Adobe has released Generative Upscale in Photoshop, which works with the company’s Firefly AI model. This new feature is able to take the resolution of the image up to eight megapixels, as well as maintaining and adding details. Regardless of whether the user is upscaling the old scanned photographs or low-resolution graphics, Generative Upscale will sharpen the edges, textures, and recover the nuances such as flyaway hairs, without any artifacts being introduced. This tool can be used in Photoshop (desktop and web). In order to use it, one clicks the Image option in the upper ribbon and saves Generative Upscale.
Harmonize Blends New Objects Seamlessly
Adobe’s Harmonize feature, formerly known as Project Perfect Blend, adjusts color, lighting, and shadows so newly added objects match their surroundings. Users can place a chair, plant, or any asset into a scene and remove its background. Harmonize then analyzes the environment’s tones and applies those same visual characteristics to the inserted element. This creates natural composites on desktop and web, with early iOS access in Photoshop’s public beta.
Smarter Object Removal with Focused Generative Fill
Photoshop’s updated object‑removal tool now isolates the chosen subject before filling its space. Earlier versions of generative fill sometimes sampled the entire scene and produced mismatched textures. The new algorithm targets only the area around the removed object, blending the background in with consistent color and pattern. In demonstrations, Photoshop flawlessly erased small items and restored the underlying surface without leaving green blobs or repetitive patterns.
New Asset Management and Firefly Model Selection
Adobe has streamlined how teams organize shared libraries. Assets now live in a dedicated panel where users can instantly drag items into projects. Additionally, creatives can choose which Firefly model powers their AI edits, toggling between multiple image‑generation engines for speed or quality. This flexibility helps match tool behavior to project needs without leaving Photoshop’s interface.
Who Will Benefit from These AI Enhancements?
Designers, professional and non-professional photographers, and even social media artists will save on editing time. Repairing and rejuvenating old photographs, making composites that look real, and decluttering of visual elements no longer need to be complicated with elaborate masking or layers of adjustment controls. Users are left to make creative choices, and AI-powered tools are doing all the heavy lifting by making a lot of pixel-level corrections.
Adobe’s Generative Upscale, Harmonize, and improved object removal are now rolling out in public beta for Photoshop on desktop and in browsers. The Harmonize feature is also available in early access on the new Photoshop iOS app. Users can opt into the beta through Creative Cloud’s update manager and explore these features today.
