IT Home reported on October 21 that technology outlet Digital Camera World published a post yesterday (October 20) saying Adobe is redesigning how filters work in Photoshop. The current approach is like “printing a filter onto a photo,” while the new system “turns a filter into an effect layer that can be moved, adjusted and removed at any time.”
In the current version of Photoshop, after choosing a filter, users usually have to select a layer, adjust the settings in a pop-up window and click to confirm. The filter effect is then applied directly to the pixels of that layer.
If users later want to change the intensity, color or area affected, they often have to reopen the filter, undo the operation or revert through the history panel. To apply the effect to only part of an image, they also need to duplicate a layer, create a selection or add a mask.
The new system instead turns filters into independent effects more like layers. Users can drag a filter onto a specified layer in the Layers panel—for example, applying Gaussian blur only to the background layer while keeping the person in focus. Filter settings will also move from pop-up windows to the Properties panel, allowing users to see changes on the canvas in real time and adjust settings such as intensity, position, size and color at any time. IT Home provides the relevant screenshots below:
If an effect is unsatisfactory, users can modify, hide, delete or replace the filter without altering the original photo. This makes effects such as selective blur, film light leaks and lens flares easier to create, and better suits post-processing workflows that involve repeated experimentation with styles.
Adobe is also demonstrating another capability of Photoshop AI Assistant: users can ask the AI to create custom filters, such as lens flare or raindrop effects, and include adjustable sliders. However, the light leak filter itself does not rely on generative AI. Adobe said the related updates are expected to begin rolling out later this year.
