Adobe has released version 27.5 of Photoshop, focused on improving the connection with its AI ecosystem. The update establishes a direct bridge to Firefly Boards, the online tool for creating inspiration boards with artificial intelligence. This allows opening Photoshop cloud files within Boards, editing them, and sending them back to the main software. This version also fixes issues with the Clarity and Dehaze effects from past updates.
Unified workflow between cloud applications 🚀
The technical integration is based on the use of Photoshop cloud documents (PSDC) as the central element. These files, hosted on Creative Cloud, act as a shared resource that both applications can read and modify. When a PSDC is opened in Firefly Boards, an optimized version for its interface is generated. Changes made, such as adding generative elements or annotations, are synchronized back while keeping the layers editable in Photoshop. This approach avoids manual export and import of files.
Subscribe today and pay tomorrow (and the day after, and forever) 💸
The functionality requires, as usual, an active Photoshop subscription and, to use Firefly AI, separate generative credits. Adobe perfects the art of everything extra: first you pay for the software, then for the cloud to use it together, and finally for the credits consumed by each idea. It's a system designed for your creativity to flow as freely as your wallet flows into their account. At least the bug fixes are included in the base package.
