Adobe Photoshop review

Adobe Photoshop is the most complete AI image editor here because its generative tools sit inside a full layered editor. Adobe's help page describes Generative Fill as a way to use text prompts to alter an image non-destructively in Photoshop on desktop, and the same documentation covers Generative Expand, Enhance Detail and reference images. On iPhone and iPad, the app adds an AI Assistant that carries out an edit you describe and explains the tools it used. The free mobile app includes a wide set of editing tools, and the Photoshop Mobile & Web plan costs $7.99 a month or $69.99 a year on the US App Store. That plan adds the Remove Tool, Object Select, Content Aware Fill, PSD and TIFF export and 100 generative credits. The catch is the credit cap and the learning curve of layers and masks. Adobe's desktop plans page refused our request, so we only verified the mobile price. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
