How to edit images in ChatGPT using Adobe Photoshop: A step-by-step guide

Adobe has enabled a direct way to enhance, adjust, and stylise images inside ChatGPT using Adobe Photoshop. This integration allows users to describe edits in plain language and see Photoshop-powered results without opening the full desktop app. Here is a clear step-by-step guide to get started.

Photoshop for ChatGPT brings familiar image-editing capabilities into the chat interface. Users can apply colour corrections, retouch photos, expand images, or add effects simply by prompting. The tool is designed for quick edits, previews, and iterative refinement using natural language.

Step 1: Connect Adobe Photoshop to ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT and go to Settings. Navigate to Apps & Connectors, find Adobe Photoshop, and select Connect. Sign in with your Adobe account to complete the setup. This is a one-time process.

Step 2: Add Photoshop to your chat

In the chat input box, click the + icon. Choose More, then select Adobe Photoshop. This enables Photoshop-powered image editing within the conversation.

Step 3: Upload your image

Upload the image you want to edit along with your first prompt. Photoshop requires an image to be included in the initial request to generate results.

Step 4: Write a structured edit prompt

Describe exactly what you want to change. For example, you can ask to increase saturation, adjust lighting, remove distractions, or apply a specific effect. Adobe recommends using structured prompts for consistent results, especially when combining multiple edits.

Step 5: Review generated previews

After processing, ChatGPT displays multiple preview variations in a carousel. Each preview represents a different Photoshop-generated outcome based on your prompt.

Step 6: Refine in full-screen view

Select any preview to open it in full-screen mode. From here, you can fine-tune adjustments, compare variations, or continue editing through additional prompts.

Step 7: Apply further edits

You can keep prompting to make local edits, add effects, or tweak colours and tones. Changes are applied progressively, allowing you to build edits step by step.

Things to keep in mind

Photoshop for ChatGPT requires a browser with WebGPU support. If your device does not support WebGPU, you may see a “Device not yet supported” message. For best results, start with clear prompts and adjust gradually rather than requesting many complex changes at once. This integration offers a faster way to experiment with Photoshop edits directly inside ChatGPT while retaining Adobe’s image-processing quality.
