Being able to use a reference image! Now I can get closer to what I want without dozens of attempts. GREAT!

What a great time to be alive. In my 20+ year photography career, I (we) sure have seen a lot of changes. I keep thinking of all those years doing so much tedious edits that now are done in a snap. I’m loving it. It’s only gonna get better.

Thanks for the update Colin! The Font update is awesome!

Thank you Colin it is a perfect introduction of new features again! Thank you for the good work in years! Photoshopcafe is a fine and steady channel to follow.

The biggest highlight for me is the integration of Firefly 3 into Photoshop. Based on my limited testing, the image renditions have markedly improved. It's phenomenal how far Adobe has gone with its Generative AI technology. Now, our only limitation in image editing and creation is our imagination. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Thank you, I always appreciate your clean, fast explanations.

What a huge development! Thank you so much Colin, as always very helpful, informative and straight to the point! God bless and good luck!

Thank you for the new features Colin

LOVE THEM ALL! THANKS

A very quick release about the update. Thank you!!

Great new features well explained. I like the font update and the reference image most. Thanks for this video.

Cool stuff! thanks for sharing!

Very useful info, thank you.

Thanks, great Tutorial!

Very useful - thank you :)

Thank you for your information and guidance. 👍

Colin, you are a star mate. Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial.

Thanks for sharing!!! So cool !

You are REALLY good at explaining this stuff, Colin.

Some fantastic updates, thanks for the showcase Colin PS master!

These new features are so incredible. Design time is almost cut in half......only thing about technology that I like 😃

This is great! Thanks so much

The font update! Thanks for the video!

Thank You very much!

Thank you!

wow and finally - definitely love the reference image!!!

Love the font look up ability and I'll probably use the adjustment brush because it just seems easier!

Excellent video. Thank you

Oh good I'm happy about the fonts! Thank you for the video

Photoshop Cafe one of the finest for learning Photoshop and Adobe .......

Very good Colin amazing

Love reference image!

Thanks, Colin! You rock! 😎

Font browse, for sure!

You always explain things easily and comprehensibly. Keep'em coming. Only thing I truly miss in PS is 3D!!!

Love it

Doing composite artwork for almost 3 decades (used Corel, though, until last year when I decided to switch to PS, choosing the fair-priced photography plan), and my main objective in using AI is to be able to add realistic add-ons and enhancements to my (mostly animal) works, e.g. missing paws or ears, wings on pets for rainbow bridge scenes, fairytale buildings and backgrounds for Xmas cards, etc. I played around with Generative Fill and dismissed it almost right away due to the poor quality and choices I got. Now it looks promising and I'll surely try it out. The font feature is also more than appreciated since Adobe allows commercial use (with some smaller restrictions), so you're safe.

The font and the high quality of the generative feature

Not gonna lie, best tutorials on KZfaq, hands down. Thank you Sir for all you do

"Starting to look like Snuffleupagus" got me man 😂

I find these changes invaluable and use them almost everyday. It is amazing what power to create they give us all. There is a gentleman here who was bemoaning the fact that as a landscape photographer he feels most of the updates are useless to his landscape imagery. SO WHAT? Adobe is responding to and, quite well - thank you very much - to the demands of the market place beyond what someone who shoots subjects that never move needs? Keep it up Adobe because, we who do shoot and create beyond staid, unmoving things - LOVE what you are doing.

Great video Colin thanks for showing us all these new toys! Adobe are really making great strides on PS, and now the resolution on on the Generative tool can get enhanced resolution its more useable. I dont understand why Adobe dont make this just `baked in` though, because whats the point of 1024 x 1024.? Can I ask you a question Colin? With regard to Fonts. I use LRC and PS on a desktop and laptop. If I now download new fonts, do I have to download the chosen font to both desktop and laptop separately, or as I`m signed into my Adobe account on both machines, does a download on one get picked up on the other. Or can I download new fonts on my desktop and set up Presets etc there as well, and then transfer all of these `new set ups/tools etc to my other machine, by going into a folder where these things are stored, copying that folder, then taking that folder to my other machine and pasting there? If thats the case can you tell me the folder that I`m looking for Colin and its path? Cheers Colin.

Thank you for posting... excellent as always! Can you advise how to use GF to replace a background area behind two people? Thanks.

Firefly 3 addition is nice indeed. Very helpful. I’m eagerly awaiting the text creation feature from directly within Photoshop though. The font search is useful too. Great video Colin, thank you.

Been learning on and off for a while. I love Photoshop though it’s advancing too fast 😂 Thank you for this video.

Hi Colin, my favorite is firefly in photoshop beta. Hope it will be there in one of the next updates of the regular version.

