Adobe has dropped some big Photoshop updates on us for Adobe Max 2024 which is currently being held in Miami – and the focus is well and truly on AI.

New features include a brand-new Distraction Removal tool which offers a one-click solution to removing unwanted or distracting wires, cables, or people from a photo. Almost certainly a response to phone companies' moves in the AI space with default apps like Google Photo’s excellent Magic Eraser, which increasingly offers one-click AI retouching and object removal. Distraction removal is available in Photoshop v26, and people removal is available on the Photoshop web app.
