Adobe Photoshop is Adobe's image editing and design application, used for photo editing, graphics and digital art. Its tools cover precise selections and background removal, retouching, text, brushes and artboards, and non-destructive adjustment layers and masks. Generative features such as Generative Fill, Generative Expand and Harmonize use Adobe Firefly models, and partner models can be used for upscaling. Photoshop runs on desktop, in the web browser and on mobile, and is provided through Adobe's Creative Cloud subscriptions.
Adobe Inc. is headquartered in San Jose, California, and is a publicly listed company on the Nasdaq, so US law applies to the vendor. Photoshop is proprietary software without a self-hosted option. The AI features are operated by Adobe, and for specific plans the locations where content is stored and where AI processing takes place should be confirmed in writing, for example in the data processing agreement. European organisations handling confidential or personal images should check this before enabling cloud and generative features.
