How to edit photos with AI in Photoshop.
Use the latest generative AI features to create incredible images in fewer steps than ever.
- Open or download Photoshop.
If you already have Photoshop, open the app. Make sure it’s updated to the latest version, so you get all the latest generative AI features. If you don’t have a Creative Cloud plan that includes Photoshop, start a trial and download the full version of Photoshop to try free for seven days. - Import an image.
Go to File > Open to locate and select the file you want to import, or choose New file from the Photoshop Home screen to open a new workspace and then click Import image in the Contextual Task Bar. - Add and remove content.
Use Text to Image to zip through ideas and create new assets from a descriptive prompt. Select Generate Image from the Contextual Task Bar, toolbar, or go to Edit > Generate Image. Type a detailed description into the prompt field and select a content type. Use the Reference Image setting to upload a sample image and get results closer to the style you’re looking for. You can also set style effects to customize results even more.
To add or remove content within an image, use any selection tool to select any part of your image, and then click on Generative Fill in the Contextual Task Bar and type in a prompt to replace it with new content. Or leave the field blank to remove content.
Use Distraction Removal, part of the Remove Tool, to delete wires, cables and people who aren’t the primary subject. Click on the Remove tool in the toolbar, and then select either the Wires and cables or People option from the Find distractions dropdown menu. It will automatically detect and remove the objects. - Create a new background.
Swap your subject’s scenery for a whole new background by selecting the subject, and then reversing the selection in the Contextual Task Bar. Type in a prompt of what you want to replace the old background with and click Generate to see options.
You can also use Generate Background in the Photoshop (beta) app to place your subject in a new setting. Select Generate Background in the Contextual Task Bar and type in a description (or leave it blank) and click Generate to see options for new backgrounds that match the lighting, shadows, and perspective of the subject. - Extend an image.
Use Generative Expand to enlarge your image and add new content. Select the Crop tool from the toolbar and click and drag the corner or edge handles to resize your image, and then click Generate in the Contextual Task Bar to fill the blank space with new content that blends in with the existing image. Or enter a prompt before clicking Generate to tailor your results. - Download and share.
Once you’re happy with your image, go to File > Export > Export As and choose a file type and image size. You can also add optional information such as metadata. Once you’ve set your preferences, click Export, select where you’d like to save your image, and click Save. Your image is now ready to share on social and beyond. Need to reformat your image to fit different needs? Use Generative Expand to quickly adjust the size and fill in complementary content where you need it.
