In this video, we will fully break down all 14 big new updates to Photoshop, from Rotate Object to Reference Image support, and test how they actually perform in real-world editing. We’ll start with the new Reflection Removal directly inside Photoshop, see how using it as layers gives you more flexibility, and where it falls short compared to Camera Raw. Then we’ll test the updated AI models, including Firefly Image 5 and new additions like Nano Banana 2, while looking at credit usage, resolution, and if they show strange AI artifacts that can ruin an image. We’ll also explore the new credit transparency inside Photoshop, helpful improvements like Layer Cleanup, the redesigned Actions panel, updates to Dynamic Text, and features that have now moved from Photoshop Beta into the main version, like Rotate Object. Along the way, we’ll look at the pros, cons, and better alternatives wherever needed, so the goal is not just to show what’s new, but to help you understand which features are genuinely useful, which ones still need work, and how to get the best results from this Photoshop update. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

00:00 Intro
Bro I used to watch your videos when I was studying in India. I was not able to continue paying for my Adobe creative cloud subscription after coming back to Africa. So I stop learning graphics and video editing. But now I have considered getting my friends in India to pay for my adobe subs so I can resume.
00:19 1. Reflection Removal as Layers
02:15 2. General Distractions
Thanks for the great review!
05:27 3. Firefly Image Model 5
09:55 4. New Model Picker
Always appreciate your updates man! my Photoshop just updated and I knew you would have a video covering it lol
10:13 5. New Partner Models in Photoshop
10:31 6. Updated Prompt Bar
Totally with you on the statement you made at the end, I've been using AI excessively since the early days and used to get so excoted for new releases, but now...I'm tired too.
10:58 7. Reference Image for Partner Models
11:55 8. Credit Usage Transparency
What?! That is UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you ADOBE!!! And Unmesh, bro, REALLY nice of you to show this. Wow! Still feel that Bazinga!
14:03 9. Layer Cleanup
16:34 10. Rotate Object
This video was quite helpful. However the reflection removal did not show up in the 27.7 version and it was only available in the beta or while using camera raw. I could not find the function in the edit drop down...and i never was able to get it to appear. I am sure others experienced the same issue. I have a new imac m4 with the latest tahoe. So, maybe it has been released to you outside of the U.S but not here in the States, yet.
18:32 11. Text to Image Experience
21:18 12. New Actions Panel
my pro plan is with 4k credits. But i see your credits are 6k?
26:25 13. Updates to Dynamic Text
29:11 14. Photoshop and Firefly Boards
I left fucking adobe three years ago best decision I ever made, adobe is like trump and the US, a pile of overrated 💩
30:36 Tired of AI?

I'm surprised that there isn't a dedicated tool set/environment for adjusting colours with the help of AI. It's not like it's overly complicated without AI, but especially combined with intricate masks, an AI would likely be much faster at changing the colour of, say, fur or foliage.

► DOWNLOADS:
I’m still confused about the actions panel. When it was first changed, you could type in almost anything you wanted and it would give you options. Is that gone? I used to get options for a mild vignette vs strong, lightly sharpen which was perfect, and I could add a 50, 150 or 300 pixel border. All that seems to be gone. Am I missing something?

30:18 ok... but Why??! it doesn't even update the source it just preloads it. You could have gone ctrl+c, alt+tab, cntrl+v like 100 times in the time it takes to do all of this.

00:30:54 Every day I wake up, I'm bombarded with AI. And honestly, I'm tired. I don't know how you feel about that, but it's just something I feel.
I can see where that would be true if you are only interested in AI.
If you have something to say, and then go to AI, it makes more sense.
Don’t let technology mold you to its needs.
Thanks for the vid.

