The topic Adobe Photoshop update brings on-device AI processing, but there is a catch is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
Adobe released Photoshop version 27.7 today, and one of the most interesting additions is an on-device AI model for the Remove tool that, alas, comes with rather steep hardware requirements. Here are the details.
Headlining today’s release notes of Adobe Photoshop 27.7 is an interesting tidbit on the Remove tool:
This means users can rely on the AI-powered Remove tool even if they don’t have an active internet connection.
What’s more, on-device models are generally preferred for privacy reasons, as the information never needs to leave the device for processing.
Of course, local AI processing is only as good as the hardware it runs on. And that’s where the catch comes in.
The Remove tool supports an on-device model that processes edits locally on your device. This option is available when you select Device mode and requires the following minimum hardware configurations.
This means that for Macs that fall outside these minimum requirements, the Device option is grayed out, leaving users only with the cloud-based (but still powerful) version of the AI-powered Remove tool.
