Use AI Assisted Editor

Last updated on Aug 28, 2026

Learn how to edit images in the AI Assisted Editor and seamlessly switch between the two modes in Adobe Photoshop on desktop.

  AI Assistant Editor is a beta feature in Adobe Photoshop on desktop now available for testing and feedback.

AI Assisted Editor (Beta) is a simplified, AI-powered mode in Photoshop that helps new users edit images using natural language prompts and AI-powered tools, such as Prompt, Markup, Fill, Remove, Crop and expand, Upscale, and Remove background.

Toggle between AI Assisted Editor and Pro Editor at any time. When switching from Pro Editor to AI Assisted Editor, layered documents are flattened to ensure compatibility, and when switching back, your latest AI Assisted Editor edit is added as a new layer, allowing you to continue editing without interrupting your workflow.

Launch Photoshop and use either option to open AI Assisted Editor:

  • If you are an eligible new user, Photoshop opens with a welcome experience for AI Assisted Editor. Select Get started to enter the mode.
  • If you are already using Photoshop, select the AI Assisted Editor mode toggle.
