About Adobe Photoshop (Generative Fill)

Adobe Photoshop 2026 turned the industry-standard photo editor into an AI workstation. Generative Fill now supports Reference Images so the AI matches a specific visual source, the new Harmonize Tool blends composited elements by matching lighting + shadows, and Firefly Image 5 produces cleaner texture and edge transitions. Photoshop is no longer locked to one model: choose Firefly (commercially safe), Google Gemini 3 (character consistency), or Black Forest Labs FLUX.2 Pro (photoreal + text). Available via Creative Cloud Photography ($9.99/mo) and Photoshop single-app subscriptions.
