When should I use Photoshop app vs. the Photoshop (Beta) app?

Use Photoshop for consistent stability, feature polish, or if you need to create content for commercial purposes. Use Photoshop (beta) for earlier access to the latest features, given that these features are still being updated based on user feedback.

For example, Generative Fill and Generative Expand have been in the Photoshop app and are designed to be safe for commercial use. This helps ensure you can push the bounds of your creativity, confidently, knowing that the current Firefly generative AI model is trained on a dataset of Adobe Stock along with openly licensed work and public domain content where copyright has expired.

And while Generative Fill and Generative Expand may also still be available in the Photoshop (beta) app, the content generated in the Photoshop (beta) app may not be used for commercial purposes.

Note:

Outputs from generative AI features without the beta label can be used commercially.

Outputs from generative AI beta features can be used commercially unless otherwise designated in the product or elsewhere, but these outputs are not eligible for indemnification while in beta.
