Photoshop Rolls Out Firefly AI Harmonize Upscale and Remove Tools

Adobe Photoshop users can now access three Firefly-powered generative AI tools: a photo harmonization feature that relights composites while preserving structure, an 8MP upscaling tool for sharper images, and an improved AI remove tool for seamless object deletion. Available in Photoshop’s beta desktop, web app, and iPhone mobile app for harmonize, these updates aim to streamline editing workflows and elevate creative precision.

Adobe Photoshop is taking its generative AI suite to the next level, rolling out three new Firefly-powered editing tools. The update includes a harmonization feature that seamlessly relights composite photos, an eight-megapixel generative upscaling tool for sharper imagery, and an enhanced remove tool for more precise object erasure. All are available now in Photoshop’s beta desktop and web apps, with harmonize also on iPhone.

Firefly-Powered AI Tools Arrive

  • Photo harmonization: Relight and match composite elements without altering structure or faces.
  • Generative upscaling: Boost resolution up to eight megapixels for cleaner, sharper images.
  • Enhanced AI remove: More precise object selection and seamless blending for cleaner edits.

Photo Harmonization in Detail

Previously known as Project Perfect Blend at Adobe Max, the harmonization tool uses Firefly AI to generate new lighting conditions as an invisible layer over existing objects. It intelligently matches coloring, shadows, and highlights to the environment, preserving facial features and structural details in minutes rather than hours of manual adjustment.

Generative Upscaling Enhances Resolution

Upscaling is a staple of generative AI workflows, and Photoshop’s new feature promises to crank existing images up to eight megapixels. More pixels translate to crisper details, making large-format prints, high-res banners, and detailed product shots pop with clarity.

AI Remove Gets Smarter

The generative remove tool now offers more precise selection controls and improved blending algorithms. That means removing distractions or unwanted objects yields cleaner edges and a more natural fill, reducing manual touch-ups and accelerating retouch workflows.

Getting Started and Pricing

To try these tools, open Photoshop’s beta desktop or web app; photo harmonization is also live on the iPhone mobile app. Photoshop plans start at $20 per month. As Adobe embeds AI across its suite—from generative fill to video audio in Firefly—the company maintains that its models train only on licensed and public domain content.

Adobe’s newest AI rollout underscores the growing role of generative models in creative production. As organizations weigh copyright and workflow benefits, tools like Firefly harmonize, upscale, and remove will shape how professionals and hobbyists alike bring ideas to life—faster and with greater precision.
