TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Adobe Photoshop 27.7 introduces an on-device AI Remove tool that runs locally on supported Macs for better privacy and offline use.
The local feature is limited to high-end Apple silicon Macs with strict requirements; other systems will continue using cloud-based processing.
The update also adds Firefly Boards integration, broader access to premium generative AI features, and a unified account menu.
Overall, Adobe is expanding Photoshop’s AI workflow while splitting local and cloud capabilities based on hardware.
