If you’re a lover of photography or a graphic designer, you’re probably familiar with Photoshop. The latest generative AI revolution has transformed the way Photoshop works and has opened doors to even more incredible editing possibilities.
The Evolution of Content-Aware Fill
The content-aware fill feature has been a lifesaver for many Photoshop users. It was the go-to solution when one wanted to cut out an image and fill in the gap with sensible information. With the latest advancement in AI, however, there is now generative fill features that are even more precise.
Now, thanks to generative fill features, you can add a text prompt to fill gaps exactly as requested. For example, you can ask for a wooden table and get exactly that. This new feature is a game-changer and has proven invaluable in editing and design work.
Clever Object Editing
The generative AI revolution has also made it possible to change an image’s focal point entirely. A sharp object in the spotlight can now be changed to a blurred object in the background, and it knows how to do it. This makes it easier than ever before to enhance the focus of an image and achieve the exact look you want.
One limitation of the new generative AI is that it doesn’t do well with reflections. Nevertheless, it is still improving at a rapid pace, and it is only a matter of time before perfect reflection editing is a reality.
Sculpting Images to Perfection
There is even a technique that can change the posture, proportions, and pose of existing images. An unofficial implementation is available online, making it even more accessible to graphic designers and photographers who want to sculpt their images to perfection.
Lastly, some advanced tools can generate images without the need to write a text prompt. You can simply add an image and a little scribble, and the tool will create a new image that follows the style and scribble of the original input. With this, the new techniques may take some time to integrate into industry-standard tools like Photoshop.
The Future of Generative AI Revolution in Photoshop
The generative AI revolution in Photoshop is just getting started. Researchers are continually writing these amazing papers to go beyond what is possible today, and the future of photo editing and graphic design looks more promising than ever.
With such incredible advancements in technology, the possibilities for what Photoshop can achieve are endless. We’re excited to see what other tools and features will come with future advancements in this field.
