Industry-standard raster editor with generative AI features built in
Adobe Photoshop is the long-established raster image editor, used for photo retouching, compositing, digital painting and print preparation. Its AI features, grouped under the Firefly brand, include Generative Fill and Generative Expand for adding or extending content, neural filters for tasks such as colourising and upscaling, and automatic selection and masking. Text and vector tools round out a very deep feature set. The differentiator is maturity: layer handling, colour management and format support are more complete than in newer AI-first editors.

Adobe sells Photoshop as a subscription rather than a perpetual licence. A single-app plan covers Photoshop alone, while the full Creative Cloud plan bundles it with other applications, and pricing differs by region and billing period.
Generative features consume credits included with the subscription, and heavy use can exhaust them before the billing period ends. Additional credits can be purchased separately, and some neural filters run locally without drawing on the same allowance.
It is stronger at editing, compositing and extending existing images than at producing a finished picture from a text prompt alone. For prompt-first generation, dedicated image models are the better starting point, with Photoshop for refinement.
