The Complete Guide to Photoshop AI

Confused by the speed of change and complexity in Photoshop ai? Don’t be! This course will have you comfortable and confident in no time!

AI has completely changed what’s possible in Photoshop — and it’s moving fast. Photoshop just had a major update and the ai workflows have completely changed. If you’ve been trying to keep up, or you’re not sure where to start, this course covers everything in one place.

The Complete Guide to AI in Photoshop 2026 is a 29-lesson course built around the AI tools that are actually in Photoshop right now. It goes beyond just generative ai and also includes the powerful new removal tools and the classic Neural filters (the ones that matter). Colin’s calm and conversational style, makes learning easy as he breaks down complex topics into easy to understand plain English.

The course goes way beyond just Generative fill, it’s organized into three sections. You’ll start with Photoshop’s general AI tools — including the powerful Remove tool and the new Find Distractions feature that automatically detects and removes clutter, people, and objects from any photo. Then you’ll move into Neural Filters — skin smoothing, photo restoration, depth blur — intelligent filters that do heavy work in a fraction of the time. Finally, the Generative AI section digs deep into everything from basic Generative Fill to advanced techniques like multi-reference generation, text-based editing without selections, and finally explains how to choose the right ai model for the job (with a 54 page illustrated PFD guide).

You will learn exactly which model to choose BEFORE you perform a task, so you aren’t wasting Generative credits guessing.

You’ll also learn how to change clothing, add realistic reflections, edit text in photos, expand images beyond their original frame, turn a flat photo into a posable 3D object, and transform photos into painted styles — all inside Photoshop, using AI tools that are available to you right now.

Every lesson comes with downloadable follow-along images so you can work through each technique in real time. Written guides (PDF) are included for the more complex topics, so you always have something to refer back to.

This course is designed for photographers, designers, and creators of all levels. If you’re new to AI in Photoshop, you’ll find it clear and easy to follow. If you’ve been using these tools for a while, you’ll pick up techniques and workflows you haven’t seen before.
