Coincidentally, I recently discovered a qualification I have in Adobe Photoshop from an evening course I did at a local college 21 years ago. I distinctly remember back then — as I created bizarre, angsty images for DeviantArt — that Photoshop felt so complex, so broad that it was difficult to imagine how anyone could be a true expert on it. How could anyone really know every slider of every feature? I think I was incorrect back then — it probably was knowable — but at the risk of making the same mistake again, I don't think you can have a complete understanding anymore.
Photoshop 2025 will bring with it a whole host of features, as every major update does, and in this video, Unmesh Dinda goes through his top seven. For me, while contentious, I'm most interested in the AI updates and, in particular, the Generative Fill, which has been upgraded to Firefly Model 3 from Firefly Model 1.
Is there anything in Photoshop 2025 that has caught your eye?
I still use the 2002 version. It still works. I just adjust the image a bit and move on.