Reptile texture isn't just Firefly - I see it in other models. If the changes are okay, just composite the changes to the original.
More User Perspectives
Nahhh a lot already transitioned using Adobe.
@dandandan123-y5dAnijam can do something like that
@Pedro-luo1. Firefly changed your father's face in the Eiffel tower photo on the first try.
2. If you want us to see the "reptile texture", use before/after when zoomed in.
3. Enabling Tooltips, with all it's annoyances just to get credits info is bad.
4. The Background layer didn't get renamed after the Clean-up in your frist example either.
5. Don't choose "Art Deco" style if you don't want it to look like it's painted like that. You didn't choose that in the Firefly workspace. And your first attempt WAS actually seamless.
I have updated all of my CC subscription apps such as bridge, photoshop but yhe reflection removal option is not there at all. It's not greyed out, it's just not there? How do I get it? Thanks so much
@janicesugden5603I do not see all the different distractions to select specific ones... anyone can help please? Thx.
@haraldbiebel9806it was awesome thank u!
@Bambi2402Fun to see new updates, but for me, the $840 annual fee (to rent a product) just wasn't worth the nifty new features. That said, maybe Photoshop will evenually be worth $20 a month as a solo app. Sucks to part after 20 years of using Ps. But too pricey now.
@renaissancejamesYes, i'm tired too – for searching an finding things that doesn't work with AI. Everybody is saying „it can this, it can that, this and that and this“ and nobody talks about it cannot. But Adobe has a good approach, they try to bind the „this or that“ onto specific conditions, so that it doesn't hang in the „empty-meaning-space“. I call this always „Workflows“. The whole AI-World tells us you can rule that with an „intelligent“ Prompt, but i can't an will not write prompts with the length of a bible to get „eventually“ „someday“ the output that i want. But that is the meaning (and the power) of semantic, the knowledge of linguistic meaning, you can't describe complex meaning without describing surrounding conditions, which we are so used in our all day communication, that we aren't aware of them anymore and when we try to describe (prompt) it, we always forget the invisible conditions of that image (vision), not to talk about missing the specific technical knowledge we often don't have (but the AI needs for specific outputs). That means we NEED context conditions for not to get lost in the mountain of meanings. The same happens with AI programming, these people get lost in the „Mountain of paths“, it just a linking of moduls, plugins, sub-routines, -programs, functions and arrays of things which we often don't know or can recognize anymore.
@markkusq3poThat reflection removal is INSANE.
@NananeaI am curious as to what the difference is between "regular" harmonize feature in PS and the harmonize feature under Neural Filters
@mmontalvo8579I'm tired of Ai. Thank you...6 7!
@RobAlfieInostrozaLindleyAs always always thank you thank you good job and great video! I feel like a lot of these features ,of course especially AI, are Hit or Miss depending on the picture or the subject or the quality of course. Anybody else perhaps?
@RobAlfieInostrozaLindleyAdobe is turning Photoshop into a cash grabbing machine. I'm not paying for those credits. They're updating only the Ai features.
@dustermcclean2517I have an image that photoshop does nothing on to remove the reflection. just gives me the same image and a black one. I'm obviously in 8bit mode. I'm not sure whats going on.
@SignsofAmusementHi Unmesh, for "generative credit usage," the window doesn't pop up in my PS. I have tried all the options you showed in this video. It's always grayed out. I am using the latest version of PS on Mac (Apple M4 Max).
@nadimhaider5631Great overview. Thank you!
@SethYoderMusicThe 'credit usage' icon doesn't appear when I use generative fill. And it does't work when I press in in the 'Generative upscale' dialog box either.
Has anyone any ideas why? Thanks
21:18 new actions panel is gold, wow
@BirkanBulutAnother excellent, helpful tutorial Unmesh, thank you!
@tonycook1532Your seamless pattern prompt was the problem. You can get seamless textures consistently with good prompts.
@CPUGaming11:13 - THAT is amazing. Think of the possibilities for image references to any subject in your image. 🤯
@ChristopherDillmansuuuuper
@murugan1960Amazing to be fair.
@steviebhoyeVery informative as usual, but for me I am SICK of AI........AI is ruining photography and editing. Its making people lazy. Also why roll something out that does not even work correctly!
@chrislewis6052Oh yes, let's edit out everything we don't like ... let's see where that takes us ... again ...
@daeneasjAI is devaluing the craftsmanship of creative design and production. Not impressive anymore if everyone can slam dunk a basketball.
@ivanso1978Yes, there is a lot here, thanks for keeping the pace exciting!
@23432Make a video on how to edit and premium colour grid Bengali wedding single portrait shots and couple shoots images which skin retouching. please Sir
