Adobe today announced several new and enhanced AI tools for Photoshop, with the additions aimed at making it easier for creators to tweak and clean up their images.

With Harmonize, Photoshop users can add a new object into an image or composition, and the app will analyze the surrounding content to automatically adjust color, lighting, shadows, and visual tone so that the object seamlessly fits in. Adobe says that the feature streamlines the creation of composite images and reduces the time needed for manual adjustments. Harmonize is available across Photoshop for desktop, the web, and mobile devices.

Generative Upscale provides resolution enhancements up to eight megapixels without impacting image clarity. The feature is able to improve image quality for print, or to boost the resolution of older files. Generative Upscale can be used on desktop and the web.

Adobe improved the Remove tool in Photoshop, and it now uses the latest Adobe Firefly Image Model. The updated Remove tool is able to more precisely erase unwanted objects from images, filling the gaps with realistic content. Edits will have fewer artifacts for a cleaner end result. The improved Remove tool is available for desktop and the web.

In Photoshop for the desktop, there's a new Projects option for managing and organizing creative work. Assets are aggregated into a shared, organized space, eliminating issues with collaboration and communication. Projects is designed to allow Photoshop users to share entire collections at once to cut down on versioning issues.

More information on the new features can be found on Adobe's website.

Actually it’s pretty easy to tell if it’s AI…
Just because you often see AI tells does not mean that there aren't cases where you were fooled by an AI image.
People say the same thing about digital special effects in movies. Yes, there are a lot of cases where something is noticeably fake, but that doesn't mean you catch all instances of it.

There are websites and tools to use to determine if something is fake or real if you have suspicions. I mean I did link a whole google search showing these websites and tools. Maybe you won't catch everything. It depends on if you care enough to find out. If you are suspicious, it's a fact that you can find out.

There is no tool that can catch 100% of AI images while not categorizing any non-AI images as AI.

Sure you can create a tool that does it, but it requires some smart computer vision and AI itself to do it.

All you need to do is look at the antialiasing and edge rendering. Photography doesn't render edges the same way CGI rendering or AI generation does. Compression artefacts are different too, with AI being the worst and the most low resolution.
 
All the internet rage about Adobe and subscription pricing is just getting so damn old.

It was mostly bots by a competitor and then cheapskates and software pirates mimicking the bots. There are half a dozen companies from Autodesk to Foundry who charge 5 to 10 times more money than Adobe.
 
Don’t use Adobe. Poof! It’s gone. Yes…believe it or not, it’s that simple😉
They are bigger than just Creative Cloud. They gave the whole Experience Cloud packages (enterprise CMS, etc).

There you see the very big dollar contracts.

We're definitely witnessing a major transformation of the digital world. No image or video can be trusted anymore.

Imagine a compromised device inserting objects into photos or videos that you take instantly without your knowledge!
I hope we see a complete pivot back to do dumb phones and smart people.

Instead of just giving me a thumbs down and linking to a Google search, link me to a specific tool that is 100% accurate at classifying images as AI.

I think I can identify a large majority of AI-generated images, but there are some that can fool me, especially if I'm not paying close attention.

And it gets more complicated when you are looking at images that are a combination of AI, real, and photoshopped (like things created with this tool are). I also saw an image recently that looked AI, but wasn't created with a text prompt. Instead, it was created from a real photo that had been AI-upscaled, with AI noise and jpg artifact removal.
