Among the usual AI improvements for Creative Cloud apps, Adobe has introduced a new Photoshop AI Assistant to help automate repetitive tasks and provide personalized recommendations. in Adobe Max 2025The company also introduced new tools for Photoshop, Premiere, and Lightroom, while launching a new version Generative model of artificial intelligence And bringing new models to third parties from Topaz and others.
The main new feature in Photoshop and Express (Adobe’s all-in-one design, photo and video tool) is an AI assistant that lets you chat in a conversational way for “more control, power and potential time savings,” according to Adobe. With this, you can ask it to handle a series of creative tasks such as color correction when resizing. You can easily switch between prompts using the agent and manual tools such as sliders to adjust brightness and contrast. It can also make personalized recommendations and provide tutorials on how to accomplish complex tasks.
In a brief demo, Adobe showed that when you switch to Photoshop’s “agent” mode in those apps, it reduces the usual complex interface and leaves you with a simple, prompt-based UI. You can then type in the task you want done, and the agent will perform those steps automatically. You can then go back to the full interface to adjust the result by changing things like brightness or levels.
Besides AI Assistant, Adobe has introduced some other AI tools for Photoshop. The most important of these are the new obstetric filling partner models that allow you to easily remove unwanted objects and fill the hole left behind. These include Google Gemini 2.5 f!ash, Black Forest Labs FLUX.1 Kontext, and Adobe’s latest Firefly Image Models. It also introduced Firefly Image Model 5, Adobe’s most advanced image creation model to date.
Photoshop is also gaining a new Genetic Upscale option that uses artificial intelligence from Topaz Lab to upscale small, cropped, and other low-resolution images to 4K with “realistic details,” Adobe says. Another feature, Harmonize, allows you to place objects or people in different environments in a realistic way, reducing a lot of the work needed for such compositing. Harmonize also matches the light, color, and tone of foreground objects and people to the background.

The app also gains a new rectangle, ellipse, and pen mask in Premiere for targeted adjustments, as well as a fast vector mask for faster tracking.
Finally, LIghtroom is getting a new feature called Assisted Culling. It lets you quickly and easily identify the best images in a large photo collection, with the ability to filter things like focus level, angles, and sharpness degrees.

Premiere’s AI Object Mask, Rectangle and Ellipse Mask, Pen Mask and Quick Vector Mask, as well as Lightroom’s AI Assisted Culling, launch in beta today.
