Neural Filter
Neural Filter is a new workspace in Photoshop with a library of filters that dramatically reduce arduous workflows with just a few clicks using machine learning. powered by Adobe Sensei. Neural Filters is a tool that allows you to try out biological, non-destructive filters and discover creative ideas in seconds. Neural filters help you improve your images by creating new contextual pixels that are not actually present in your original image.
Neural filters are fundamentally different from traditional retouch filters in that they are not bound to existing pixels in the image. Instead, the Neural Filter can generate new pixels based on the content of the image, and what Adobe’s neural network knows about images like it. If you’ve ever watched a deepfake video or a Snapchat live filter, that’s the kind of thing that AI can do. In Photoshop, however, those tools have a much more practical purpose, which can make these tools a reality — at least if you choose to use them that way.
For example, it is always possible to modify the subject’s face through the Liquify tool, which allows us to push and pull existing pixels into new positions. But since Neural Filters are not tied to those specific pixels, they can create new pixels and turn scowling faces into smiles or head turns, change focus, color correct scale images gray or even change the direction of light.
Features of Neural Filter
- To start using Neural Filters, look for the Neural Filters heading on Photoshop’s Filters menu to open the Neural Filters panel. From there, you’ll see the Highlight options available—currently Skin Smoothing, JPEG Artifact Removal, and Styling. H
ai the first way is quite easy to understand – although powerful and effective – while the third way provides a way to take a sample image and map the colors, patterns and textures from it onto a new image. Exploring this filter reminds me of the early 1990s days when I first experimented with Photoshop 3.0 filters — often to deal with a disastrous effect. But, sure, like those, we’ll soon learn what works and what doesn’t and how things can be good in moderation. - Moderation is in fact key with many Neural Filters – especially those that move around parts of the body. You are not likely to turn a person’s head 90 degrees and be satisfied with the results. Nor should you expect to turn a frown into a grin with anything that approaches realism. But if you find yourself thinking, “I wish their eyes were to the left a bit more” or “If only they smiled a little less,” these Neural Filters could be the solution.
- Easily switch between the before and after views of the effects with the toggle next to the active filter. There is also a Change Preview button at the bottom left of the panel.
- Below the Featured Options tab is a group of Beta filters, which are still in the refinement stage. The good news here is that we can download them and start working on them, and then provide feedback right from the filter panel to help improve future results.
- At the bottom of the Neural Filter panel is an Output header, allowing the user to change how the filter is applied. In the same way that the Select and Mask tools can be said to apply adjustments to a new selection or apply them directly to a layer mask, Neural Filters can be applied to the currently active layer, a new layer copied from the original (if you haven’t done this before), a duplicate layer with a mask, a new layer containing only these newly created pixels and as a Smart Filter — all both maintain the essentially non-destructive editing power we’ve come to expect from Photoshop.
