Photoshop 27.10: New AI editing tools, Light adjustment layer, and more!

very interesting observation from Blake Rudis… 

shame on Adobe that they dont explain how new features and tools exactly work and behave, especially when it is crucial for predictible editing workflow and editing result

and this is bigger reason to make Light adjusting layer as standalone and keep old Brightness and Contrast simultaneously

Photoshop 27.10 looks like a great update. I’m especially interested in the new Light adjustment layer and Prompt to Edit, since they could make everyday editing much faster while keeping more control over the final result. Looking forward to trying these features!

I’ve been enjoying the AI Assistant editor with Nano Banana and the ability to work without cropping on the same layer. However, I’ve noticed that the Firefly Image 5 model doesn’t seem to be performing as well as previous versions when processing the whole image, even when using the prompt in the contextual menu.

I personally find the required contextual menu workflow restrictive, as it interrupts my established editing process. I am now forced to either manually select an area or use the contextual menu, and neither approach feels as intuitive or effective as it was before.

Additionally, I specifically need dedicated Brightness and Contrast controls. The new Light adjustment layer doesn't seem to replicate the specific behavior of the legacy Brightness/Contrast adjustments. Is there a way to restore this functionality? Ideally, I would like to be able to use a command (like Command+A) to prompt for these adjustments directly and i feel like that firefly 5 was as strong as nano banana pro model , but the option currently appears grayed out. Could you please clarify if there is a workaround or if this is a known limitation?

These new AI editing tools look really impressive, especially the improved adjustment layers and generative features. Looking forward to trying them out!

Overnight, reference accuracy in Nanobanana Pro inside PS is absolutely terrible. Like, non-existant. And the reference image button is gray randomly. Are these known issues? If so, I need to cancel my three weekly credit re-ups…  

Bad. Just like the last update it’s laggy and just bad. I guess with a 4080, amazing CPU, and 64gb of ram your software just doesn’t work… ridiculous. I’m about to switch to a free program at this point :\

Loads of goodness!

I think this version is buggy. When I’m editing an image, I get a periodic flicker, a flash of light like a strobe light firing. Never did that before. 

What a waste of time for me.  How can I be editing a photo, saving it, and then going back to it, and the colours are way off.  

RGB以外のモードで壊滅的なバンディングが現われるバグも修正されたように見えますが、これはバグとして把握し、修正した、という認識でしょうか？

それともなんだか知らない間についでに治ったのでしょうか？

大変に重大な問題ですから、公式として明確に「修正した」と言って欲しいのですが。

お返事を待ちます。