Thank you , this will be fun to try. I do really love Photoshop Beta but will move back and try regular Photoshop, so glad you do these updates! I use midjourney all the time and photoshop to finish images, but this new update is a game changer. I do wish Adobe would have a good up-scale option like the Topaz Gigapixel. I Have loved photoshop since the first CD in 2003..lol What an amazing program!

I still haven't found the big upgrade level, adding reference images is my favorite feature in this update

Hey Colin, I want to create an image using Firefly, MidJourney or the like, to showcase a product I have, which is a golf cart battery charger, and incorporate it into another image, or create another image that has a golf cart and a person observing the charger charging the golf cart, for example in a garage or on someones drive etc. What would you suggest is the best way to do this?

If I use my own image and firefly, does my image go into the firefly archive, to be used by some else in the future?

COOL Kyiv Lipki 😁😁😁😁

Thanks as always. I think professionals are the ones most complaining and I sort of understand that since time is money for them and they don’t want half baked new features. Of course it’s a choice to use such features in the Beta so I don’t get why they don’t just turn off the beta if they are worried. For my amateur I use generative fill to fix small flaws such as getting rid of distracting people or backgrounds and junk in my travel photos all the time. And I regularly use the neural features for fixing family photos. I’m very happy to access Beta features knowing that they have flaws or occasionally crash. Photoshop for me has become much more useful and usable.

Are you able to use a background generated image and remove the person from that image and use just the background.

I like being able to use a referenced image. I'm much more likely to get what I want as opposed to what the program thinks I want. And I won't lie, I'm a font junky, so that new feature is pretty sweet too.

This is just another excuse for Adobe to jack up the price of Creative Cloud regardless of whether you use the new tools. There should be two tiers. Tier 1: All of the tools that have been in Photoshop since 2004 and are the tools you use 99% of the time. Tier 2: An additional $29.99/mo. for all of the whiz bang AI garbage most of us don’t want or need.

Hello is it possible to generate an object, say the pancakes but without the background so you’re able to transform it without effecting the background

Really impressed with the new adjustment brush tool from the latest Photoshop beta update! 🌟 Does anyone know if you can save preset brushes with different blend modes, like Overlay, Screen, or Color? Also, about the new high-resolution fix for Gen AI - what’s the exact resolution pixel size we’re looking at? I’ve heard someone mention it offers significantly higher resolution just by toggling that option. Would love more clarity on this! Thanks in advance!

Could you use it to add your reference image and have it put that in a picture frame in a room you describe?

Funny to see that after some years Adobe brings back an option to use a reference photo. I remember they have that on Content-Aware Fill

As usual you always do a great job and the way you are doing it make it interesting to watch-listen... I understand that you're not here to talk about all the bugs. But sadly, Adobe Photoshop have more and more bugs and in the mean time Adobe focus on implementing new things, that a lot of us don't really need, but we do need a more stable software. But since a long time Adobe build on a fondation that have so many cracks.... and no matters the paint color you put over it, the foundation just collapse a bit more each time they had new features....

Thank you for all your great videos. Help please, I have just downloaded the latest update for PS Beta but "Generative Fill" which I use a lot now doesn't work when trying to add "Oil Painting" . which was fantastic for me... Any ides to correct this? Thank you

Good stuff Colin. Firefly 3 is a welcome update, but I thought the resolution limit had increased to 2048 X 2048. Is that not the case when used inside Photoshop? There's another new feature, and that's more control over arrowheads with the Line tool. Unless I'm going mad, I am sure that arrowheads used to scale with line size, but that stopped happening a while back. Well, we can now adjust width and length in the Properties panel, which is super nice.

Is there a detail slider for the generated image like in FF web version ? Thanks

I tried to the transparency selection to do the GF but is not working like in the past.

Great overview and thank you for your content, I am a big fan. I wish Adobe would use AI to make selecting hair better, I need one-step hair mask as current background removal is bad and it is not only struggling with hair and fur but also with any close matching colours, so where is the AI for that?! 3D tools and textures for fonts would be nice too (the ones in Firefly are soo bad) or better brush settings and more brushes for painting, not AI image creator, no artist asked for that. Adobe added reference image to AI creator but when I actually want to paint from reference photo the option is not there (Procreate has this but Photoshop doesn't). Same with time-lapse capture of my painting process.

Although lots of people doesn't like the Adjustments Brush, I think is a cool addition. Ok most people say,there is no neeed for that. Well,just don't use it

the upscale button is not available just update to the latest version…or must the original photo in good resolution>?

