Overview

Your guide to the world of Generative AI in Photoshop!

Everyone’s talking about the new Generative AI capabilities of Adobe Photoshop, and for good reason: This is the biggest update to Photoshop in its history. With the power of AI photo editing, you can now remove, expand, generate, change, or combine almost anything you need to in order to create the images you want.

While these features are incredibly powerful, it can be a struggle to get the best results from these powerful tools. What exactly can Generative Fill and Generative Expand do, and how do they do it? When should you use these tools, and when should you use another tool? If you want to incorporate these tools into your workflow, it’s very important to get an early grasp of these tools now—and get ahead of the crowd.

In this book, best-selling author Colin Smith walks you through Generative AI in Photoshop. With decades of experience working in the real world and training for Adobe, Apple, Nvidia, and many others, he knows Photoshop on a level that few do.
