    I’ve been testing these new generative improvements in real-world editing scenarios, and the consistency is much better compared to previous versions. Looking forward to more control over fine details and texture accuracy in future updates. Great to see community feedback being implemented so quickly.

    Excited to see the Photoshop 27.4 update! The enhanced Generate Similar with the Firefly Fill & Expand model seems like it will really improve iterative design workflows, especially for quickly generating consistent variations. I also appreciate that community-reported bugs, like issues with the gradient tool and floating tabs, are being addressed—this makes testing and creating much smoother.

    For anyone experimenting with generative creative tools, I’ve been building a few interactive projects online where people can try small AI-driven quizzes and generate variations themselves—similar to testing creative outputs in Photoshop. One example is Rice Purity Test, where users can interact, see instant results, and iterate on inputs. It’s a fun way to explore user-driven content generation and get a feel for iterative design in a lightweight web environment.

    Curious to hear if others notice significant quality improvements with the new model compared to 27.3.1!

    Please prioritize the remove tool on windows for ARM. I have this shiny surface 11 pro just sitting around because I can't use my most used tool on that device. Or let us know if you're not planning to offer that, because then I know I'll have to sell this and get some other device that does give me the full experience.

    Great update. The improvements to Generate Similar sound promising—better consistency with the Firefly Fill & Expand model should make iterative design work much smoother. Also nice to see community-reported bugs getting fixed. Looking forward to testing it and seeing how the results compare with the previous version.

    Has anyone noticed a big difference in quality compared to the previous version? Also curious what others think should be prioritized next—more AI features or workflow fixes?

    I'm really excited about the new features. One small detail that has bothered me about Photoshop for a long time is that the loading screen isn't centered, unlike in other Adobe apps. It would be great if it could be aligned the same way as the others for a more consistent experience.
