Adobe has released Photoshop 27.7, an update that changes how its Remove tool works. The main novelty is that the artificial intelligence model now runs locally on your computer, without relying on the cloud. This allows you to erase objects by freehand painting and generate a clean background instantly. The first use may be slower while the model downloads, but afterward the process is fast and private.
How the new local AI processing works 🖥️
The AI model is downloaded and installed directly on the user's hard drive. By running locally, it eliminates connection latency and privacy concerns associated with sending images to external servers. The tool analyzes the image, identifies the object to remove, and generates a coherent replacement with the background. Adobe optimized the algorithm to work on mid-range consumer hardware, although performance depends on available GPU and RAM. After the initial download, subsequent removals are nearly instantaneous.
Goodbye to waiting: now your PC works while you pretend to be productive 😅
Finally, the excuse of the server is slow disappears. Now your computer will sweat bullets downloading the model while you stare blankly at the screen with a concentrated face. And when you finish removing your ex from that group photo, you can show off fast editing without relying on Adobe having a good day on their servers. All advantages, except that your old laptop might start sounding like a hair dryer.
