What if editing an image felt more like having a conversation than learning complex tools?

The new AI-assisted editor (Beta) in Photoshop 27.10 introduces a streamlined, AI-powered editing experience designed to help users create and refine images using natural language prompts.
Whether you're new to Photoshop or looking for a faster way to make quick edits, AI Assisted Editor (Beta) simplifies the creative process without sacrificing flexibility.

 

Turn Ideas Into Edits, Instantly 

Instead of navigating multiple panels and settings, simply describe what you want to change. AI Assisted Editor (Beta) interprets your prompt and helps you achieve the result using built-in AI capabilities.

With tools like:

  • Prompt for natural language image editing

  • Markup to visually indicate areas you want to modify

  • Fill to add or replace content

  • Remove to eliminate unwanted elements

  • Crop and Expand to extend compositions beyond their original boundaries

  • Upscale to improve image resolution

  • Remove Background for quick subject isolation

 

You can spend less time figuring out how to make an edit and more time bringing your ideas to life.

 

Built for Beginners, Flexible for Everyone 

AI Assisted Editor (Beta) is designed to make Photoshop more approachable, especially for new users. A guided welcome experience helps you jump right in, and suggested starting points such as Restyle an image, Edit with markup, or Create a new canvas make it easy to get creative from day one.

At the same time, experienced Photoshop users aren't locked into a simplified workflow.

 

Switch Between AI-Assisted and Pro Editor (Beta) Anytime 

One of the most useful aspects of the AI Assisted Editor (Beta) is its seamless integration with the traditional Photoshop experience.

Need more advanced controls? Switch to Pro Editor at any time. Photoshop keeps your workflow moving by carrying your latest AI Assisted edit into Pro Editor as a new layer. This flexibility lets you start with AI-powered edits and transition into detailed, professional-level refinement whenever you need it.

 

Note: When moving from Pro Editor back to AI Assisted mode, layered documents are automatically flattened for compatibility.

    There are a couple things I really like about this new feature: 1) It brings together in one place the most useful of Photoshop’s generative AI features so they are easier to find; and 2) It is an easier way for new users to start using generative AI.

    There are also a few things (mostly superficial) that I suggest changing:
    a) The current buttons labeled AI Assisted and Pro Editor are relatively large and take up lots of room in the first position in the Options bar. This disrupts well-established muscle movements when using the Options bar. I keep reaching up to the Options bar and landing in the wrong place, because everything else has moved to the right. This adds time and some frustration to using many tools. So please make those buttons smaller and move them somewhere else.
    b) I also think the names of the two buttons are not ideal. “AI Assisted” is pretty obtuse. Why not call it what it is; perhaps something like “Gen AI Tools”. And “Pro Editor” sounds like something new (although it is simply the regular Photoshop interface we’ve all known and used forever), and I think the word “Pro” could scare away many users.

    Just my 2 cents.

    This sounds like a total game-changer! The seamless switch between AI Assisted and Pro Editor with layer retention is definitely the best feature. Can't wait to test out the Markup and Fill tools on my current🎨✨ projects! Thanks for the update!..

    It’s such a big step in a new direction, I found it all less intuitive than most new Photoshop features.  If you feel that a heads up on how the different new functions work, Adobe Live uploaded a useful video yesterday.  I certainly found it helpful.

    I completely agree with your point, and I’d like to add that this is an important topic worth discussing further.

    This looks like a really useful direction for Photoshop. Being able to describe an edit in natural language while still keeping the traditional tools available could make quick adjustments much faster. I’m especially interested to see how well the Remove and Expand features handle more complex images. Looking forward to trying it.

    Photoshop’s AI Assisted Editor Beta looks like a really useful step toward making image editing faster and more accessible. The ability to describe an edit using simple prompts can save a lot of time, especially when working on repetitive tasks or experimenting with creative ideas. What I find most interesting is how this approach could help users focus more on the final concept instead of spending too much time searching through complicated tools and settings. At the same time, having control over the results will still be important for professional designers who need precise adjustments. Photoshop 27.10 seems to combine traditional editing capabilities with newer AI features in a practical way. I’m especially interested in seeing how accurately it understands natural-language instructions and how well the generated edits blend with the original image. Overall, this beta looks promising for both beginners and experienced Photoshop users.
