletes unwanted wires, cables, and people in the background who aren’t the main subject in your image. In addition, the Remove tool automatically determines which backend technology is best for achieving the most realistic result.
Adobe Firefly is now one of the backend technology options. Users can select different “modes” to select how much generative AI should be used in the removal tool – “Auto (can use generative AI), Generative AI on, Generative AI off”, which selects for a user depending on the image and scene.
The benefits of the new features in Photoshop’s Erase tool:
Seamlessly remove distractions such as power lines from images, including people who aren’t the main subject in an image, in just a few clicks.
A single tool to remove multiple unwanted subjects or objects in an image while instantly replacing the background, without manual multi-stroke actions.
The streamlined user interface allows users to work more efficiently and save time by reducing tedious edits. Automatic detection and segmentation increase a user’s editing control and accuracy. Users can choose the extent to which they want to use generative AI in the Remove tool.
Generative Filling with Image 3MD
The Generative Fill feature allows you to add or remove content in images using simple text input directly in the Photoshop app. Images are automatically generated with the appropriate shadows, reflections, lighting, and perspectives, so realistic results can be achieved in just a few simple steps. This feature is now based on the latest Adobe Firefly image model, which delivers results with significantly improved photorealistic quality, better understands complex prompts, and generates more variety in the results, allowing you to explore different directions.
The function enables photographic images, especially with animals, nature, objects and structures, with new levels of detail, lighting, composition and color.
The Adobe Photoshop feature enables high-quality, detailed results for commercial use with photorealistic quality, detail, and variety.
Generative Extension with Image 3MD in Adobe Photoshop
With the “Generative Expand” option, you can now expand the canvas and resize any image at the same time as part of the cropping workflow.
Generative Expand fills the empty space with newly generated content that blends naturally with the existing image. The new feature is designed to save time and deliver high-quality results very quickly. This feature is now supported by the latest Adobe Firefly image model, which delivers results with greatly improved photorealistic quality and more variety.
Resize an image to a larger aspect ratio, such as redesigning it for a desired look, to imagine what’s behind the camera’s lens. Or to transform it, to tell a bigger story, or when the subject is outside the frame.
Straighten and expand an image to preserve the content in the corners after straightening the image. With just a few clicks, one can expand the canvas to place a subject in a specific part of the image or create an image in different aspect ratios.
