Photoshop adds sketch-guided AI image editing tools
Adobe has updated Photoshop with a new Markup feature that lets users draw directly on an image and combine those sketches with text prompts to indicate AI-generated edits. The update also adds Lightroom-style lighting adjustments within Photoshop, addressing a longstanding workflow gap by allowing RAW-quality tonal changes without leaving the application or editing destructively.
Markup can be used to recolour selected areas, draw arrows for placement or sketch rough objects that Adobe’s Firefly Image 5 then turns into photorealistic additions. Other additions include masked prompt-based edits, a beta AI Assisted Editor grouping several generative tools, Dynamic Text for custom shapes and paths, and an integrated panel offering over 900 million Adobe Stock assets; the features are available through the latest Creative Cloud update.
- Photoshop now turns drawn instructions into AI image edits.
- Lightroom-style lighting controls are now built into Photoshop.
- The update also expands AI tools and Adobe Stock access.

Adobe Photoshop is an image-editing programme made by Adobe, used by photographers, designers and others to change pictures. Adobe has been adding generative AI features powered by Firefly, its system for creating or changing images from instructions.
These tools let users guide edits with sketches and written prompts, while other features bring more lighting controls and design options into Photoshop. They matter because they may change how people make detailed edits and whether they can do more of that work in one programme.
