Overview of Neural Filters

Last updated on Oct 27, 2025

Learn how Neural Filters in Adobe Photoshop use Adobe Sensei AI to colorize images, edit portraits, adjust depth, and apply other creative image effects.

What are Neural Filters?

Neural Filters are AI-powered tools in Photoshop that use machine learning to render creative and corrective effects to images. They provide a dedicated workspace that offers a library of filters to retouch, enhance, and transform images in a few clicks.

You can experiment with looks, restore photos, or test upcoming technology without permanently changing your original image. 

Neural Filter categories

Photoshop organizes Neural Filters into three distinct categories based on their development status:

  • Featured: Released filters ready for everyday use.
  • Beta: Filters still in development that you can try and provide feedback on.
  • Wait list: Preview filters that are planned for future release.

Why use Neural Filters

  • Retouch portraits by adjusting expression, age, or gaze.
  • Apply artistic or stylistic changes such as colorization or style transfer.
  • Enhance depth or atmosphere with blur and lighting adjustments.
  • Explore experimental filters and upcoming technology.
