Adobe has launched Photoshop version 27.7 today, unveiling an on-device AI model for the Remove tool, which comes with notable hardware specifications.
### On-device processing limited to more powerful Macs
The major feature of Adobe Photoshop 27.7 is the newly introduced on-device AI model for the Remove tool. This capability permits users to eliminate objects without depending on cloud processing, allowing for local edits post model download. Users can control the model by downloading, cancelling, or uninstalling it whenever needed, with automatic compatibility checks prior to download. Furthermore, users have the option to toggle between cloud and on-device processing.
This local processing function is advantageous for users lacking an active internet connection and boosts privacy as data remains on the device for processing.
Nevertheless, the local AI processing necessitates specific hardware configurations. As stated by Adobe, the minimum requirements include:
| Component | Minimum hardware requirements |
|——————–|————————————————–|
| Processor | Apple silicon Mac with M1 Pro or later |
| Memory (RAM) | 24 GB or more |
| Operating system | macOS Tahoe (version 26.4) or later |
If a Mac fails to meet these criteria, the Device option will not be available, leaving users with the cloud-based version of the Remove tool.
### Additional Features in Photoshop 27.7
In addition to the Remove tool, numerous other features have been added:
– **Photoshop desktop and Firefly Boards integration**: Users can directly share Photoshop documents to Firefly Boards, making moodboarding and comparing AI-generated variations easier.
– **Ungating premium generative AI features**: Eligible subscribers now enjoy broader access to premium generative AI features, with existing generative credits able to be used across both standard and premium features.
– **Unified Account Menu in the Edit workspace**: Users can check and manage their Adobe account and subscription information directly from the Edit workspace via the new Unified Account Menu.