Using Adobe Beta is not straightforward for PC users, and switching between them is a bit of a challenge. I've chatted with Adobe tech about this, and the answer is, "Well yeah, we know, but..." Other than that, I am delighted to see Firefly 3 in Photoshop!

The beta versions seems to break the opacity trick. Are you experiencing that on your end? Regardless of how I lower transparency, the new gen fill creates a wholly new image based on the prompt.

I am sure all the graphic design professionals are now worried ! It's amazing we have come to this level of perfection in just a few years.

Do anyone know how to close class font on the left side at character it’s really annoying

The updated ai engine is a game changer for me. I have been dissappointed with the lack of photo realistic output and have been using 3rd party geberative ai. That is not a very efficient work fluw. Looking forward to trying this out

Thanks for the vid. The adjustment brush tool and the font browser are nice. Generative fill is crap and I wouldn`t use that for my photos. It looks so artificial

I was playing with, as I don't really need them, the new features in Beta. Unfortunately, Lightroom always defaults to the latest version of Photoshop, meaning the Beta, when you edit. As Beta has beena bit "flaky" in the past, I do not want it to be my default editor. I wish Lightroom would default to the latest, not Beta, version. Does anyone know how to make this happen please?

If you run out of generative credits how slow it gets exactly to use this AI tools? Has someone already made some tests and showed them in video here on KZfaq? If so I would be very grateful if you guys can link that to me

I am running Sonoma 14.4.1 and the "Generate image" palette does not appear with my my newly updates PS Beta 25.8. Adobe couldn't help

5721x3800px @300dpi may be at the upper threshold for FF sub par quality?

the image reference will change the game for many people

I have version m.2581 on Windows but the Firefly option is not there. I do have the new Fonts browser, but when I create a new document I can only click "Import" and the extra icon on the toolbar is also not there. I'm logged in to my Adobe Account but that doesn't change a thing. Anybody has any idea?

Wanted to try new beta but for some reason it is crashing at startup...still trying to troubleshoot.

I like the "Generate Similar" option. I don't use the Ps betas, but would like that feature in the commercial release. (As long as Adobe doesn't break something else that I use when adding new stuff..as is wont to happen).

If anyone doesn't see the icon on the toolbar, try changing your Workspace. That's how I managed to view it.

Neat. Is there still no simple way to change the colour or texture of an object with the generative fill? Let's say you ONLY want to change the colour of a person's skin or eyes, i.e. without changing anything else. So far, the generative tool mostly feels like a big, unwieldy sledgehammer.

My favorite new feature is that you can now eat pancakes at a bar terrace in Paris. Quite new indeed :)

I keep looking but never see, maybe will never see, the ability to use my own images, both for main image and also for generate from... Is that too far fetched to hope for?

Elephant right rear foot is missing it's shadow.

Depressingly all in the beta, would love to see things like the parametric filters actually moved to the release version. They are not going to win any fans if they keep releasing all this material in the beta, many users don't want to use the beta in the first place or just use for a little testing. Great video as ever

It can not be long before we are able to convert a raw file based on a reference image in AI. Looking forward to the day!

I’ve suddenly got all these updates which I don’t know how to use. When I go to do my usual edits in PS I get functions which don’t work the way they used to, especially when creating composites. Just where do I start to learn how to use these tool’s please

I have ver. 25.8.0 and no generate image, only import image, why?:)

When i open a new document it doesn't have the generate image option, it only says import image. I'm using Beta 25.8 mm.2581 and it's not there, nor is the icon at the bottom of the toolbar.

its not allowing me to get to the beta, is there another way to get to the app?

Mine isnt showing generate images (from scratch) or gen background. Its fully updated

When I start a new file I just have the import an image on the contextual and not the generate an image. What am I doing wrong?

but now i can't have the generative fill interact with MY IMAGE by going the quick mask, filling with a percent of gray, leaving quick, put in my prompt and watch the generative fill INTERACT with MY IMAGE. I SHURE HOPE ADOBE DOES NOT TAKE AWAY THIS FEATURE as they have with the Beta version

Thanks for your video. From what I see in your exemples, the quality of the results is very poor ! Is it the maximum it can do ?

👍🏻

I installed the Beta on my MacBook Pro last year and it broke Lightroom's ability to send files to Photoshop. Didn't matter how many times I selected the release version it simply wouldn't work. On the next update it was fixed but I am not risking that again. Was a real pain.

Whatever happened to the days if you dont like it you move on. Instead everyone rushes to the comments to tell everyone their right and everyone else is wrong. I'm a Real Estate photographer and all the addions that Photoshop have added are great. Some I don't use and others I use a lot. In the end these are all tools. Having a big selection of tools in my toolbox is always better.
