Remove goes local

Adobe Photoshop 27.7 adds an on-device AI model option for the Remove tool. After the model download, object removal can run locally without cloud processing. You can download, cancel, or remove the model whenever you want, and Photoshop checks hardware compatibility automatically before it starts. You can also switch between cloud and on-device processing.

In the on-device Remove workflow, Photoshop exposes a Device option for generative AI processing, and the model download is roughly 5 GB. If the Device option stays unavailable, the documented behavior is that the system does not meet the minimum requirements for the model. The net effect for artists is simple: you get a loacl option for Remove when you cannot, or do not want to, round-trip to the cloud.

So far no information if that still uses AI-credits in one way or another.

Boards, now with fewer copy-pastes

Photoshop 27.7 tightens integration with Firefly Boards in a few practical places. You can share any Photoshop document directly to Firefly Boards, either by creating a new board or adding to an existing one, from the Share panel and the Export menu.

Firefly Boards also appears as a destination inside the Variations panel for moodboarding and comparing AI-generated variations. When you generate image variations with Ideate in Firefly Boards, you can open those variations in a preconfigured Board layout for further exploration and iteration. New guided workflows target moodboards and visual concepts, branding and marketing assets, and social media content.

Credits and account controls move into the room

Photoshop 27.7 expands access to premium generative AI features for eligible subscribers. Existing generative credits can now be used across both standard and premium generative AI features. Photoshop also adds a Unified Account Menu in the Edit workspace, where you can view and manage account and subscription details, plus generative credits.

Small workflow fixes that add up

Save for Web gets a modernized interface intended to match the rest of Photoshop more closely. File handling and preferences get two quality-of-life toggles. You can open JPEG files as a regular layer instead of a locked background layer. You can also create new documents without a default background layer, starting with a transparent canvas.

Under the hood, the internal Metrics module is refactored to focus on heavy-use metrics, with the stated goal of reducing telemetry overhead and improving responsiveness during normal operation. Canvas HUD diagnostics move out of the canvas context area and into the View menu.

Fix-wise, Photoshop addresses a customer-reported issue where Hue and Saturation ranges did not update when selecting a prominent color preset from the Properties panel. On Windows, it also fixes an inability to launch versions 26.2 and 25.12.1 simultaneously. The Open JPEG without Background layer preference now defaults to off to avoid confusing existing users, and the Learn More URL in the generative credits quota exhausted notification is updated.

What to test before you bet a deadline on it

On-device Remove changes performance, storage, and review habits in a way that only shows up in your own shot types, textures, and delivery constraints. Test new builds and new AI paths before you roll them into production, especially if you need strict repeatability across machines and artists.

Adobe has released an update for its Premiere Pro software, integrating advanced AI features that promise to shorten video editing workflows. Central to this release is the incorporation of Adobe’s Firefly video model, an AI-driven toolset designed to simplify various stages of video production.

Adobe’s latest update also introduces the ability to adjust clip duration seamlessly using AI, making it easier to tweak the length of footage without losing important moments. If an Artist needs to add or remove a few seconds from a sequence, Premiere Pro now uses Firefly’s AI to intelligently fill or stretch the video to cover gaps, maintaining the flow without requiring complex manual edits. This is particularly useful in fast-paced edits where timing adjustments are common.

The newer Firefly models are noticeably faster, delivering results almost instantly, even on high-resolution video footage. This speed improvement means Artists spend less time waiting for renders or previews and can experiment with more creative options within tight production schedules.

Lastly, the update includes AI-driven tools for removing unwanted objects or distractions from video scenes. Whether it’s a microphone boom sneaking into the shot or an errant passerby in the background, Firefly analyzes the footage and automatically removes these elements while preserving the surrounding details, making cleanup work much simpler and less time-consuming.

Firefly, already familiar to many Artists from Adobe’s graphic and design tools, now extends into video with this new version. Firefly in Premiere Pro allows Users to generate, refine, and adapt video content using text prompts, effectively automating tasks that would otherwise require hours of manual labor. Adobe markets it as an innovation that will speed up production times, but for Artists, the real value lies in Firefly’s ability to automate mundane tasks while keeping creative control intact.

Another new feature in this update is the “Generative Fill” for video. This tool works much like its Photoshop counterpart, allowing Artists to fill gaps or remove unwanted objects from video scenes. Again, the workflow is text-based: you type in what you want, and Firefly suggests options. This feature is especially useful in post-production, where filling in backgrounds or adjusting objects can slow down projects.

Adobe has also introduced AI-Powered Color Correction, which uses machine learning models to analyze footage and suggest optimized color settings. This is an addition to the familiar Lumetri Color tools but aims to make the color grading process faster and more intuitive.

In terms of pricing, Premiere Pro continues with its subscription model. The standalone subscription costs $20.99 per month, with discounts available for those who bundle it with other Adobe Creative Cloud products. For professionals who want to test out the new features, Adobe offers a free trial version as well.

One key concern with any new tool is stability. While Adobe’s marketing highlights the benefits of AI-driven automation, Artists should approach these tools with caution. Early adoption of new technology always carries risks, especially when implementing them in active projects. Extensive testing is recommended before deploying Firefly-generated assets or relying on AI color correction for final deliverables. The tools show promise, but stability remains critical, particularly for professionals handling tight deadlines and high-profile projects.

For detailed information, Adobe has provided comprehensive documentation on the new features, accessible through the official Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. Those interested in the Firefly AI model can also check out Adobe’s Firefly page. While the excitement around new technology is high, experienced Artists know that adopting tools like Firefly must be balanced with caution, ensuring that new efficiencies don’t compromise quality or stability.

(P.S: The other Updates of Adobe during their Event Adobe Max will come in the next few days – we just started playing around with the new Frame Io, and haven’t even touched the other tools. )
