Make smarter edits with {{photoshop}} Neural Filters.
Explore the power of AI and machine learning in {{adobe-photoshop}}. Colorize black-and-white photos, properly capture skin tones, and perform style transfers in a few clicks.
What are Neural Filters?
Located under the Filters tab in {{adobe-photoshop}}, Neural Filters are a fun and easy way to create compelling adjustments and speed up your image editing workflows. Powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning engine {{adobe-sensei}}, Neural Filters use algorithms to generate new pixels in your photos. This allows you to add nondestructive edits and explore new creative ideas quickly, all while keeping the original image intact.
“Machine learning can help you do a lot of things that would have taken many steps in the past,” says photo editor Jesús Ramirez. “In some cases, with just one click. In other cases, it gets you 80% of the way there.”
The different types of {{photoshop}} Neural Filters.
Smooth it over with Skin Smoothing.
Excavate unwanted items with JPEG Artifacts Removal.
Switch it up with Style Transfer.
Super Zoom
Colorize
Take beta Neural Filters to the max.
Smart Portraits
Makeup Transfer
Apply the same makeup settings to various faces with this useful tool. Add new makeup to a photo or completely change your model’s current makeup in post-production to get exactly the right look for your shot.
Depth Blur
Landscape Mixer
Color Transfer
Harmonization
Match the look of one {{photoshop}} layer to another for natural-looking photo compositing. The Harmonization filter looks at your reference image and applies its color and tone to any layer. Adjust the sliders, add a mask, and enjoy the color harmony.
As new features of {{photoshop}}, beta and new Neural Filters will continually be updated to help you produce stronger, more intuitive work.
Filter it out with {{photoshop}}.
No matter what Neural Filter you choose, Adobe makes it simple to try it on for size.
- Upload or drag and drop an image into {{photoshop}}.
- Click Filters › Neural Filters.
- Choose from the list of Neural Filters on the right-hand side.
- Depending on the filter you pick, adjust its settings to your liking.
- Select a method of output — either Duplicate Layer, Duplicate Layer Masked, New Layer, or Smart Filter — then click OK.
- Note that Smart Filter is a great output method because you can easily go back in and make changes to your neural filters.
Make the most out of Neural Filters in {{photoshop}}.
If your filters are meant for your subject’s face, implement a layer mask manually for smoother blending between layers. “Sometimes the filter just overlays pixels, and they don’t look as good on top of the original image,” Ramirez explains. “You can definitely do it by hand in some instances and you probably get better results.”
Before you make any changes, see what they would look like on your image with the Preview button. Or if you don’t like the direction your photos take with filters on, click Reset and start over again.
{{photoshop}} has all the smart tools you need to make what’s in your mind’s eye possible.
