Tap into the power of AI photo editing.

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. To try the newest generative AI features, make sure to download the beta app.

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 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.

Try Text to Image in the Photoshop (beta) app to create an entirely new scene from scratch.

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.

Plus, experiment with the new Generate Background in the Photoshop (beta) app. Click on Generate Background in the Contextual Task Bar and choose the Generate, Color Fill, or Import Image option. Use Generate to create a background from a prompt, Color Fill to replace the background with a new hue, and Import Image to swap the current background for an image of your choosing.

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.

Fine-tune your results.

You can further customize images by adjusting your prompt and generating new variations.

Get even more control over your image generations with new generative AI features like Reference Image, Generate Similar, and Enhance Detail, available in the Photoshop (beta) app.

To use Reference Image, select any part of your image, click on Generative Fill in the Contextual Task bar, and then click on the Reference Image icon to upload a file that resembles what you want to generate, like a jean jacket. Use the file alone or combine it with a prompt.

Get more variations on the generated images you like best with Generate Similar. Simply click on the thumbnail of your favorite version — or click the three-dot menu on your chosen variation in the Properties panel — and then click Generate Similar in the Contextual Task Bar to see more examples in the same content and style.

Once you’ve created an image you love, you can click Enhance Detail in the Contextual Task Bar bring out greater sharpness and detail.

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.
