Photoshop 2024 NEW Features (No More BETA! )

[@alan.macrae]

Creative integrity, something we need more of. Thank you, Matt.

[@RoyBlackwell]

Thanks Matt, for your 'real world' overview on generative AI and the free ebook. I'll take at look at the course.

[@KyleBursaw]

Hi Matt, I've recently been organizing my oldest hard drives onto a NAS and ran across an itunes folder full of video podcasts from 2006 that I used to watch on the first generation of ipod that had video. Photoshop TV and Photoshop Killer Tips, were among them. All in glorious 320x240 12fps! Probably some of the first tips I learned about editing back then. Glad to see you're still at it.

[@Trish12303]

Thanks Matt! Great information!! I appreciate that you want to keep the integrity of photography. 🙂

[@MattKloskowski]

My pleasure!

[@gailj1000]

another great video - thanks for updating us on each version so much appreciated

[@jtinoco9859]

Great tutorial and real life instances where generative fill is a good option to enhance or repair our photos. Kudos to you on the new podcast. I enjoyed the first two episodes. Keep them coming. Thank you!

[@TC_Conner]

Excellent example of a real world use Matt. Thanks for showing us great uses of the new feature!

[@estheticsdenturestudioinc.291]

Excellent, practical photographic integrity with the generative fill

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks!

[@WilliamParmley]

Top drawer stuff! Thanks, Matt!

[@Frank19747]

Thanks matt for the video.

[@profsteve7653]

Great video Matt and Adobe adding more tools for us. I wish I had this last summer Midjourney v 4 only did 1:1 so i spent too many hours laboring with PS-CC to fill in for std print sizes. I got great results but it was painstaking work now its a few clicks or better MDJ has more format options and zoom out finally, thanks for the e books

[@darekpro6117]

excellent: informative, real-world, relevant. Thank you, as always.

[@ronlarsen471]

I took a typical studio portrait of a couple on my popup white background. Based on the color of their clothing i thought it would be better with a mottled/colored background and it worked well for that.

[@johnbosmaphoto]

As always very helpful overview!

[@wxyz237]

Very down to earth. Great!

[@paulmmcleod]

Is there a way to save the background generated so you could use it in another photo? For example, I have several portraits that I would like to use the same background on.

[@user-bk2mu3em2i]

Simply put, your video reviews are the best! You always have such great real world examples and how to make them work. Big question, should now move to Photoshop 2024 and delete the old beta?

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks! Yes, there is no need for a beta anymore.

[@carmelotreviso]

Thank you.

[@Topgunphoto]

Has anyone had issues with the heal brush not matching the surrounding area and makes it very pixelated. I didn't have any problems prior to this update.

[@AliSina2000]

thanks man

[@McCloud23892]

My Photoshop 2024 ACTIONS window keeps freezing on this new Photoshop 2024 update, with a fast computer. Is anyone else having this problem?

[@GeoffColeO1959]

I'm a bit confused. On Creative Cloud my Photoshop shows as PS Beta v25.2 , updated 2 days ago. Are your comments only relating to the US Version or do we get a different version in Australia?

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. Don't go in to the "Beta" section and you won't see beta versions. Just install the normal Photoshop from the "Apps" section.

[@GeoffColeO1959]

@@MattKloskowski Thank you that seems to have solved my problem.

[@rdbimages]

Matt, in the photo of your son and his lady friend, when you changed the background I noticed his ears were altered (and not in a good way). Did you notice that? How did you deal with that? Thanks.

[@MattKloskowski]

I adjusted the mask in the version I liked (in a good way). As I cycle through some of the examples, the mask may not have worked for some of them.

[@jaspergoodall3206]

I’m interested to know what resolutions you we’re working at with your examples? I tried in beta to generative fill a wider crop on a gfx100 file. Bad result because the fill area was so low resolution, so I wrote off this function as useless for my needs. Have you lowered the resolution of these images? If not how big are they and did the fill seem like the right resolution? I’ll of course try it again to verify but was just interested in what your thoughts are in this. I was under the impression that Adobe trained it’s AI on lower res images and so cannot work well on higher res files. Am I mistaken? Thanks 😊

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. Not really sure There is a resolution limit of around 2000 pixels Most photos will do fine with it depending on the level of detail of what you add. A blurry background would look fine because it’s blurry. Best advice is to try it out.

[@carmelotreviso]

Does this work with RAW files or will I need to save off to a psd file first?

