Adobe unveiled Photoshop 2027 at Adobe Max, and the headline additions are two new AI-driven adjustments: Relight and Generative Restyle. Both are layer-based, so you can return to them after making other edits.

This comes alongside a host of Firefly-based AI updates, which effectively turn it into a full creative studio. You can read more about that here.

  • Relight adds a virtual light to your image that you drag into position. The Properties panel lets you tweak its colour, intensity and size, and you can add up to three lights to a scene.

  • Generative Restyle regenerates an image in a different style, with a slider in the Properties panel to control how far the effect goes.

  • The Remove tool also gets an upgrade. It’s now better at taking out an object’s shadows and reflections, so you no longer need to select them as well.

Creative Agent and a new AI workspace

Adobe is rolling out Creative Agent, an AI agent, across several Creative Cloud apps, Photoshop included. It’s pitched at handling busywork, and can also answer how-to questions, like where a tool lives or how to complete an edit. Photoshop’s AI Assistant also gets a new AI-first workspace built around natural language prompts, with a simpler interface. You can leave it at any time to get back to the full toolset.
