    Photoshop 27.0 looks like a game-changer for creatives! Harmonize and Generative Upscale will save tons of time on color matching and image enhancement, while Firefly animation and Adobe Express templates make content creation much faster.

    Thanks for sharing the update!
    Photoshop MAX 2025 ke naye features bohot impressive lag rahe hain—especially the Harmonize tool. Color, lighting aur shadows ka automatic matching composite work ko definitely faster aur more realistic bana dega.

    Generative Upscale aur Firefly animation options bhi strong additions hain, especially un designers ke liye jo low-res images ya quick motion graphics par kaam karte hain.
    Flux Kontext Pro integration ka use dekhne ke liye bhi excited hoon.

    Overall, yeh update workflow speed aur creativity dono ko boost karega. Looking forward to trying these features in real projects!

    The new Adobe update isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a creative awakening. Tools like Harmonize and Generative Upscale prove that AI can elevate artistry without replacing it. Adobe has successfully made AI feel like a genuine creative partner, marking a pivotal shift in digital design history.

    The focus on AI feels like hype over substance. Yes, it’s impressive, but the core tools are becoming outdated and in some cases worse. Performance and stability should come first... Photoshop still crashes and freezes on high‑end hardware, color management is hell, UI workflow needs a lot of improvement, for example: workspace management has gone backwards. We used to be able to sync workspaces and tools across devices, now that’s gone, and the current system is clunky at best. The UI needs attention, workflows are fragmented (neural filters, camera raw, blur galleries, artboards, etc.), and the fundamentals aren’t improving, better cross integration between other apps, CC library doesn't cut it.. is slow and still lacks integration, want me to save my files on the cloud? then give me real tools to sync locally and manage my files and additional assets. Projects seems like a step forward, but is just a mild attempt (why has to be inside photoshop, and the CC app it's terrible btw) at the end, it seems to be more focused on integrate Adobe Express to the mix... 
     
    AI should support the creative workflow, not replace it. Professionals need performance, non‑destructive tools, and better integration, not just “magic” tools and another price increase.


    Focus on the fundamentals. Leave the hype behind.

    You’ve made some very solid points here. I agree that while AI features are exciting, core performance and workflow stability should always come first. A balanced approach where AI enhances, not replaces, the creative process would definitely serve professionals better in the long run. Hopefully Adobe takes more feedback like this seriously.

    This update looks really impressive. The new Harmonize feature sounds like a real time-saver for people who work with complex compositions or travel photos that need consistent color tones across different lighting conditions.

    I am especially interested in how Generative Upscale performs on real-world images, like night city shots or photos taken in low light. Has anyone tested how well it keeps the natural sharpness of original textures?

    The integration with Firefly also seems like a big step forward for motion design workflows. Excited to experiment with some travel-based edits using these new tools. Great work from the Adobe team!

    This update is a creative powerhouse! The new Harmonize and Generative Upscale tools look like real workflow boosters, and the Firefly animation feature opens up exciting new possibilities for motion design. It’s inspiring to see how Adobe continues to innovate while listening to the needs of artists and designers. Kudos to the whole Photoshop team for making version 27.0 such a solid, future-ready release