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. It works on any image you can open in Photoshop. Thanks.

[@MsPernickety]

Is it true that they are going to give you credits in order to use this tool. If you use them up you will have to buy them from 1st Nov.

[@MattKloskowski]

Yep.

[@RoyBlackwell]

@@MattKloskowski Not exactly correct. I have heard you can continue to use GenAI except that it can take longer to render your AI content. Your credit allowance is for 'priority' use of GenAI.

[@jshep23]

Where's the paint bucket 😢 I miss him

[@rajulathigra6469]

I was shocked to see a photo of your son! I thought you looked like 35-40 year old guy!!!!!😜

[@MattKloskowski]

I used to look like a 35-40 year old... 15 years ago! ;-) Thanks!

[@ronniea.4830]

I just wish they'd add higher res later.

[@MattKloskowski]

I don't recall ever hearing them say they won't. Right now, no AI generation apps produce high quality. I have to imagine it's coming as technology improves.

[@RoyBlackwell]

I could be wrong but I believe resolution has been increased from 1024x1024 to 2000x2000.

[@kenparnell7074]

I heard rumens that in October depending on what level of photoshop you are purchasing each month, to use generative file will cost credits to use, if you use all your credits up before months end you would have to purchase some more.

[@MattKloskowski]

Not a rumor. 100% true... helpx.adobe.com/firefly/using/generative-credits-faq.html

[@RoyBlackwell]

I believe Adobe has stated that if you use up your monthly allowance of 'priority' credits, you can continue to use GenAI except that the time it takes to generate your content may take longer. As noted, you can purchase another 100 'priority' credits for $4.99.

[@MattKloskowski]

All covered in the link I shared.

[@MarKuzvicky]

This is there to be used and abused as much as possible - both of which are good in the long run.

[@brianlemke6017]

Great tutorial and tips. A skeptic would observe the early release of the update coincides with jacking up the subscription fees. Purely coincidence, I’m sure. On a more sobering note, it’s truly unfortunate that with AI, photographs no longer represents the truth. I’m not talking about artistic expression but the real world of news, events, crime and evidence. No photo can be looked at as an accurate depiction of a scene, person or persons ………….. or lack thereof.

[@MattKloskowski]

It sounds like you're pretty skeptical so who knows. No reason to speculate - it is what it is and luckily my subscription of LR and PS didn't go up. Though the prices don't increase until Nov 1, so I'm not sure how releasing it in Sept vs Oct would be different. As for AI, what you wrote couldn't be further from the truth. There's nothing new that wasn't extremely easy to do in the past. Photos haven't been trustworthy for decades and definitely not over the last 10 years. This changes nothing other than maybe it's a little easier to do. If you want to fake something, you're were going to find a way regardless.

[@brianlemke6017]

@@MattKloskowski I think you kinda missed my point. Whether as a result of the new AI tools, which allow a trained monkey to alter a photo, or manipulation through experts with the advent of PS a few decades back, it’s a sobering reality. Any time I see a photo posted on IG or FB these days, especially spectacular ones I want to applaud, I ask myself if it’s real. And too often, it’s not; with no acknowledgement by the author. A sad state of affairs.

[@MattKloskowski]

Maybe follow more reputable people? I know none of the people I follow are generating photos from AI. You can look at it and decide to be sad or decide to be happy and lean in to changes. The choice for either is yours though but the doom and gloom perspective is never a good one.

[@brianlemke6017]

@@MattKloskowski an AI generated photo recently won a “reputable” international photography competition, complete with the cash prize. The judges never discovered the fraud; it came out when the winner publicly admitted it ……. perhaps to make exactly the point I’m making. So let me know how to distinguish reputable from disreputable. Don’t condescend. Today, my son-in-law and his fellow teachers have almost no means to determine if work submitted by their students is authentic or ChatGPT plagiarized BS. Everywhere, there are lawsuits being generated and efforts underway to control or moderate AI. So, it’s a problem. But yeah, I’ll be sure I look at stuff by reputable people.

[@MattKloskowski]

You're right. I agree. Photography is screwed. Happy now? (rhetorical question... no need to answer)

[@davebassP5]

Its a shame we will have to pay extra if we use this new feature on a regular basis.

[@MattKloskowski]

Not at all. You get 250 and if you need more you only pay if you choose the higher speed render. You’ll be able to do low speed for free.

[@davebassP5]

@@MattKloskowski but not high speed, so based on a persons usage there will or can be an extra charge. Which is what I said.
